When in the Knee.

If it be in the Knee, you may find it by his stiff going, for he will not bend it so nimbly as he doth the other. If it be in the Shank or Shin∣bone, you may see it, and likewise feel the same, it being then a Back-Si∣new strain, Splint, or some such like Sorrance or Annoyance If it be in the bending of the Knee, then it is a Mallender, which is also easily descried; when it is in the Pastern or Joynt, then you may know it by his not bending it so well as the other; besides, if you put your Hand upon the place, you shall find it very hot; if it be in the Foot, it must be either in the Cronet or in the Sole; if in the Cronet it is probable it came by some strain or wrench; if in the Heel, then it came by some over-reach, or else by some Disease in or about the Frush; If in the Sole, then it came by some Prick, Accloy, Retoire, Nail, Stub, Stone or Gravel. And thus I have shewed unto you the several ways that cause a Horse to be Lame be∣fore, and how to know and distinguish the places grieved, together with the occasion of every particular Grief.
