THE SEVEN PRIMARY MATERIALS OF THE WORLD.

1. The first, earth, from which are every corporeity and hardness, and every firm foundation;

2. The second, water, from which are all humour and freshness;

3. The third, air, from which are all respiration and motion;

4. The fourth, sun, from which are all heat and light;

5. The fifth, nwyvre, from which are all feeling, affection, and wantonness;

6. The sixth, the Holy Ghost, from Whom are all understanding, reason, awen, and sciences;

7. The seventh, God, from Whom are all life, strength, and support, for ever and ever.

And from these seven primary materials are every existence and animation; and may the whole be under God's regulation. Amen.

The Blue Bard of the Chair has said it.
