I tried this recipe too, and came to the same conclusion. It has too much oil.

Some historical context seems to be missing here, or Locke must have been an Epicurean.

I don't know how wealthy Locke was, but people generally ate less back then cause food was less readily available. Meat was more of a special occasion rather than everyday staple like it is for a lot of Europeans today.

Btw French Omelette has also a ridiculous amount of butter in it. I think 2 eggs and 120g of butter.
