Martins opinion and experience touching a Horsses Feuer.
THough Martin haue not seene so many seuerall kindes of feuers, to chance to Horsses, yet he confesseth that a Horsse will haue a feauer, and saith that you shal know it by these signes. For after the Horsse hath beene sicke two or three daies, if you looke on his tongue, you shall see it almost raw and scalt, with the heate that coms out of his body, and he wil shake and trem∣ble, [ 40] reele and stagger when his fit commeth, which fit wil keepe his due howers, both of comming and also of continuance, vnlesse you preuent it by putting the horsse into a heat, which would be done so soone as you see him begin to tremble, either by riding him, or tying vp his Legs, and by chasing him vp and downe in the stable, vntil he leaue shaking, and then let him be kept warm, and stand on the bit the space of two houres, that done, you may giue him some hay, by a little at once, and giue him warme water, with a litle ground mault twice a day, the space of three or foure daies, and once a day wash his tongue with Alom water, vineger, and Sage. But if you see that all this preuailes not, then purge him with this drinke, after that he hath fasted al one night. Take of Aloes one ounce, of Aga∣ricke halfe an ounce, of Lycoras and Annis seedes of each a dram, beaten to powder, and [ 50] let him drinke it with a quart of white wine lukewarme, and made sweet with a little Hony, in the morning fasting, and let him be chafed a little after it, and be kept warme, and suffe∣red to stand on the bit meatlesse two or three houres after, and he shall recouer his health againe quickly.
