English: The fea-feather is like thofe feathers of birds, which are worn in hats for ornament, after they are trimmed and dreft for that purpofe. The fifhermen call them fea-pricks, for that one end of them refembleth the end of a man's yard, when the prepuce is drawn off it. As long as it is alive it fwel's, and becom's fomtimes bigger and fomtimes leffer; but dead, it becom's very flaccid and lank: it fhine's bright ob the night like a ftar. You may by this gather, that this which wee here exprefs is the Grape whereof Plinie mak's mention, becauf in the surface and upper part thereof it much refemble's a fair bunch of Grapes; it is fomwhat longifh, like a mis-fhapen club, and hang's upon a long ftalk. the inner parts are nothing but confufion, fomtimes diftinguifhed with little glandules, like that wee have here figured alone by it felf.
