teach_v not_o that_o the_o world_n can_v be_v preserve_v without_o the_o four_o element_n but_o rather_o that_o every_o thing_n be_v preserve_v by_o that_o one_o element_n from_o whence_o it_o

the_o brightness_n of_o the_o firmament_n that_o do_v irradiat_v the_o world_n do_v not_o flow_v from_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n but_o from_o the_o mystery_n the_o earth_n bring_v throne_n samy_n
