Perfacile est animi ratione exsolvere nobis quare fulmineus multo penetralior ignis quam noster fluat e taedis terrestribus ortus; dicere enim possis caelestem fulminis ignem subtilem magis e parvis constare figuris atque ideo transire foramina quae nequit ignis noster hic e lignis ortus taedaque creatus.
It is very easy for us to explain by reasoning of the mind why the fire of lightning has a far more penetrating flow than our fire that arises from terrestrial torches; for you could say that lightning, the heavenly fire, is finer and made of smaller shapes, and therefore passes through openings through which this fire of ours, sprung from wood and made from a torch, cannot pass.
