  1 Intro|       kinds to the figures of the elements and their movements into
  2 Intro|      number. Many, if not all the elements of the Pre-Socratic philosophy
  3 Intro|        kind of system the various elements of philosophy which preceded
  4 Intro|        Plato and his age, and the elements of philosophy which entered
  5 Intro|        and the composition of the elements: (4) in the fourth section
  6 Intro|   composed of solids, between the elements of fire and earth God placed
  7 Intro|        earth God placed two other elements of air and water, and arranged
  8 Intro|          in the union of the four elements; and being at unity with
  9 Intro|           the framer. Each of the elements was taken into the universe
 10 Intro|         poured the remains of the elements into the cup in which he
 11 Intro|      reasserted her sway over the elements of fire, air, earth, water,
 12 Intro|      separate body out of all the elements, subject to influx and efflux,
 13 Intro|         them to be the letters or elements of the whole, although they
 14 Intro|      third kind, because the four elements themselves are of inexact
 15 Intro|     essence of fire and the other elements, or are there only fires
 16 Intro|         motion of the vessel, the elements were divided, and like grain
 17 Intro|         assume to be the original elements of fire and the other bodies;
 18 Intro|         these, fire and the other elements have been constructed.~I
 19 Intro|       imagining that all the four elements could be generated into
 20 Intro|         forms to their respective elements. The cube is the most stable
 21 Intro|      remaining forms to the other elements,—to fire the pyramid, to
 22 Intro|           particles of any of the elements are not seen by reason of
 23 Intro|          particles of the lighter elements, such as fire and air, are
 24 Intro|          rarity, and thus all the elements are on their way up and
 25 Intro|     struggle which arises between elements thus unnaturally brought
 26 Intro|           moving any of the upper elements towards the lower. The smooth
 27 Intro|  impossible to man.~These are the elements of necessity which the Creator
 28 Intro|          order or proportion. The elements of this chaos were arranged
 29 Intro|     terrifying the belly with the elements of bitterness and gall,
 30 Intro|           to produce all the four elements. These God took and mingled
 31 Intro|         phenomenon is as follows:—Elements move towards their natural
 32 Intro|    universal motion. The external elements by their attraction are
 33 Intro|         attracted towards kindred elements within the body and so fill
 34 Intro|           or disproportion of the elements out of which the body is
 35 Intro|          heated and cooled by the elements which enter in, or is dried
 36 Intro|           and the dross and other elements which adhere to them are
 37 Intro|         substances; even the four elements were undefined; the fields
 38 Intro|       theory of one, two, or more elements. He would have seen the
 39 Intro|       body formed out of the four elements. The general meaning of
 40 Intro|        the material universe. The elements are moving in a disorderly
 41 Intro|       globe, and all the material elements were exhausted in the work
 42 Intro| expression of the relation of the elements, as in the former an image
 43 Intro|      introduced, not one, but two elements, air and water, which are
 44 Intro|        the ancients were the four elements, he was led to a more general
 45 Intro|         material out of which the elements are made, there is also
 46 Intro|    certain germs or traces of the elements. These Plato, like Empedocles,
 47 Intro|         the greater masses of the elements had an appointed place.
 48 Intro|        penetrate. They are called elements, but they are so far from
 49 Intro|        they are so far from being elements (Greek) or letters in the
 50 Intro|         first compounds. The real elements are two triangles, the rectangular
 51 Intro|          the surfaces of the four elements are constructed.~That there
 52 Intro|        number of their sides.~The elements are supposed to pass into
 53 Intro|          number of the conquering elements. The manner of the change
 54 Intro|     separation of portions of the elements from the masses in which
 55 Intro|          continue at all when the elements are settled in their places?
 56 Intro|       continually drawing similar elements to the same spot, still
 57 Intro|            Of the interchangeable elements, fire, the rarest, can only
 58 Intro|         No single particle of the elements is visible, but only the
 59 Intro|           of the relations of the elements seem to be the effect of
 60 Intro|         the attraction of similar elements to one another, but also (
 61 Intro|         the greater masses of the elements to have been already settled
 62 Intro|           differences between the elements to differences in geometrical
