with_o anguish_n for_o this_o manner_n of_o train_v will_v make_v he_o take_v delight_n in_o his_o labour_n and_o so_o the_o better_o endure_v it_o but_o the_o contrary_n will_v bread_n uneasiness_n and_o make_v his_o exercise_n become_v a_o toil_n but_o if_o his_o heat_a day_n be_v upon_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n then_o that_o his_o match_n be_v to_o be_v run_v upon_o then_o make_v he_o only_o go_v over_o the_o course_n at_o a_o slow_a and_o gentle_a gallop_n only_o to_o increase_v his_o wind_n and_o cause_n sweat_v that_o so_o the_o scour_n you_o be_v to_o give_v he_o after_o his_o heat_n may_v have_v some_o loose_a grease_n to_o work_v upon_o and_o bring_v away_o for_o this_o be_v the_o only_a design_n of_o the_o second_o heat_n in_o each_o week_n otherwise_o be_v both_o
