 eaten of feeble persons hauing an ague, or other sicknesse. These fish delight to be

 small trauell, in remouing the stones where they lie vnder, for they cannot swim 

 fast away. Therefore in certaine shallow riuers and brookes, they do vse to breede,

 places of the saide riuers and brookes, halfe a foote de'epe of water or lesse. Like 

 as there is a shallow riuer running from Barcamstede to Chestum, and so to Chaue : 

 also by Croydon and other places, wherein they might breede of the saide fish 

 great store, if they were so giuen. The like riuer runnes in Hampeshiere by sides