 63 Intro|         out of the remains of the elements which had been used in creating
 64 Intro|  conceived of as a whole, and the elements are formed into and out
 65 Intro|            flesh, sinews—like the elements out of which they are formed,
 66 Intro|           proportions of the four elements are disturbed, and the secondary
 67 Intro|         they are made of the same elements and therefore in the same
 68 Intro|     circulate in it. All the four elements entered into the original
 69 Intro|  correspond to the density of the elements. The spinal marrow, including
 70 Intro|             and consists of three elements—the light which is supposed
 71 Intro|          red colour. Out of these elements all other colours are derived.
 72 Intro|         were seeking their native elements. He did not remark that
 73 Intro|   substance consisting of several elements, which, as he might have
 74 Intro|           which all these various elements might have a place. But
 75 Intro|    thinker is uncertain. The four elements are taken from Empedocles;
 76 Intro|        the Neoplatonists. For the elements which he borrows from others
 77 Intro|       never clearly saw that both elements had an equal place in mind
 78 Intro|          partly arises out of the elements of opposing philosophies
 79 Intro|           balance between the two elements of it. The difficulty which
 80 Timae|       health, out of these divine elements deriving what was needful
 81 Timae|          reasons, and out of such elements which are in number four,
 82 Timae|         whole of each of the four elements; for the Creator compounded
 83 Timae|          her out of the following elements and on this wise: Out of
 84 Timae|       material. He took the three elements of the same, the other,
 85 Timae|         poured the remains of the elements, and mingled them in much
 86 Timae|     making up out of all the four elements each separate body, and
 87 Timae|         principles and letters or elements of the whole, when they
 88 Timae|     concerning fire and the other elements, and determine what each
 89 Timae|          what questions about the elements may be fairly raised?~In
 90 Timae|        Thus, then, as the several elements never present themselves
 91 Timae|     generation. That in which the elements severally grow up, and appear,
 92 Timae|           compounds or any of the elements from which these are derived,
 93 Timae|         again shook them; and the elements when moved were separated
 94 Timae|         manner, the four kinds or elements were then shaken by the
 95 Timae|         away from one another the elements most unlike, and forced
 96 Timae|           forced the most similar elements into close contact. Wherefore
 97 Timae|        Wherefore also the various elements had different places before
 98 Timae|         assume to be the original elements of fire and the other bodies;
 99 Timae|    proportionate and intermediate elements. And then we shall not be
100 Timae|          which fire and the other elements have been constructed, one
101 Timae|       imagining that all the four elements might be generated by and
102 Timae|         made up of 120 triangular elements, forming twelve solid angles,
103 Timae|           in idea, among the four elements.~To earth, then, let us
104 Timae|      third to water. Of all these elements, that which has the fewest
105 Timae|        just been saying about the elements or kinds, the most probable
106 Timae|        way. When one of the other elements is fastened upon by fire,
107 Timae|           are species of the four elements. Hence when they are mingled
108 Timae|         comprehended all the four elements, and this being circular
109 Timae|       being next in rarity of the elements; and the two other elements
110 Timae|       elements; and the two other elements in like manner penetrate
111 Timae|         unite the lesser, all the elements are borne up and down and
112 Timae|           perpetual motion of the elements in all time.~In the next
113 Timae|          which does not reach the elements or triangles; or if not
114 Timae|        follow regularly after the elements, let us presuppose the existence
115 Timae|         clinging to their kindred elements. But that which is smaller
116 Timae|           masses of the different elements hold opposite positions;
117 Timae|          operation.~These are the elements, thus of necessity then
118 Timae|        water, and the rest of the elements. All these the creator first
119 Timae|          its own structure.~These elements, therefore, God employed
120 Timae|         another. For the external elements which surround us are always
121 Timae|          of fire and of the other elements—the assumption by any of
122 Timae|          are composed of the four elements, and the blood, though after
123 Timae|         is produced in one of the elements by the loose consistency
124 Timae|         also cooled within by the elements which enter into it, and
