 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.
