life receives on account of his wrong actions once he has
left this world. For he goes always from bad to worse.
And so we will cease speaking of this for the moment and
will not talk of it any more. Seeing that we have discussed
at length one of the four elements, the earth, we now
speak of the second, ever-flowing water. After that we
will speak of air and then of fire, each in the proper order.
[rubric] How water flows on the earth [/rubric]
"Water" here is the deep sea,
which encircles the world. From this sea
come the rivers that flow on the earth, and run in their courses
in such a way that in the end they come back to the sea from which they
had started. In this way the sea is constantly circulating and
flowing. As it takes its course this way, since it is lighter than the earth
it keeps close to the earth but stays just above it. It divides
and separates the lands and expands through all the places
of the earth. It flows into the sea and expands through
the rivers, and rises out of the earth in various places and veins,
just as the blood of a man flows through

"Water" here is the deep sea,
which encircles the world. From this sea
come the rivers that flow on the earth, and run in their courses
in such a way that in the end they come back to the sea from which they
had started. In this way the sea is constantly circulating and
flowing, for just as water is lighter than the earth is,
so water is held closest just above the earth. It divides
and separates the lands and expands through all the places
of the earth. It flows into the sea and expands through
the rivers, and rises out of the earth in various places and veins,
