CHAP. XV.
The way to have many Horse in your Country.
I Would however remember him who is desirous to settle and establish a good Mi∣litia in his Country, that to furnish it handsomly with Horse, he should do two things; one is, that he should distribute a certain number of good Stalions up and down, that the Country-men may breed, and drive a Trade with Foles and Colts, as you do in this Country with Calves and young Mules. The other is, that there might not want Chapmen for the Colts, I would oblige every man that keeps a Mule, to keep an Horse; and he that would keep but one thing for his Saddle, should be enjoyned to have it an Horse; besides, I would constrain every man that wore Cloth-clothes, to keep an Horse in his Stable.
This order was taken not long since by a Prince of our times, and succeeded so well, that in a short time he had a most excellent Cavalry. As to other things relating to Hor∣ses, I refer you to what has been said this day, and what has been practised of old.
