¶ De celo ⁊ elementis

ſicut ignis in ſphera ſua mouet̉ motu celi:ſic etiā angelus ad ꝑagēda miniſteria mouet̉ motu volūtatis dei: vn̄ Psͣ. cij. Benedicite dn̄o oēs virtutes eius: miniſtri eiꝰqui facitis volūtatē eiꝰ. Et quātū ad hācobediētiā miniſterioꝝ inueniunt̉ angeli ⁊ſi nō ex natura ſua: tamē ex dei ꝓuidentiaſemper mouentes ⁊ ſemꝑ moti. Mouēt eīorbes angeli ẜm ph̓os motū ſempiternoet ſic ſūt ſemꝑ mouētes. ſed qꝛ hoc faciuntdiuine volūtatꝭ imperio qd̓ ſemꝑ exequūtur iō ſūt quodāmodo ſemꝑ moti eo modo quo ille cuius imperio aliquid fit dicitur eſſe mouēs ad illud. ¶ Sexto oſtenditignis excellentiā angelorū quo ad diſparentiā viſualem. Dicit enim Diony. v. ca.libri celeſtis hierarchie ẜꝫ antiquiorē trāſlationē ꝙ ignis eſt reſiliens quod poteſtintelligi tripliciter. Vno modo reſiliens aloco infimo. Uidemus enī ꝙ flāma ignisin candela ſi aliquis inclinet eā deorſū ſtatim reſilit ⁊ flectitur ſurſum ſcꝫ verſus locum ſuū naturalē qui eſt ſurſum. Sic etiāangeli licet quandoqꝫ miniſtrando deſcēdunt ⁊ viſibiliter interdū appareāt: completis autē miniſterijs diſparent ⁊ ad ſūma reſilire ſiue redire dicunt̉. Vnde angelus Raphael expleto mīſterio dixit Tobie ⁊ filio ſuo: Tēpus ē vt reuertar ad eūqui memiſit. Vos aūt benedicite dn̄ꝫ ⁊cͣ.To. xij. Et cū hoc dixiſſet ablatus ē a cōſpectu eorū To xij. Alio mō poteſt intelligi ꝙ ignis reſilit̓ a corꝑe mixto. Elementa enī ſūt in corꝑe mixto ẜm eſſe primū .i.ẜm ſuas formas ſubſtantiales: ſed nō ẜmeſſe ẜm ſcꝫ ſuaꝝ qͣlitatū ītēſaꝝ: qꝛ reducteſūt ad mediū. Sed etiā neceſſe ē qn̄qꝫ ip̄mmixtū diſſolui ⁊ reſolui in elemēta: ⁊ tuncvnumqd̓qꝫ elemētum redit in ſuam naturam ⁊ locum: ⁊ ſic ignis dicit̉ reſilire ſcꝫa corpore mixto vt quidā expoſitores volunt. Alij tamē nō conſentiūt ꝙ elementaſint in mixto actu .ſ. ẜm formas ſubſtātiales ſed virtute tm̄ ⁊ tunc ē tertia expoſitioꝙ ignis reſilit ſcꝫ a cōbuſtibili apprehēſo.Nā materia qua app̄hendit vſqꝫ ad eiusꝯſumptionē nō deſerit nec app̄hēdit̉ duꝫapp̄hendit ſꝫ ꝯſūpto eo in qd̓ agit in ſe reſilit: ⁊ ita dicit̉ reſiliēs. Sicut ergo ignisẜm primā expoſitionē reſilit a corpore mixto cōpleto ſue duratiōis periodo: ita etiāangelus reſilit vel recedit a corꝑe aſſum-

pto completo ſuo officio: ⁊ tūc ip̄m corpꝰredit in ſuum principiū: ſic etiā ip̄m mixtūredit in elemēta. Nō aūt hanc ſil̓itudineꝫſic aſſigno vt dicere velim ſic intelligēdoꝙ angelꝰ miſceat̉ corꝑi aſſumpto ſic̄ igniscōmiſcet̉ elemētis alijs in mixtione: neqꝫꝙ reſolutio corꝑis aſſumpti fiat in angelum ſicut reſolutio mixti ī ignē ⁊ ī alia elemēta: ſꝫ ꝙ ip̄e angelus remanet ꝑ ſe dimiſſo corpore aſſūpto: ſicut ſi ignis ꝑ ſe remaneret terminata reſolutiōe mixti. Sed ẜmaliā expoſitionē ignis reſilit a cōbuſtibilinō qꝛ cōprehendit̉ ſꝫ potius cōprehenditip̄m. ⁊ ſic etiā angelus dicit̉ reſilire a locoin quo ē vel vbi oꝑat̉: nō qꝛ ꝯtinet̉ vel includitur a loco ſꝫ potius ip̄e ꝯtinet locuꝫ.Nā ꝯtineri ⁊ includi a loco cōpetit corꝑilocato ꝓut ē quantū quātitate dimēſiua.que angelo nō congruit cū ſit incorporeꝰ:ſꝫ eſt in eo quātitas virtualis cuiꝰ applicationē ad aliquē locū dicit̉ eſſe in eo. Sꝫtn̄ ſubſtātia incorꝑea ſua virtute ꝯtingēsrem corporeā ꝯtinet ip̄am ⁊ nō ꝯtinet̉ abea. Ania eī ē in corꝑe vt ꝯtinēs nō vt contenta.
