ground; the Mo/e is continually under ground> 
and cafteth up the earth, making himielf holes 
to be in .•* therefore we find fpeaking to this 
purpole , 
oculis captl fodere cuhilla talpit.. 
Some fay th^t the Mole cannot properly be cal- 
led an bec^ufe he wanteth his eyes, the 
infiraments of the chiefeB fenfe, and a living crea- 
ture is not fo without and therefore the 
Mole is no creature; it is plain, that they having 
been diffeaed, there have been holes found in their 
heads for eyes,& fo they do not want fight /^,but 
per accident , for they want not tht or gane of fight ‘ 
but becaufe they are continually under ground, 
which blindeth them;»4t»r^' hath given them a ve- 
ry quick heaping,and fo recompenfed them for the 
want of fight. The Mole fpoyls a great deal 
of corn that is layed up in Bams ; they alfo will 
eat RootSy Toads f Serpents, Their nofe refembleth 
a Sows fnom : they cannot live above ground an 
hour together.- their feet are like a hand. This 
may fitly refemble falfe-heartedjptdonsy who 
are afraid to come to the teft ; for, as darknefs is 
difperfed by the light of the Sun, fo is falfehood 
difcoyered by truth.
