Of Cloying.

[ 30] CLoying is the pricking of a whole naile called of the Italians Inchiodatura, passinge through the quicke, and remaining stil in the same, and is clenched as other nailes be, and so causeth the horse to halt. The greeued place is knowne, by searching with the hammer and pinsons, as is before said: If the horse halt immediately, then pul off his shooe, and open the hole, vntil it begin to bleed, and stop it with the ointment aforesaid, in the same page of the Retreat, and clap on the shooe againe, and the hooue may be so good, and the harme so little, as you may trauel him immediately vppon it: but if it bee ranckled, then renew the stopping euery day once, let him come in no wet, vntil it bee whole.
