of_o his_o dim_a sight_n in_o the_o water_n the_o head_n of_o this_o beast_n be_v very_o broad_a and_o his_o snout_n like_o a_o swine_n when_o he_o eat_v or_o bit_v he_o never_o move_v his_o nether_a

marinus_fw-la a_o crocodile_n of_o the_o sea_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o crocodile_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o rather_o some_o other_o monster_n like_o a_o crocodile_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o such_o peradventure_o albertus_n see_v and_o thereupon_o inconsiderate_o affirm_v that_o all_o crocodile_n move_v their_o under-chap_n except_o the_o teuchea_n but_o the_o learned_a vessalius_n prove_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o because_o that_o the_o neather-chap_n be_v so_o conjoin_v and_o fasten_v to_o the_o bone_n of_o the_o temple_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o to_o be_v move_v and_o therefore_o the_o crocodile_n only_o among_o all_o other_o live_v creature_n move_v the_o upper-chap_n and_o hold_v the_o underchap_n unmoveable_a the_o second_o wonder_n unto_o this_o be_v that_o the_o crocodile_n have_v no_o tongue_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o any_o appearance_n herodotus_n of_o a_o tongue_n but_o then_o the_o question_n be_v how_o it_o come_v to_o distinguish_v the_o sapour_n and_o taste_n of_o his_o meat_n whereunto_o aristotle_n answer_v that_o this_o crocodile_n be_v such_o a_o raven_a beast_n that_o his_o meat_n tarry_v not_o in_o his_o mouth_n but_o be_v carry_v

answer_v that_o most_o man_n be_v deceive_v herein_o for_o while_o they_o look_v for_o his_o tongue_n upon_o his_o neather-chap_n as_o it_o be_v in_o all_o other_o beast_n and_o find_v none_o they_o conclude_v he_o to_o want_v that_o part_n but_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o the_o tongue_n cleave_v to_o the_o movable_a part_n and_o as_o in_o other_o beast_n the_o neather-chap_n be_v the_o
