Satisfactory, adj. Bacon uses this word on three occasions in a sense 
which, so far as I am aware, has not been noticed in the dictionaries. 
‘These satisfactory and specious causes’ (p. 119, 1. 5); ‘by way of 
argument or satisfactory reason’ (p. 153, 1. 16); ‘more satisfactory than 
substantial’ (p. 260, 1.7). See also p. 30, 1. 26. From these instances it 
appears that an explanation is satisfactory which merely stops the mouth 
of the inquirer, and, as Bacon says of Mirabilaries, gives ‘ contentment to 
the appetite of curious and vain wits’ (p. 87). Again, in the same spirit 
he speaks of the methods of tradition of knowledge in his time; ‘he that 
receiveth knowledge desireth rather present satisfaction, than expectant 
inquiry: and so rather not to doubt, than not to err’ (p. 171). Compare 
the use of ‘ satisfy,’ p. 172, 1. 33.
