Misfortune, Injustice: On Being Disadvantaged (The Idea of Fish)

Both Men and Women in thofe Iflands and in the neighbouring main Land, affirm that the Increafe of Milk is likewife taken away by Trouts; if it happen that the Difhes or Pales wherein the Milk is kept, be wafh’d in the Rivulets where Trouts are.

Seems to suggest a relationship between land and sea.  Fish here seem to be determining the good fortune or misfortune of the human population.

Fate of people and fish appears interconnected.
