either Flailter or Unguent, tor you Ihall underihnd, that when a Hoife 

 receiveth any Strain or Bruife, either in the upper joints of his Shoulder, 

 or his Hips, which joints do not (tand one up«n another, as the lower 

 join[s,do but they go one into another, as the oneend of the Marrow-bone 

 into the pot of the Spade-bone, and the other end into the pot of the 

 Elbow, which is a double Bone : Now as I fiy^ when a Bruife is received 

 in thele parts, if by prefent Application of hot and comfortable Medicines, 

 the grief be not taken away, then quickly there gathers between the Pot 

 and the Bone, a certain bruifed Jelly, which continually offending the 

 tender Griltle which covers the end of every Bone, mjkes the Horlts to 

 halt vehemently, and then is this corrupt Matter not to be taken away by 

 any outward Medicine, but by Roweiling only •, and as I fpeak of the 

 Shoulder, fb I fpeak of the Hips alfo, where the upper Thigh-bone, goeth 

 into the Pot of the Cannel bone, and there breeds the like Infirmity. 

 Now for the manner of Kowellirig, it is in this Ibrt : Firft, when you 

 Have found out the certain place of the Horfe's Grief as whether it be on 

 the fore-pitch of the Shoulder, on the hinder Elbow, or on the Hip, then 

 you fhail (having caft the Horfe upon fome. Dung- hill, or loft Ground) 

 make a little flit more than a good handful below the p!ace of his Grief 

 thro' the Skin, and no more, fo big as you may well thrult in a Swan's 

 quill into the fame: Then with your Cronet rdife the Skin a little from 

 the Flefh, and then put in your Quill, and blow ail the Skin from the 

 Flefh upward, even to the top, and all over the Shoulder: Then (topping 

 the whole with your ■-inger and your Thumb, rake a fmall Hazel Itick, 

 and beat the blown pbce all over ^ and then with your Hand fpread the 

 Wind into every part, and after let it go : Then take a Tampin of Horfe- 

 Jiair twound togerher, or which is better, of red Sarfenet, half the bignefs 

 of a Man's little Finger, or about a Foot or (ixicen Inches in length, put- 

 ting it into your Roweiling Needle, which would beat theleaft k\tn oreight 

 Inches long-? thruft it in at the fiift hole, and fo putting it upward, draw 

 it cut again at lealt fix Inches above, and then if ycu pleafe, you- may- 

 put in another- above that: And then tie the two ends of the Tampins or 

 Rowels together, and move and draw them to and fro in the Skin/in any 

 ivife not forgetting, both before ycu put them in, and every Day after they 

 are in, to anoint them well with Butter, Hogs-greale, or Oil de Bay. 



pO^ Now theie be other Farriers, which in that they are opiniated 

 that thefe long Rowels, or Tampins of Hair or Silk, do make both a double 

 fore, and a great fear, therefore they make their Rowels of round pieces of 

 ftifF Leather, fuch as is in the upper part of an old Shooe, with 

 a round hole in the mldft accorc ing to this Form; and then 

 doubling it when they put it in, as foon as it is within, to 

 fpread it, and lay it flat betweeft the Flefli and the skin^ and,
