For Aches. 
Our way (for they are very foveraign for Aches) is to 
make Mummy of them, that is, to fait them well, and dry 
them in an earthern pot well glazed in an Oven; or elfe 
(which is the better way) to burn them under ground for 
a day or two, then quarter them and flew them in a Tin 
Stewpan with a very little water. 
1 Nuttall (Manual, Water-Birds, p. 520) says that the young of the red- 
throated diver is called cobble in England. Our author elsewhere (Voyages, p. 
101) makes mention of the "wobble" and the "wilmote" (that is, guillemot) as 
distinct; but his wilmot was " a kind of teal."
