 a Brulh •, and laftly rub him over very well with a 

 dry Cloth, and cloath him up warm, throwing alio 

 over him, if the Weather be cold, a loofe Blanket, 

 Let him faft full two Hours after taking the Scour- 

 ing ; and during that time go not out of the Stable, 

 but keep him awake by making a noife, and ftirring 

 him now and then. 



After he has fatted upon the Bridle two Hours; 

 take a Handful of Wheat-ears, and coming to him, 

 feel the Roots of his Ears, and under his Cloaths 

 next to his Heart, and upon his Flanks •, and if 

 you find any new Sweat arife, or Coldnefs, or that

 or four Handfuls, but no more : Then drawing
