 fuch Maflers would turn their Horfes to Grafs, and 

 allow them the like Quantity of Corn in Summer 

 which they {liould do in Winter, if they are expec-

 will not be fubjedl to the Greafe, and yet perform. 

 a Journey very well, but not look fo fleek and fine 

 coated as thofe which lie in the Houfe.
