Horfenun that the next Train is to begin where the 

 laf^ ends^ and the laft train is to be ended at ihtfiart- 

 i»^Poi?of the Courfe. Therefore obfervc to end 

 your lafl on deep Earths as well as the flrft. 



In the next place have a care of making a Match 

 ofafuddain, and m Drink,-, for fear leaft you repent 

 when yoo are Sober. Neither make a match againft a 

 Horfe , which you do not k^'ow » without firft con- 

 fulting fome skilfull or truftv Friend^ on whofe Judg- 

 ment and Honefty you can fafely rely, and who is 

 able to give a good uiccoMnt of vour ^dverfariesHor-

 him any ways correfpondent to your own mfpeedor

 Tome realonable probabilities of Wtnmrg : for tis 

 neither Br^ggs nor Fancy that will make yoifr Horfe 

 run one jot the better , or your Advcrfnrys the vforfe : 

 and remember this , that there is no Horfe fo^oo^, 

 but there may be another as good , and then if you 

 proceed on good Grounds ^ and true Judgm^ent., you
