 up and let him ftand an hour or two till he be cold,then take 

 him forth again, and let your man trot him in his hand at the 

 end of the Rein as he did before, and thus you ihall perceive , 

 him to halt and complain, and well obferving him and his gate 

 or going, you may eafily find the place grieved. And ifany 

 lamenefs whether before or behind, do proceed from any hot 

 caufe,then you ihall beft know it,for that the more you travel 

 or exercife him, and the warmer he is, the more he will halt. 

 But if his grief fhall proceed from any cold caufe,then will he 

 haltmofl:, being cold after he hath been travelled and fet up 

 warm.

 and this you may eafily find, in that the horfe will appear to 

 your eye to be very narrow brefted, and to confume and waft 

 in his fleih from thofe parts where grief remaineth •, and
