and stirred up the grease and foulness within him OUTWARD SORRANCES The Signes of outward Sorrances OUtward Sorrances are discerned when any member or part in an horse is disfigured or evill affected by the loss of true shape disability in motion the increase or decrease of number and quantity the disproportion of place or the separating of things knit and united And these accidents have divers names as Imposthumes Ulcers or wounds when they are in fleshy parts Excretions or Fractures on and in the bones Ruptures in the veins convulsions in the sinews and Excoriations upon the skin The first is known by outward swellings rotten or bloody sores the next by utter disability in the member or else plain halting The next by Wens and Knots both soft and hard the next by gordgings and haltings and the last by scurf and leprosie Now forasmuch as the greatest part of Sotrances and especially those which are most hid and obscure are found our by halting I will shew you the severall manner of haltings and what they signifie If the horse halt before and lift not up his leg but in a manner traileth it after the other it sheweth a new hurt on the top of the shoulder If he cast his leg outward or go Bakerlike and not bend the knee it is either an old hurt on the top of the shoulder or if new then it is a shoulder-plat or rending betwixt the shoulder and the body if

in turning short he favour his foot if griping his withers he complain if he halt more when he is ridden then led the offence is on the top of the shoulder If standing in the stable thrust forth his foot and favour it then search his foot and if in that be found no prick no dry founder no surbat then it is in the mid part of the shoulder or the coffin joynt If halting he bow down his head to the ground and step short and thick then it is in the forepart of the shoulder at the breast If in handling his elbow hard he twitch up his foot suddenly from the ground the offence is there If on his shank bones in their severall places be splents excressions windgalls or Maleanders and they sore they will occasion halting as any other outward Sorrance upon any other member Heat on the Crownet shews pain in the Coffin joynt In halting before to trip on the Toe shews pain in the heel to favour the Toe shews payn in the Toe to halt more on uneven ground then one the even shews pain in the feet and in going from you and comming to you may be discerned whether the outward or inward quarter but to clear all doubts the Pincers will shew any pain in the foot whatsoever If your horse halt behind and in halting go sidelong and not in an even line the grief is in the hip and yet but new or in the Fillets and may be new or old If it be old in the hip the hip will fall and then no cure If in halting he tread onely on his hinder Toe and no offence in the foot then the pain is in the stiffell If in halting he bend not his hough or ham and no outward Sorrance yet the pain is there If he halt through any offence in his leg from the ham to the pastern outward Sorrance or swelling will shew it and so likewise for the other parts below it For soar Eyes dim Eyes and Moon eyes Take Lapis Calaminaris halfe an ounce and heat it red hot and quenchin it a quarter of a pint of Plantane water or white wine do this eight or nine times then beat it to powder and put it to the water then add half a dram of Aloes and a scruple of Camphire in powder and let them dissolve drop this into the eye Another for eyes of like nature Take a pint of snow water and dissolve into it three or four drams of white Vitrioll and with it wash the horses eyes three or four times a day and it helpeth For a white Film or Skin over the Eye Take the root of the black Sallow and burn it to ashes then put to it a like quantity of Sugar and grated Ginger finely searc'd blow this into the eye morning and evening For any sorenses in the eyes as Pearl Pin or Web or Bruise Take a new laid egge and rost it very hard then cleave it in sunder longwise and take out the yelk then fill the empty holes with white vitriole finely beaten and close the egge again then rost it the second time till the vitriole be molten Lastly beat the egge shell and all in a mortar and strain it and with that moisture dress the eye If in stead of the vitriole you fill the holes with Myrrh finely searc'd and hang the egge up that it may drop and with that moisture dress the eye it is every way as good onely it is a little stronger For foul eyes sore eyes or sight almost lost There be some that for this great offence in the eye put in two fine small rowels long-wise in the temples of the head just behind the eyes But for mine own part I not much fancy it because I fear it breeds more evil humor then it brings away besides soreness and disgrace therefore in this cure my practise is thus Take Tacchamahaca Mastick Rosin and Pitch of each like quantity and being molten with flax of the colour of the horse lay it as a defensive on each side his temples as big as a twenty shillings piece then underneath his eyes upon the cheek bone with a round Iron burn three or four holes and anoint them with sweet butter then take a handfull of Seladine and wash it clean in white wine but let it touch no water then bruise it and strain it and to the quantity of juyce put the third part of womans milk and a pretty quantity of white Sugarcandy searc'd thorow a piece of Lawn and with a feather quill or otherwise drop it into the sore ey morning and evening Thus do for the worst of sore eys but if the offence be not extream then you may forbear both the defensitive the burning and the rowels and onely use the medicine The Master Medicine for a back sinew-strain or any strain shrinking or numbness of sinews Take a fat sucking Mastive whelp fley it and howell it then stop the body as full as it can hold with gray snails and black snails then rost it at a reasonable fire when it begins to warm bast it with six ounces of the oyl of Spike made yellow with Saffron and six ounces of the oyle of Wax then save the droppings and what moysture soever falls from it whilst any drop will fall and keep it in a Gallipot With this anoint the strain and work it invery hot holding a bar of Iron before it and thus do both morning and evening till a mendment Another in nature of a charge for a back sinnew-strain Take five
