251 Intro|             No single particle of the elements is visible, but only the
252 Intro|               of the relations of the elements seem to be the effect of
253 Intro|             the attraction of similar elements to one another, but also (
254 Intro|             the greater masses of the elements to have been already settled
255 Intro|               differences between the elements to differences in geometrical
256 Intro|             out of the remains of the elements which had been used in creating
257 Intro|      conceived of as a whole, and the elements are formed into and out
258 Intro|                flesh, sinews—like the elements out of which they are formed,
259 Intro|               proportions of the four elements are disturbed, and the secondary
260 Intro|             they are made of the same elements and therefore in the same
261 Intro|         circulate in it. All the four elements entered into the original
262 Intro|      correspond to the density of the elements. The spinal marrow, including
263 Intro|                 and consists of three elements—the light which is supposed
264 Intro|              red colour. Out of these elements all other colours are derived.
265 Intro|             were seeking their native elements. He did not remark that
266 Intro|       substance consisting of several elements, which, as he might have
267 Intro|               which all these various elements might have a place. But
268 Intro|        thinker is uncertain. The four elements are taken from Empedocles;
269 Intro|            the Neoplatonists. For the elements which he borrows from others
270 Intro|           never clearly saw that both elements had an equal place in mind
271 Intro|              partly arises out of the elements of opposing philosophies
272 Intro|               balance between the two elements of it. The difficulty which
273 Text |           health, out of these divine elements deriving what was needful
274 Text |              reasons, and out of such elements which are in number four,
275 Text |             whole of each of the four elements; for the Creator compounded
276 Text |              her out of the following elements and on this wise: Out of
277 Text |           material. He took the three elements of the same, the other,
278 Text |             poured the remains of the elements, and mingled them in much
279 Text |         making up out of all the four elements each separate body, and
280 Text |             principles and letters or elements of the whole, when they
281 Text |         concerning fire and the other elements, and determine what each
282 Text |              what questions about the elements may be fairly raised?~In
283 Text |            Thus, then, as the several elements never present themselves
284 Text |         generation. That in which the elements severally grow up, and appear,
285 Text |               compounds or any of the elements from which these are derived,
286 Text |             again shook them; and the elements when moved were separated
287 Text |             manner, the four kinds or elements were then shaken by the
288 Text |             away from one another the elements most unlike, and forced
289 Text |               forced the most similar elements into close contact. Wherefore
290 Text |            Wherefore also the various elements had different places before
291 Text |             assume to be the original elements of fire and the other bodies;
292 Text |        proportionate and intermediate elements. And then we shall not be
293 Text |              which fire and the other elements have been constructed, one
294 Text |           imagining that all the four elements might be generated by and
295 Text |             made up of 120 triangular elements, forming twelve solid angles,
296 Text |               in idea, among the four elements.~To earth, then, let us
297 Text |          third to water. Of all these elements, that which has the fewest
298 Text |            just been saying about the elements or kinds, the most probable
299 Text |            way. When one of the other elements is fastened upon by fire,
300 Text |               are species of the four elements. Hence when they are mingled
301 Text |             comprehended all the four elements, and this being circular
302 Text |           being next in rarity of the elements; and the two other elements
303 Text |           elements; and the two other elements in like manner penetrate
304 Text |             unite the lesser, all the elements are borne up and down and
305 Text |               perpetual motion of the elements in all time.~In the next
306 Text |              which does not reach the elements or triangles; or if not
307 Text |            follow regularly after the elements, let us presuppose the existence
308 Text |             clinging to their kindred elements. But that which is smaller
309 Text |               masses of the different elements hold opposite positions;
310 Text |              operation.~These are the elements, thus of necessity then
311 Text |            water, and the rest of the elements. All these the creator first
312 Text |              its own structure.~These elements, therefore, God employed
313 Text |             another. For the external elements which surround us are always
314 Text |              of fire and of the other elements—the assumption by any of
315 Text |              are composed of the four elements, and the blood, though after
316 Text |             is produced in one of the elements by the loose consistency
317 Text |             also cooled within by the elements which enter into it, and
