and he is daūgerous & ennemye to all fisshes / for he chaseth the fisshes in the see as the hoūdes dothe the bestes on ye londe where as he hathe power ouer / for he driueth them into a narowe cor¦ner of the water & there he byteth thē perillously / & somtyme the fishers per¦ceyue it & they set nettis roūde about him & so take him. Auicēna saith that asmoche as a mustarde sede of his gal is so venymous that if a man ete it / it shold sle him in a se night / sethe butter of a kowe with Romayne gencyan / & it shall helpe him.
