As to the quantity and nature of the Oyl which they yield 
he thought, that the largeft fort of thefe Whales might afford 
feven or eight Tuns if well huftanded, although they had loft 
much this firft time, for want of a good Cooper, having brought 
home but eleven Tuns. The Cubbs, by his relation, do yield 
out little and that is but a kind of Jelly. That which the old 
ones render, doth candy, like Porks-Greafe, yet burneth very

fair as any Whey : but that which is boy led out of the Lean, in- 
terlaraed,becomes as hard as Tallow, (pattering in the burning ; 
and that which is made of the Cawl, refembleth Hoggs-greafe. 
One, but fcarce credible, quality of this Oyl, he affirms to be, 
that though it be boiling, yet one may run ones hand into it
