In many of our iourneys we founde Silkewormes faire and great, as big as our ordinary Walnuts.
Whereupon the King beganne very louingly to entreate both our Captaine and vs. And after these gentle intertainments we went ourselues into the woods, hoping there to discouer some singularities; where were great store of Mulberrie trees white and red, on the toppes whereof there was an infinite number of silkewormes.
Those strange and mysticall transmigrations that I have observed in Silkewormes, turn'd my Philosophy into Divinity.

As Browne himself reminds us, "a good cause needs not to be patron'd by a passion."
