AHuna is a mōster of the see very glorisshe as Albert{us} saith / what it etethit tourneth to greas in his bo¦dy / it hathe no mawe but a bely / & that he filleth so full that he speweth it out a¦gayne / & that can he do lyghtely for he hath no necke / whan he is in peryi of dethe be other fisshes / than he onfacyo¦neth himselfe as roūde as a bowle wt¦drawynge his hede into his bely / whā he hathe than hounger / He dothe ete a parte of himselfe rather than ye other fisshes sholde ete him hole and all.
