Locust] The Locust is of divers kinds, and of them the Grashopper is one, so that some for Grashopper read Locust; one sort of them is called Ophiomachus, of making warre with Serpents, whereof Aristotle maketh mention, de hist. Animal. 50: 9. 100: 6. and though to us the Locust or Grashopper be loathsome as for meate, yet in themselves, and to all they are not so, but serve for food to some people; as in India there be Locusts of three foot long, whereof the Natives use the legges being dried for sauce, Plin. lib. 11. ch. 29, &c. the Ethiopians, and Parthians, and some other people use them for meat, Aristot. hist. Animal. lib. 6. ch. 30. and with some, powdered Locusts is their onely food, Plin. lib. 6. ch. 30. And so doe many eat frogs and snailes, forbidden vers. 30. which afford so much good nourishment (being boyled in milke) as serves to repaire the decay of the body, made by a Cough and Consumption: and in some places Pismires are used for dainties, the different custome of Nations becoming a kind of law, for the different use of the creatures for mans sustenance; howsoever, though whatsoever God forbiddeth be not in it selfe unfit for meate; as we see by our use of the Swine, the Swan, and other creatures; yet nothing that God allowed was unwholesome to those to whom it was allowed. Besides, in divers Countries the kinds of creatures are so diverse, as that which is very good in some places, is scarce tolerable in others. Beetle] The Originall word Hhargol, is not found in any other place.
