And know that above the fire is first the moon, and the other stars, which are all of the nature of fire.” ↩

• In the language of the Scholastics, Form was the passing from the potential to the actual. “Whatever is Act,” says Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica , Quaest. LXVI Art. 1, “whatever is Act is Form; quod est actus est forma .” And again Form was divided into Substantial Form, which caused a thing to be; and Accidental Form, which caused it to be in a certain way, “as heat makes its subject not simply to be, but to be hot.” “The soul,” says the same Angelic Doctor, Quaest. LXXVI Art. 4, “is the substantial form of man; anima est forma substantialis hominis .” It is segregate or distinct from matter, though united with it. ↩
