the Crevis is chiefe of them. For it is very nourish∣ing, and doth not lightly corrupt in the stomacke. Yet is it hard of digestion, as Arnoldus saith upon Scho. Sal.* 1.1 The Crab, the Lobster, and the Shrimpe are of the same nature. At Oxford (as I remember) upon festivall dayes, they are wont to eat Crevices, last after flesh. And commonly at great feasts in London and elsewhere, they use to serve up sturgeon last, as it were to make up the mouth. And this they name a feast royall.
