[1553] Lubbock, _Origin of Civilization_, p. 188. Similar
logic appears in the story of the origin of Goodwin Sands,
told by Bishop Latimer (in a sermon preached before Edward
VI). An old man, being asked what he thought was the cause

built there was no Sands, and therefore his opinion was that
the steeple was the cause of the Sands.
