Owle] The word is rendered by some, an Ostrich, which is a great bird of so heavy a body, that her wings will not beare her up in the ayre, and so they serve not for flying, though for flight or running fast on foote; the Hebrew is Daughter of the Owle: whereby the mother is not permitted to be eaten, but the rather prohibited; because the old is not so easily digested as the young.
the Night-bauke] That is, the Night-raven, which seeth to take his prey in the night: these Night-birds might be the rather forbidden, to mind Gods people to avoid deeds of darknesse, and to walke as children of light, Ephesians 5:11.
