AMong shell fishes may bee numbred these also which follow. Howbeit Galen calleth them Cru∣stata and not Testacea, but the name is not materiall, and
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. But this kinde of service is dispraised by Arnoldus in the same Chapter,* 1.2 where hee saith, that fish and flesh together should not be eaten▪ nor fish and white meat, nor fish should not bee eaten after other meates.
