prevent_v all_o the_o force_n of_o sickness_n and_o restore_v the_o horse_n to_o his_o former_a strength_n and_o good_a estate_n of_o body_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o all_o inward_a sickness_n and_o their_o prevention_n two_o sort_n of_o ball_n to_o ●●re_v any_o violent_a cold_a or_o glander_n to_o prevent_v heart-sicknesse_n to_o purge_v away_o all_o melt_a grease_n to_o recover_v a_o lose_a

the_o flower_n of_o brimstone_n then_o take_v a_o ounce_n of_o the_o best_a juice_n of_o liquorice_n and_o dissolve_v it_o in_o half_a a_o pint_n of_o white_a wine_n which_o do_v take_v a_o ounce_n

with_o the_o former_a powder_n and_o with_o as_o much_o fine_a wheat_n flower_n as_o will_v bind_v &_o knit_v they_o altogether_o then_o work_v they_o into_o a_o stiff_a paste_n and_o make_v thereof_o

either_o into_o sweet_a wine_n beer_n or_o ale_n and_o so_o give_v it_o the_o horse_n to_o drink_v with_o a_o horn_n but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o fatten_v and_o to_o take_v away_o infirmity_n as_o the_o

can_v drink_v too_o much_o of_o this_o water_n then_o ride_v and_o warm_v he_o a_o little_a after_o it_o then_o when_o the_o water_n be_v spend_v do_v not_o cast_v away_o the_o bottom_n but_o fill_v
