will qiieftion their Fhyficd and learned diftindions, for I could 

 never conclude them but in a few, as Quotidian^ Tertian^ Qmr-

 more malignant then others be, onely a HeBiqne Peaver is of a 

 different nature from the former, and fo alfo a Fefiiknt Feaver 

 may he. Now as touching Feavers which come in the Spring, 

 Summer, Autumn, or Winter, I cannot fee why they fhould be 

 Feaz'crs different in nature from thefe other, for there are not 

 any of thcfe, but may come to a Horfe in any of thefe Seafoas.

Hippoph. X2^^^ whence do Feavers froceed ? 



X: Hiffof. FirlljSir you mull underfland that Feavers^ 

 are of two forts, that is to fay. Ordinary and Accidental. The 

 ordinary Feavers are thofe that come of Surfeits, over-riding, 

 and labour, unwholfome meat, as moift, raw, mouldy, and mufty

 where is want of houfmg Ihelterto go into, orlhadyTreesto 

 be under, and fuch kind of ^gnes do prove for the moft part ei- 

 ther HeBickpxTeftilent Feavers^ for by that means his Blood be- 

 cometh inflamed, whereby the Humonr of Ckoler is predomi- 

 nate. Now Sir, if you be pleafed to obferve ftridly and care- 

 fully, you fhall alfo find that Feavers do come many times alfo 

 from a quite contrary caufe j as from cold taken upon hard 

 riding, or great labour, and by having at fuch time cold water 

 given him to drink, or by walliing or walking, having fweat 

 much, or by being out too late in the crifp or putting in of 

 the evening, or upon day breaking, efpecially near or among 

 Fenny, Moorifh, or Marilh grounds, by reafon that naughty 

 vapours do arife from fuch kind of places. Feavers alfo do 

 accrew to Horfes when upon hard riding and great toyl, you give 

 your Horfe cold water drawn out of a Well, which being much
