CHAP. 179. Of other fishes much used though not so wholesome.
Among all fishes that bee pleasant in taste and not wholesome, the Eeles are most in use,* 1.1 which as they bee engendred of the very earth, dirt or myre without generation, or spaune, so bee they of a slimy substance, clammy and greatly stopping, whereby they are noysome to the voyce, as it is recorded in Scho. Sal. in these words: Vocibus anguillae pravae sunt si comedantur.* 1.2 Also they are ill for such as bee given to the stone: for their sliminesse will cause the gravell sooner to congeale, and gather to a stone, and they dis∣pose a man to the gout, breeding such like matter as bringeth paine of the joynts. Wherefore Arnoldus saith prettily upon the said verse: Inique natura fecisse vide∣tur, quae tam suavem refutandis expuendis{que} piscibus indi∣derit saporem.
