the molten Greafe defcending unto the Feet, to cake and 

 congeal , which is the prime ground of this malady. And 

 this not only my felf, but all the molt perite Farriers do 

 with an unanimous aflent acknowledge. And therefore I do 

 admonifh you and every man, whoisaHorfesfriend, 



Firll, to be very careful not to exercife his Horfe too fooii 

 after his taking up from Grafs. 



Secondly, whilil he is very fat, that do not over-travel, 

 over-labour, or over-toyl him. • 



Thirdly, that having travelled hard, and to prevent his 

 foundrmg, let him be more gently ridden an hour before 

 he comethto his lodging, to the end he may be cool, and- 

 the more free from danger. 



Fourthly, if one hour before you get to your lodging, you 

 ride him into fome River, or other watring place up to the. 

 Belly, ( but not deeper ) then water him by degrees, ftill be- 

 twixt every draught, ftirring and removing him a little, it 

 would not be amifs 3 but then fo foon as you be come forth of 

 the water, it were very good you did continue him in the 

 fame pace, going neither falter nor flower, (like as I have 

 before inculcated) it will be the better alfo, and your Horfe 

 out of danger of foundring. 



Fifthly, forbear evermore ( cfpecially if your Hotfe be 

 keated) to water him in any Ihallow place. 



Sixthly, bcfide his being warm fet up with litter enough, 



4et him have ftore of rubbing, as well of his Legs as Body, 



for it is amoft wholfome thing, it diflblveth molten Greafe 



very much, and it doth diffipate and fend away bad Humours. 



Laftly, picking and ftopping of his Feet in time of jour- 

 Keying, and after, is very good and profitable. And thus 

 have rihewed by what means this malady cometh to the 

 Horfe, liowfoever many other ways there are, which I have 

 touched, by reafon they are fo vulgarly known to every man, 

 and therefore your felf cannot be ignorant of them.
