Ribbs.

By a resemblance that the timbers (that is the Futtocks of the ships have when the Plancks are off to the ribbs of a dead carkasle, we) doe in that kind, call all those timbers by a generall appellation, the ribbs of the ship, though otherwise they have particular names: As if two ships in a sea-gate, lie a-boord one an other, and hath broke with her weight some of the others futtock timbers, they will say, she hath broke some of her ribbs: Also those little long wooden peeces which are made with holes like the Combe under the beake-head, and doe be∣long to the Parrells of the yards, are called the Ribbs of the Patrells.
