 great pain and labour, and doth proceed fometim.cs from the weak- 

 nefs of the Bladder, and the cold intemperance thereof, and fometimes 

 through the abundance of Flegm and grofs Humours, flopping the Keck 

 ofthe^Bladder. The Signs whereof are, the Horfe will ftretch himfeif 

 out as though he would itale, and thruft out his Yard a little, and with a 

 Pain clap his Tail betwixt his Thighs to his Belly, and having ftood fo a 

 good while, in the end he will ftale a good quantity.

 Horfe to Sheep-coats, or Sheep-pens, where great ilore of Sheep are 

 wonted, and making the Horfe to fmell of the Dung and Pifs of the 

 Sheep, it will provoke him to Stale prefently. Others ufe to give the 

 Horfe white Dog's Dung dried and mingled with Ammoniacum, Salt, 

 and Wine to drink :;, or elfe Hogs Dung only with Wine, or the dregs of 

 Horfe-pifs and Wine.
