     summary: If any now enquire of me what may the cause be of this admirable accident ( as there is nothing more ordinary or more naturall to every man then to enquire of the causes especially of things extraordinary ) I will answere that considering the circumstances of time , and place , and persons , which I had then to doe with , many causes seeme to have concurred for it .
