and more full relation of two miraculous and monstrous
fishes :|bfirst discovered in Rainham Creek, and
afterwards pursued by fishermen up the river of Thames,
who with harping irons and fish-spears kill'd the biggest
of them at Gravesend, which after thousands of people had
view'd it, they hew'd in pieces and boyl'd in cauldrons
for the oyl. The other was taken and kill'd at Greenwich,
which being measured, was found to be one and twenty foot
in length, and sixteen foot over. And likewise a less than
either of these which was in company with them, which made
his escape from the fishermen, and got away to sea again.
This relation being attested by many thousands of eye-
witnesses, which have seen them both.
