H Defccipti'on of liWng Creaturejs^ 9 j 
Jiorfes, as there is among Oxen and other Crea- 
tures. 
9. As Oxen delight to feed upon the H Ih> Hor- 
fes, on the contrary, delight to feed upon a plain , 
where they are moll fervicea ble in time of V Var ; 
he cannot endure to go in boggy ground, and there- 
fore we \n Livye’ s Hillory, advi- 
fed the Enemy to go into fome Moorilh place ; the 
Horfe taketh great delight in waihing himfelf, arHi 
therefore will oftentimes lye down in the water j 
when be drinketh he muddeth e water with is 
feet, but the 0^ loveth to drink in clear water ;the 
reafon of which may be, becaufe he feeth his fta- 
dow the better in it.; wiien Bncefba/ffs was brought 
to Philip of Macedo/tj he began to rage as if he 
were mad ; Alexander., though he was but a young 
man, came to him , and turned him to the Sun, 
( for if he perceived the fliadow of any one , it 
made him ftar tie ) and immediately the fhrfe was 
very gentle, to the great admiration of his Fa- 
ther ; great care is to be had that tame Fowl be 
not fed nigh Her fes, for oftentimes they fcatter 
their feathers among their meat, which breedeth 
difeafes in them. 
Id. Horfes and Sheep are liable to as many di- 
feafes as man is, wild Herfes being often troubled 
with the* Gout, and thofe that are kept up in the 
Stable with the Illack^ pajfion, the Cramp ; they 
fometimes are flopped in ttieir Ureters, fo that they 
make water with a great deal of difficulty ( which 
they will do with a great deal of eafe if they are 
brought to a place v;here there is Sheeps dung )
