a_o horse_n that_o must_v endure_v extreme_a labour_n then_o they_o kneade_v it_o with_o nothing_o but_o cold_a water_n which_o make_v it_o so_o heavy_a and_o sad_a that_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o

that_o this_o be_v and_o work_v the_o same_o effect_n only_o it_o be_v of_o more_o strength_n and_o force_n then_o be_v there_o salad_n oil_n and_o milk_n mingle_v together_o and_o so_o lukewarm_a to_o be_v give_v to_o a_o horse_n this_o purge_v the_o stomach_n &_o entrails_n of_o all_o gross_a matter_n and_o melt_a grease_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o fat_a horse_n also_o some_o

to_o be_v give_v together_o this_o be_v of_o the_o same_o virtue_n that_o sallet-oyle_n and_o milk_n be_v save_v that_o it_o be_v somewhat_o more_o comfortable_a for_o as_o it_o purge_v so_o it_o
