some_o few_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o give_v of_o heat_n in_o give_v of_o heat_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o two_o in_o the_o week_n be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o horse_n of_o whatsoever_o condition_n or_o state_n of_o body_n second_o that_o one_o of_o themshould_n always_o be_v give_v upon_o that_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o which_o your_o horse_n be_v to_o run_v his_o

increase_v wind_n and_o cause_n sweat_n then_o to_o improve_v his_o speed_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o order_v they_o thus_o suppose_v your_o match_n day_n be_v to_o be_v upon_o a_o monday_n than_o your_o heat_n day_n must_v be_v mondays_n and_o frydays_n and_o the_o sharp_a heat_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o monday_n because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o match_n if_o the_o day_n be_v tuesday_n than_o your_o heat_n day_n be_v tuesdays_n and_o saturday_n if_o wednesday_n then_o wednesdays_n and_o saturday_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o thursday_n then_o thursdays_n and_o mâ—ndays_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n still_o observe_v to_o run_v he_o more_o smart_o upon_o these_o heat_n day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o which_o the_o match_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v run_v than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o three_o you_o shall_v give_v no_o heat_n but_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o rain_n or_o foul_a weather_n but_o rather_o defer_v hour_n and_o change_v day_n for_o it_o be_v unwholesome_a and_o dangerous_a and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o sudden_a shower_n and_o uncertain_a weather_n you_o shall_v have_v for_o your_o horse_n a_o hood_n loynd_v quite_o through_o to_o keep_v out_o the_o
a_o great_a quantity_n and_o rather_o give_v he_o less_o as_o he_o desit_v then_o more_o also_o that_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v the_o soon_o to_o take_v it_o mix_v the_o meat_n he_o love_v worst_a with_o that_o he_o like_v best_o till_o both_o be_v make_v alike_o familiar_a and_o so_o shall_v your_o horse_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o nothing_o that_o be_v good_a and_o wholesome_a 2._o observation_n from_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o his_o body_n both_o laward_n and_o outward_a our_o keeper_n must_v observe_v that_o the_o strong_a state_n of_o body_n which_o be_v general_o

performance_n of_o great_a match_n yet_o herein_o he_o must_v also_o consider_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o horse_n body_n the_o second_o his_o inclination_n and_o manner_n of_o feed_v for_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o horse_n body_n there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v of_o a_o round_a plump_a and_o close_o knit_v shape_n so_o that_o they_o will_v appear_v fat_a and_o well_o

and_o full_a of_o gross_a humour_n so_o likewise_o for_o their_o inclination_n some_o horse_n in_o feed_v will_v grow_v plump_a and_o lusty_a outward_o and_o carry_v as_o we_o say_v a_o thick_a rib_n

ever_o he_o seem_v in_o outward_a appearance_n as_o for_o the_o inward_a help_n it_o be_v only_o sharp_a exercise_n and_o good_a and_o beneficial_a seouring_n for_o the_o first_o you_o be_v sure_o
