this_o proportion_n have_v they_o find_v out_o the_o harmony_n of_o the_o element_n and_o show_v that_o though_o the_o fire_n be_v sharp_a subtle_a and_o mooveable_a the_o air_n subtle_a mooveable_a and_o moist_a the_o water_n mooveable_a moist_a and_o corporal_a the_o earth_n corporal_a immooveable_a and_o dry_a yet_o be_v there_o a_o certain_a accord_n and_o union_n between_o they_o because_o that_o betwixt_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o earth_n the_o air_n and_o water_n have_v be_v place_v by_o such_o a_o covenant_n that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o respect_n betwixt_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o

the_o water_n towards_o the_o air_n and_o the_o air_n towards_o the_o fire_n in_o correspondency_n of_o quality_n and_o harmonious_a contrariety_n wherefore_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o harmony_n

themselves_o with_o very_o great_a and_o friendly_a concord_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o none_o can_v induce_v a_o goodly_a reason_n why_o the_o water_n do_v not_o overflow_v the_o earth_n be_v
