1647 Bp. J. Taylor Θεολογία Ἐκλεκτική xiv. 204 The more present and circumstantionable it is made, the more operative it is upon our spirits. [So first ed.: 1657 and later edd. have circumstantiate; Eden refers to a reading circumstantionate, and Worcester's circumstantiable seems to be another variant.]
