Sea-fowle not eatable, are Ganets, Ospray (Plynyes Haliaeetos.)
Amongst which, Iacke-Daw (the second slaunder of our Countrie) shall
passe for companie, as frequenting their haunt, though not their diet:
I meane not the common Daw, but one peculiar to Cornwall, and
therethrough termed a Cornish Chough: his bil is sharpe, long,
and red, his legs of the same colour, his feathers blacke,
his conditions, when he is kept tame, vngratious, in filching,
and hiding of money, and such short ends, and somewhat dangerous in
carrying stickes of fire.
After hauing marched ouer the land, and waded thorow the Sea, to
discouer all the creatures therein insensible, & sensible, the course
of method summoneth me to discourse of the reasonable, to wit,
the Inhabitants, and to plot downe whatsoeuer, noteworthily,
belongeth to their estate, reall, and personall, and to their
gouernment, spirituall, and temporall. Vnder their reall state,
I comprise all that their industrie hath procured, either for
priuate vse, or entercourse, and traffike.
