quippe ubi sol nudum contractans corpus aquai non quierit calidum supera de reddere parte, cum superum lumen tanto fervore fruatur, qui queat hic subter tam crasso corpore terram percoquere umorem et calido satiare vapore? praesertim cum vix possit per saepta domorum insinuare suum radiis ardentibus aestum.
For when the sun, acting upon the exposed body of water, was unable to make it hot on its upper part, although his light above is possessed of heat so great, how could he when under so gross a body of earth boil the water through the earth and soak it with warming heat? Especially when he can scarcely make his warmth pass through the walls of a house for all his burning rays.
