bullet2 9 - Fig. Elements

The senses and the imagination depict the first elemental figure with ten cameras displaying the names of the elements. Surrounding this, a circle displays the terms for sixteen essences and properties of the elements, which are also shown in the second figure with its five circles, where the two inner circles each display all four elements, and each of the three outer circles contains all sixteen terms referring to the essences and properties of the elements: 

Igneity, Aereity, Aqueity, Terreity, Being, Form, Matter, Simplicity, Composition, Substance, Accident, Virtue, Operation, Interiority, Exteriority, Motion.

Through the alphabet,  the principles of the elements enter into the Common figure; and S. is similar to the elements, insofar as S. is described with sixteen terms denoting spiritual essences in the same way as the elements are described with sixteen terms denoting corporeal essences. Like the other figures, this figure should be made of revolving circles to form all its cameras. 

While the senses and imagination mix with the intellect in this way, the imagination and intellect leave the senses and rise above, as the imagination imagines and the intellect understands the universal figure of the elements, namely four things, properties or essences which are igneity, aereity, aqueity and terreity. Each essence's being has an active and passive nature, as all four together constitute a single chaotic body made of universal form and matter. In this body, other elemented bodies exist like fish in water or birds in the air. 

From this common body in which universal mixture and digestion proceed, and which fills all the space beneath the lunar sphere, issues the influence of four powers, namely the four elements as they retain the essence of their common body which consists of the said four things, properties or essences. And these four powers, or four elements, produce substantial beings in real species that  exist in the universality of nature containing all natural forms. 

And thus,  the imagination and intellect discourse through the sense data and describe the elemental figure universally with the sixteen above principles. Although the imagination partly fails to imagine all this, the intellect rises above the imagination by understanding that the four elements have form and matter that is not perceptible to the senses, since it understands that fire both gives and receives within substance as do the other elements, and that by doing this it produces an offspring, namely compound fire with a visible shape that can be sensed. But the part that cannot be received by the offspring from elemental homogeneity remains outside as simple fire, and the same applies to the other elements. 

As it understands these things, the intellect forms a universal intellectual concept of the elemental figure as said above, and from this it descends to particulars inasmuch as the universal concept is composed of particulars, given that the said common body is constituted and composed of the four essences as ingredients. And the four elements exist as powers and acts of the common body, while they exercise their acts in the supposites that they produce from themselves through generation and corruption. Thus, the four compound elements are acts of the four simple elements. 

When this figure is disposed in the intellect as stated above, the intellect investigates and makes judgments with its own statements and those of the elemental figure, while maintaining in itself, in the imagination and in the senses, a universal figure with its constituent particulars, which all stand together against any particular that contravenes the universal and particular dispositions governing this figure in the senses, imagination and intellect. 

As said above, the intellect perceives the shape and propositions of the elemental figure through the senses and imagination. Not only can it gain knowledge of natural operations, and give a knowledgeable response regarding any particular found in the universality of nature, and solve questions and disputes about natural things; but moreover, this figure is used jointly with the other figures to discover metaphors by comparing elemental nature with the other figures, to solve questions or adduce arguments with this Art, in which the elemental figure is most useful.
