Now Airing brings fev'eral ^dvanta^es to the 

 HoiTe. Fir fly it purifies the hlood^ (if the Air be 

 clean and fure-^ it p/^r^^/tlie Bo/j/yfrom many^ro/i 

 and luftbcating Humors^ and fo hardens and enfeams 

 the Horfes f ^f, that it is not near fo liable to be dif- 

 folvd by ordinary Exercife. Secondly^ it teaches him 

 how to let his Wind rake equally and ks^p time with 

 the Other A3:ions or Motions oi his Body. Thirdly^ 

 it fharpens the j4ppetite^ and provokes the Stomachy 

 (which is of great advantage both to Hunters and 

 Gallopers^ "who 2ire apt to lop fe their 5?<j»f^c/7 through 

 e'^Cf/j or W^wf of Exercife ) ; for the fljarpnefs of the

 rior to ihQ interior parts, which Heat by furthering 

 ConcoBion creates an Appetite. Lajlly^ it increafes

But whereas Mr. Markam^ in his W^-^j' /o^ct vaealthy

 him before Sun rife, and after Sun-fet ^ and that the 

 j4uthor of the Gemleman*s Jockey, S°. pag. 14. fays, 

 that nothing is more wholfome than early and /^ff Air- 

 ings •, I think the contrary may be made out from 

 Experience. For in this Art, all things that any ways 

 hinder the ftrength and vigor of Nature^ are to be 

 avoided j now, that extreamity of Cold, and being 

 out early and late do fo, is evidently feen by Horfes 

 that rtm abroad all Winter, which however hardily 

 bred, and kept with the befl care and Fodder, yet 

 cannot by any means be -^^v^^'c'^^ to fo good cafe in 

 Winter zszn in different Palture will raife them to in 

 Summer. And this holding true of the NoBumal 

 Colds , muft needs be verified in feme proportionate 

 meafure of the Morning and E^'ening Diws , and
