§.2. Elucidations
Ætiology and History
Of the departure thus made from the abovementioned regular
Causes for the abandonment departure from of the regular and substitution of
course. What were the final, and in the mind of the originator in question
the three those any one of three adequate of
the efficient causes? Answer these three or at least some
of the one of them: nor is there, that one of them which would
