Of the Foure Elements^ their ISIature and Pro- perties.
THere are foure Elementsand original Grounds of allCorpcreall things. Fire j Aire, Water j Earth, of which all Elemented inferiour Bodies are comprehended^ notby way of heaping up together, but by tranfmutation and uniqn, and when they aredeftroyed , they are refolvcd into Elements, for thercisnoneof the fenlible elements that is pure, but they are more or leffe mixed, and apt to be changed one into the other: even as earth becom* jng dirty, and being difTolved becomes water, and the fame being made thick and hard, becomes earth again 5 but being evaporated through heat, pafTedinto Aire, and that being kindled, pafTeth into Firejand this being extinguifhe;d, returns back again into Airejbut bemg cooled again after its bur- ning, becomes earth, or ftone, or fuiphur, and this is Manifefted by lightning; this faying ever teach- eth you.

Now every otic of tlie Elemmts hath two fpecial qualities, the formcrwhcreofitretains,as proper toi itfelf, in the other, as a means, it agrees with that Vrhich comes next after it, for fire is hot and dry, the earth dry and cold, the water cold and moift, the aire hot and moift, and fo after this manner- the Elements accord into two contrary qualities, are contrary one to the other, as Fire to Water, and Earth to Aire,moreover theElements are upon ano- ther account oppofite one to the other; Forfomc are heavy as Earth and water, aiid others are light as Aire and Fire.
Wherefore the KofieCntcians called the former paf- fives, but the latter aftives, AndyetDoftor Cnlpc^ "per my predeceflbur diftinguifhcth them after ano- ther manner^ and Alligncs to every of themthre^ qualities, viz. tothefirebrightneffe, thinnefleand motion, but to the Earthjdarkneffe, thicknefle and quietnefle, and according to thefc qualities, the Elements borrow their qualities from thefe, fothat the Aire receives two qualities of the Earth, dark- neffc and thicknefTc, and one of fire,t//25.
