Est enim celum materiale, rationale, intellectuale & [super] substantiale.

ffour maner heuens wel I fynde
As clercus speken of conyngly,
the quych, qvil it is in my mynde,
declar I wil as lernet haue I.
The first is heuen made of mater
& seuen of þo þer ben I-wys,
As I bifore tolde ȝou her,
but hor names her writen is
In Latyn, wel as ȝe moun se,
but þe Englisch I wil leeue,
lest men presumptuose holden me
to put me firre þen I may preue.
