The Summary of Physics Restored

3The eternal parent of things, no less wise in ordering than powerful in creating, arranged the world's organised mass in so splendid an order that the highest things are mingled with the lowest, and the lowest with the highest, without confusion, and resemble one another through a certain analogy. Thus the extremes of the entire fabric adhere most closely to one another through imperceptible intermediaries, bound by a secret connection. All things willingly agree in obedience to the supreme governor and for the benefit of lower nature; they will allow themselves to be dissolved only at the nod of him who bound them together. Hermes therefore rightly affirmed that what is below is like what is above.
