There is no sensible thing in all the world more worthy to be an image of god than the sun, which with its sensible light illumines first itself, and then all celestial and elementary bodies; so god first illumines himself with intellectual light, and then the celestial and other intelligences.

Knowing this body to be devoid of intelligence, I recall the Son of the Wind. Grant me strength, intelligence and wisdom, and remove my sorrows and short comings.
