 time within the body of the Horfe, they will make their way 

 through the aforefaid great ^//f, and the trwichions through the 

 maw, both which f^ermme do bring death to the Horle. Now J^^""^^ 

 I do aver, that there is a third fort, which have none other veT °^ 

 denomination than plain i'Vormes, unlefs you will add the word which Jo 

 waw-woy/ns^ and fo Itile them Minv-wormesj which name indeed engender 

 is mon; proper to them, by reafon that they feletfl for their JP '^ebo- 

 refting place the maw only, from which they never depart, tj^^^ ^''^

 Horfe, by means of evil, raw, and flegmatique meats, which 

 have turned to bad digeltion, whereby putriffed matter hath 

 bred in the Maw, and from thence thefe three forts of evil 

 creatures have engendred. You may very eafdy know when 

 your Horfe is troubled with them j for he will fweat with 

 pain, ftamp with \\is forefeet ■> and llrike at his belly with his 

 hinder-feet •, he will alio turn his head towards his belly to look 

 upon it, and forfake his meat, he will alfo groan, tumble, and
