[Sidenote: A horse-master buys wild colts and breeds them and breaks them in.] A Horse-mayster is he, that bieth wylde horses, or coltes, and bredeth theym, and selleth theym agayne wylde, or breaketh parte of them, and maketh theym tame, and than selleth them. A corser is he, that byeth 4 [Sidenote: A courser merely deals in them.] all rydden horses, and selleth them agayne. The horse-leche is he, that takethe vppon hym to cure and mende [Sidenote: A horse-leech cures their diseases.] all maner of diseases and soraunce that horses haue. And whan these three be mette, if ye hadde a potycarye 8 [Sidenote: Add to these an apothecary, and you have 4 rogues.] to make the fourthe, ye myghte haue suche foure, that it were harde to truste the best of them. It were also conuenyent to shew medicynes and remedyes for al these diseases and sorances; but it wolde be to longe a processe 12 at this tyme, for it wolde be as moche as halfe this boke. And I haue not the perfyte connynge, nor the experyence, to shewe medycynes and remedyes for [Sidenote: [Fol. 50_b_.]] theym all. And also the horse-leches wolde not be 16 content therwith, for it myghte fortune to hurte or hynder theyr occupation. 121. ¶ Of swyne. Nowe thou husbande, that haste bothe horses and mares, beastes and shepe: It were necessary also, that thou haue bothe swyne and bees; for it is an olde [Sidenote: Whoso hath sheep, swine and bees, shall surely thrive.] sayinge: he that hath bothe shepe, swyne, and bees, 4 slepe he, wake he, he maye thryue. And that sayenge is, bycause that they be those thinges that moste profyt riseth of in the shortest space, with least coste. Than se howe manye swyne thou art able to kepe; let them 8 [Sidenote: Have only boars and sows; no hogs.] be bores and sowes all, and no hogges. And if thou be able to rere vi pigges a yere, than let two of them be bores, and foure of them sowes, and so to contynue after the rate. For a bore will haue as lyttell kepynge 12 [Sidenote: A boar is better than a hog.] as a hogge, and is moche better than a hogge, and more meate on hym and is ready at all tymes to eate in the wynter season, and to be layde in souse. And a sowe, er she be able to kyl, shall bryng forth as many pyggs or 16 moo, as she is worth; and her bodye is neuer the worse, and wyll be as good baken as a hogge, and as lyttell [Sidenote: [Fol. 51.]] kepynge, but at suche tyme as she hath pygges. And if thy sowe haue moo pygges than thou wilt rere, sel them, 20 [Sidenote: Rear pigs in spring and early summer.] or eate them, & rere those pigges that come about lenten-time, specyally the begynnynge of somer, for they can-not be rered in winter, for cold, without great coste. 122. ==> Of bees.
