GHAP. XXIV. 
Of the Ape. 
T His is a very known creature, very much like 
the Mon\(^j ; the Ape hath a large Tail^ but 
the Monks^ hath none at all j this being the only 
thing almoft wherein they differ.- this creature 
very much refembleth the Marmofetj which is like 
an very apifli, and never flaying long in one 
place efalias and Columhnsy two famous Afia~ 
tomiftsjtell us, that Gden had more skill in the ana- 
tomic of an , than ©f a Man. But now I fliall 
fpeak to the nature of an properly fo cal- 
led. 
1. Heis very like a manin feveral parts of his 
body ; he hath a very ill-favoured face, his nofe 
is almoft flat to his face, which is full of many 
wrinkles; his eares are movable; he liveth on 
the tops of Mountains and Trees, and in the holes 
of Rocks. 
2. As he is very like to man in feveral parts of 
his body, fo he doth ftrive to imitate mens afti- 
ons, but very foolilhly, and not at all like thofe 
actions which he feemeth to imitate ; he will learn 
any childilh adfion quickly, as to play upon the 
pipe ; fometimes he will aft the part of a Carter, 
at another time he will look a childs head, crack 
nuts, 8 (c. he will play with dogs and little children.
