XV. Quomodo aquae cuncta terrena conglutinant
XV. Quomodo aquae cuncta terrena conglutinant
For all creatures are solidified by water, since it pours moisture into them, so that they neither grow, nor fall, nor are scattered; just as the soul shapes the body, because it animates the flesh with the warmth of the spirit and holds the flesh together as long as it remains in it.
Read the original Latin
Nam et omnes creaturas aquae solidant, quoniam humiditatem eis infun-* dunt, ita quod nec crescunt, nec decidunt, nec disperguntur; velut etiam anima corpus flrmat> quia cum calore spiraminis carnem vegetat, et carnem insimul compingit, quamdiu in illa manet.
