60. Be apprised then that what hath been primarily related from the tradition of
the Ancients regarding the realm of creation consisteth of four elements which are
fire, air, water, and earth, just as ye hath heard aforetime and which ye heareth
again today. Consequently four elemental qualities hath appeared, which are heat,
moisture, coldness, frigidity, and dryness, just as ye deduce and acknowledge. When
ye mix and match them, there appeareth two basic elemental qualities. For instance,
for fire there appeareth heat and dryness. Likewise recognize this fundamental
principle in each of the remaining three elements, by virtue of which hath God
created all that existeth within the realm of creation, whether celestial or terrestrial.
All of that which can naturally balance itself remaineth for a considerable amount of
time, just as ye observe in the sun and the moon; whereas that which doth not
naturally balance itself terminateth itself rather quickly, just as ye envisage within
the nature of the terrestrial realm.
