and_o above_o all_o this_o the_o colt_n will_v by_o his_o run_v abroad_o with_o the_o mare_n become_v so_o savage_a and_o wild_a as_o that_o if_o any_o infirmity_n shall_v happen_v to_o seize_v upon_o it_o it_o be_v own_o unrulinesse_n will_v be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o cure_n may_v thereby_o become_v the_o more_o difficile_a for_o to_o speak_v true_o infinite_a have_v be_v and_o daily_o be_v the_o number_n of_o colt_n yea_o and_o those_o many_o time_n right_o breed_v which_o have_v miscarry_v and_o perish_v in_o this_o nature_n i_o do_v therefore_o conclude_v and_o as_o a_o friend_n to_o my_o country_n aver_v that_o the_o able_a way_n to_o breed_v up_o the_o best_a and_o most_o serviceable_a horse_n be_v as_o i_o have_v before_o inculcate_v after_o this_o method_n and_o none_o other_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o advise_v all_o noble_a gentleman_n who_o be_v lover_n of_o good_a horse_n and_o of_o this_o mystery_n to_o make_v trial_n and_o to_o put_v these_o my_o

more_o than_o forty_o year_n good_a experience_n during_o which_o time_n i_o intimate_v these_o my_o ground_n to_o a_o knight_n a_o intimate_a friend_n of_o i_o who_o be_v a_o great_a lover_n of_o good_a horse_n and_o as_o great_a a_o breeder_n as_o a_o lover_n of_o they_o and_o very_o well_o verse_v in_o horsemanship_n who_o hear_v my_o reason_n and_o thorough_o digest_v they_o approve_v of_o they_o so_o well_o as_o that_o he_o fall_v to_o follow_v these_o my_o instruction_n and_o esteem_v they_o sufficient_a will_v never_o be_v bring_v from_o they_o after_o he_o affirm_v no_o way_n comparable_a to_o this_o for_o he_o find_v by_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o whereas_o in_o former_a time_n in_o breed_n as_o common_o he_o do_v ten_o or_o twelve_o colt_n yearly_a when_o they_o come_v to_o back_n ride_v and_o proof_n of_o those_o ten_o or_o twelve_o he_o think_v himself_o well_o appay_v and_o his_o labour_n and_o cost_v well_o bestow_v if_o two_o or_o three_o at_o the_o most_o prove_v right_o and_o to_o his_o mind_n whereas_o ever_o after_o in_o ten_o colt_n thus_o breed_v and_o rear_v up_o hardly_o any_o one_o miss_v which_o prove_v not_o right_a and_o to_o his_o good_a like_n and_o this_o manner_n of_o breed_v make_v he_o more_o in_o love_n with_o this_o mystery_n than_o ever_o before_o reason_n dictate_v it_o so_o well_o unto_o he_o for_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v when_o the_o stallion_n and_o mare_n be_v both_o right_a and_o have_v all_o their_o true_a attribute_n and_o the_o time_n season_n and_o manner_n of_o breed_v with_o all_o circumstance_n thereunto_o belong_v punctual_o and_o in_o every_o point_n due_o observe_v it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o the_o colt_n to_o prove_v ill_o but_o if_o otherwise_o then_o marvel_v not_o if_o the_o colt_n answer_v not_o your_o expectation_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a adage_n which_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d jade_n sire_n jade_n colt_n wherefore_o if_o upon_o trial_n it_o

disprofit_v and_o weaken_v both_o of_o king_n and_o country_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n i_o shall_v in_o a_o word_n tell_v you_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bring_v his_o work_n

not_o to_o traduce_v or_o control_v any_o man_n but_o this_o i_o will_v say_v that_o if_o a_o good_a horse_n have_v these_o property_n adherent_a to_o his_o goodness_n then_o be_v he_o questionless_a in_o much_o better_a esteem_n for_o if_o beauty_n be_v add_v to_o his_o other_o inward_a virtue_n then_o be_v he_o like_a to_o the_o nightingale_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o april_n hear_v and_o

to_o all_o beholder_n will_v not_o these_o endowment_n set_v he_o the_o better_a forth_o and_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v the_o better_o esteem_v of_o every_o man_n desire_v and_o much_o more_o money_n

he_o at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o otherwise_o you_o will_v have_v do_v yes_o assure_o and_o hereof_o i_o make_v no_o question_n true_a it_o be_v and_o i_o must_v confess_v no_o less_o that_o a_o horse_n may_v be_v very_o good_a and_o perform_v his_o function_n very_o well_o who_o have_v neither_o good_a colour_n true_a mark_n or_o perfect_a shape_n nevertheless_o these_o extrinsecall_v

wherefore_o because_o these_o thing_n be_v term_v exterior_a virtue_n and_o therefore_o take_v its_o object_n from_o the_o eye_n only_o i_o will_v conjoin_v they_o altogether_o in_o this_o my_o
