the_o morning_n the_o day_n before_o your_o match_n feed_v well_o both_o before_o and_o after_o air_v and_o water_n as_o at_o other_o time_n before_o noon_n and_o after_o noon_n scant_o his_o

muzell_n shod_a their_o horse_n with_o light_a shoe_n and_o do_v other_o action_n of_o ornament_n about_o they_o the_o night_n before_o the_o course_n that_o their_o horse_n have_v take_v such_o

unsavoury_a or_o suffocat_n and_o overheat_n the_o horse_n which_o the_o netmuzell_n never_o do_v when_o the_o shoe_n stand_v uneasy_a or_o any_o other_o toy_n of_o curiosity_n that_o give_v offence_n than_o no_o question_n but_o these_o accident_n happen_v for_o my_o own_o part_n touch_v the_o nice_a and_o straight_o pla●ing_v up_o of_o horse_n tail_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o sacker_n or_o dock_n which_o be_v now_o in_o general_a use_n howsoever_o the_o ornament_n may_v appear_v great_a to_o the_o eye_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o much_o affect_v it_o because_o i_o know_v if_o a_o ignorant_a hand_n have_v the_o workmanship_n thereof_o he_o may_v many_o way_n give_v offence_n to_o the_o horse_n and_o in_o avoid_v cumbersomnesse_n breed_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o cumber_v therefore_o i_o wish_v every_o one_o rather_o to_o avoid_v curiosity_n which_o we_o call_v necessary_a ornament_n then_o by_o these_o false_a grace_n to_o do_v injury_n to_o the_o horse_n now_o for_o the_o necessary_a and_o indifferent_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o the_o horse_n i_o will_v rather_o have_v they_o do_v the_o day_n before_o then_o on_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o course_n because_o i_o will_v have_v the_o horse_n that_o morning_n to_o find_v no_o trouble_n or_o vexation_n late_o at_o night_n you_o shall_v feed_v as_o you_o do_v in_o the_o morning_n now_o i_o do_v not_o set_v you_o down_o
