fb great malice as that look what you do apply to the place 

 (unlefs you hit the Cure right) it will do it no good, but more 

 harm, much after the nature of a No!i me Tan^ere^ or wild 

 fire. This Difeafe is alio called by fome the Shmgles in a Horle, 

 and like as the^ Difeafe it felf is very rare and feldora known in 

 a Horfe, fo alio is the Cure as uncouth and ftrange. For my 

 part 1 will not profefs my felf to be any whit more skilful than 

 indeed I am : This indeed I never yet obferved to be in any 

 Horfe: I only have heard fbme Ferriers talk thereof ^ but yet 

 I never heard but of one man, who was ever truly able to 

 make a Cure thereof .• and this was a Knight of very good 

 worlhip who taught it me, fee averring confidently unto me, 

 how that he had cured three feveral Horfes of this very mala- 

 dy. I asked him whence this dileale proceedeth, and what 

 are the fymptomes whereby to know the fame ? he anfwered 

 raethat he could never rightly come to be mathematically af-

Ing, and endangering whom or whatfbever thing cometh into / 

 his way *, and when he cannot have his mind of living crea- 

 tHrei-i whereupon to wreak his malice,then will he do it partly 

 upon dead creatures, by biting and gnawing his Manger and 

 Rack- Haves, and by ftriking the Polls and Barrs with his W//, 

 and partly upon himlelf, by beating his head ^gainlt the wall 

 and ground j he will alfo forfake both his meat and deep, or 1 

 natural reft, until he dyeth, if he be not in time cured, which- \ 

 is thus. 



Take firft hdp enough, and caft him, which done, take a S. Anrho- 

 Worm which growcth in a Fnllers Teazell, and put this ^i^orm °'" ^^'^• 

 alive, and without any hurt into a ^w//, then Hit the skin of the- 

 fore-head of the H^rfe under the foretop^ and open the lame 

 roundabout with your ccr^rr^making a concavity an inch round 

 every way and better, betwixt the jkin and the hont , which
