Hippoph. \ 7" \ THat is good to be afflyed to a Horfe that is 

 V V Surbated.? 



Hippof. Two ways a horfe doth furbate ^ thefirflis when 

 a horfe is newly backt and weighed, upon his firft Ihooiiig, 

 and when the owner of the horfe will not have patience 

 with him, but will prefently journey him upon hard and 

 Itoney ways, his hoofs and feet being yet but tender to 

 what they will be afterward, and fo the horfe mufl needs 

 furbate. The fecond way is, when a horfe hath of himfelf 

 bad feet, and is alfo either illfhod, or elfe his j/soow be very 

 thin worn, or that they be too narrow or too fhort, and 

 that he be ridden upon bad, hard, ftony , and rough ways ; 

 in fuch like cafes your horfe will furbate , you Ihall find it 

 by the handling of his feet, efpecially the next day after a 

 long journey, by reafon he will not ftand Hill long upon his 

 feet without hitching them up, and removing them, for 

 they will be fo fore as that he will not know how or where 

 to place them j and you Ihall alfo perceive him to htfHrbat- 

 edy by reafon that after a journey he will lie much, ftandr 

 ing being painful unto him •, and in his lying you fliall fee him 

 covet to lie & llretch himfelf all along upon one fide and if 

 you feel the coffins of his hoofs you fhall find them to burn 

 very hot, and his hoofs to be very dry. The cure is very 

 facile. 



Take two new laid Eggs, and after you have well pick- 

 ed his fore-feer^ break them raw into the folcs^ and then Hop 

 them up with Oxe or Cow-dung, and he will be well by 

 ' the next morning, This is an approved good cure.

Jl X tippof. This mifchief cometh accidentt^lly ; 

 to wit, either by a ftrain in leaping, or by a flip in travel,

 either out of its place, or elfe the joynt is very much grai-
