when the Airis moifi: and thick, and whence a-rife 
gfeac Dew^ which make the Grafs white like Froft, 
that fo turns the Stomachs of Sheep and Cows, that 
they win not feed till the Sun hath exhal’d the Moi- 
fture, unlefs they be very hungry, and then ’tis bad 
for them ; yet then Horfes will feed as cordially as at 
other times, without hurt : And we find that often 
People turn difeas’u Horfes out all Winter to graze, 
and give ’em no Hay, &c. which often cures ’em. It 
is from their great Heat that they eat more than 
Cows, who are almofl as large bodied: Therefore 
learn firft to know their Nature and Temperature, 
and you’ll foon find a Cure for their Diftempecs. 
Te prevent Surfeits and other Difeafes, 
Drive your Horfes, or ride^em, moderately in the 
Morning, for they generally eat moft part of their 
Food in the Night towards Morning, and drink free- 
ly, which does in Tome kind indifppfe ’em for Labour, 
for a full Stomach hinders Motion, fo that Nature 
cannot bear two burthens at once. Exercife is alfo 
dangerous if violent, efpecially on full Stomachs, ei- 
ther in Man or Beaft: Let a Man eat plentifully in 
a morning, and he will be much indifpos’d the firft 
part of that Day^nd be faint; fo are almoft all other 
Creatures. This ought to be minded by all Riders 
and Drivers of, Horfes, that they lay no heavier Bur- 
thens on ’em than they can well bear; conlidering 
with themfelves what they coulddo in this cafe; fo 
that in this, and other matters, they will be capable 
to rule, order, and manage their Cattle to advan- 
tage ; for in Man is contain’d the true Nature of all 
things. If he would know eOTentially any thing, firft 
let the fame be manifefted in himfelf, and then this 
Knowledge is true, folid, and certain; but Know- 
ledge that depends on Cuftom, Chance, Tradition, 
or the like, is not a Man’s own, therefore no great 
Dependance can be upon it.
