Indeed, the eyes of the wise see nature differently than common eyes. For example, the eyes of the common people see the Sun as being hot; the eyes of the Philosophers, on the contrary, see the Sun rather as being cold, but its motions are hot. Just as the Sun is the center among the spheres of the Planets and from this center of heaven it scatters heat downward by its motion, so in the center of the earth is the Sun of the earth, which by its perpetual motion drives heat or rays upward to the surface of the earth. This internal heat is much more effective than this elemental fire, but it is tempered by the earthly water, which from day to day penetrates the pores of the earth and cools it. Just as that invisible fire, acting as a central heat, would consume all things if water did not intervene, so the heat of the Sun would destroy all things without the mediating air. In the center of the earth is the central Sun, which by its own motion gives great heat that extends itself even to the surface of the earth.
