If this be not to eat, swallow, devour men, blood and bones, then the fishes in the sea forbear it. Hear this ye oppressors! Be merciful: you will one day be glad of mercy. The yellings of the poor in the Country, are as loud as your roarings in the City. The Cups you drink, are full of those tears, that drop from affamished eyes, though you perceive it not. You laugh, when they lament: you feast, when they fast: you devour them, that do your service. God will one day set these things 1in order before you.

7. The sea is full of Monsters. Innumerable, and almost incredible are the relations of Travellers in this punctual demonstration. As of Estaurus, a fish chewing the cud like a beast: of the Manate, headed like an Ox: and of certain flying fishes, &c. And are there not in this world Men-monsters? I do not say of Gods making, but of their own marring.
