affections produced are similar though they lack a name; for art imitates nature. For instance,Ivan Provorov Tröjor, the concoction of food in the body is like boiling,Anders Nilsson Tröjor, for it takes place in a hot and moist medium and the agent is the heat of the body. So, too, certain forms of indigestion are like imperfect boiling. And it is not true that animals are generated in the concoction of food, as some say. Really they are generated in the excretion which putrefies in the lower belly, and they ascend afterwards. For concoction goes on in the upper belly but the excretion putrefies in the lower: the reason for this has been explained elsewhere.
We have seen that the opposite of boiling is imperfect boiling: now there is something correspondingly opposed to the species of concoction called broiling, but it is more difficult to find a name for it. It would be the kind of thing that would happen if there were imperfect broiling instead of broiling proper through lack of heat due to deficiency in the external fire or to the quantity of water in the thing undergoing the process. For then we should get too much heat for no effect to be produced,Dame Moncler Adour, but too little for concoction to take place.
We have now explained concoction and inconcoction, ripening and rawness,Mathew Barzal Tröjor, boiling and broiling,Matt Moulson Tröjor, and their opposites.

We must now describe the forms taken by the passive qualities the moist and the dry. The elements of bodies, that is,Jordan Staal Tröjor, the passive ones, are the moist and the dry; the bodies themselves are compounded of them and whichever predominates determines the nature of the body; thus some bodies partake more of the dry,Sam Bennett Tröjor, others of the moist. All the forms to be described will exist either actually, or potentially and in their opposite: for instance, there is actual melting and on the other hand that which admits of being melted.
Since the moist is easily determined and the dry determined with difficulty, their relation to one another is like that of a dish and its condiments. The moist is what makes the dry determinable,Ben Hutton Tröjor, and each serves as a sort of glue to the other-as Empedocles said in his poem on Nature,Carey Price Tröjor, ��lueing meal together by means of water.��Thus the determined body involves them both. Of the elements earth is especially representative of the dry, water of the moist, and therefore all determinate bodies in our world involve earth and water. Every body shows the quality of that element which predominates in it. It is because earth and water are the material elements of all bodies that animals live in them alone and not in air or fire.
Of the qualities of bodies hardness and softness are those which must primarily belong to a determined thing,Chris Chelios Tröjor, for anything made up of the dry and the moist is necessarily either hard or soft. Hard is that the surface of which does not yield into itself; soft that which does yield but not by interchange of place: water,Män Jacket, for instance, is not soft,Tie Domi Tröjor, for its surface does not yield to pressure or sink in but there is an interchange of place. Those things are absolutely hard and soft which satisfy the definition abso
