The POSTSCRIPT. 



Courteous Reader, 



I J /lvi,,g now ivith infinite Labour and induftiy perfeffled and ff-rifhed 

 J this' my MASTERPIECE for the Cure of Horfes and Mares, . 

 wherein the Phyrical part of Horfemanniip concerrlng ihofe manifold in- 

 ward Diitafes which are incident to Horfes is clearly difcovered,! and the 

 Chirurgical part concerning outward Accid-^nr?, is p!ainly*rp?ned and de- 

 fcribed ; and having for the more ablo'ace advancement of H^rieminOiip, 

 and to give Satisfaction therein, made a particular Specalaiion and run 

 through every Part, Vein, Bone, Sinew and Artery pf^the Htirfe^s Boiy^ , 

 dcmonilraring not only their Number and Place by Eigiire, but alfo 

 confidering their DifafFedions and Difeafes which df) thereunto belong; 

 and having alfo with much pain (as a Work of this difficult Nature rcqui- 

 reth) brought it to a full period, not only given you a few Terms of Arc 

 concerning Horfemanfliip, but making an Anatomy from K.'ad to Foot of 

 all the Integral Parts of a Horfe,. with their Difeafes inward and out- 

 ward, and their Phyllcal and Chirurgical Cure e'xadly prefcribed and fet 

 down, and have given you ocular Demonftrations oPthe u'hole Fabrick of 

 the Horfe's Body ; fo that as in a Map you may behold every fmall Parr, 

 River, Creek or Stream running jip and down Vcithin the Superficies of the 

 Earth ;, To. 1 have iikewife made and drawn divers Pj€tureF, ietring out all 

 the Parts and Parcels of a Horfe'sJBQdy, and 'that they, may be 'plainly feen 

 and confidered, 1 have moft lively delineated and figured otit every Part 

 and Vein in the Horfe, where to find it from Head to Foot^ I have alfo 

 Anatomized the Horfe in every Bone, that you may perceive their Con- 

 jundion, and, how they are joined, and thereby judge of their Dillocations, 

 and putting out of their Places : And all this you fhall at one. view behold 

 in the feveral Parts and Figures, which you fhall find in this Book. . 



Therefore, I would advife all Gentlemen, and others, who being of a 

 Generous Spirit,who'^cannoc chufe but delight and take wonderful plcafure 

 in Horfes,to confider,that for v,7ant of Care and Experience many excellent 

 Horfes falling into flight and common Difeafes, have either utterly perifhed 

 or elfe been lamed and fpoilcd ; it will be therefore a Study worthy the 

 Thoughts of a Generous Spirit, to know how to accommodate and apply 

 Cures and Medicines to the outward and inward Difeafes of Horfes, in re- 

 gard that a Horfe is a Beaft whofe Praifes cannot be fufficiently declared. 



The Horfe is commodious for common ufe, as pleafing Tillage and tran- 

 fporting of Carriages and Burthens, and alfo for Men's continual 

 Occafiorn and daily Journeys, In time of Peace, when Princes did ufe to
