Job41:19
19. Out of his mouth go burning Lamps , and sparks of fire leap out.
i. e. His breathings and blowings are very hot, or flaming, as the following Verses explains this. This also may seem better to agree to the Crocodile, which breaths (as Aristotle affirms) like the Hippopotamus, of which ancient Authors affirm, that his Noshils are very large, and he breaths forth a siery smoak like that of a Forna[illegible: 1+ letters], than to the Whale, which rather casts forth streams of Water, as was noted before, than flames of Fire, there being no such great heat observed in Whales, nor as far as I know, in any other fishes.
