Of Ashes.

Burnt wood is like unto an Armies rout ,
Their Forms undone, lye scatter'd all about;
When Atomes sharp unbind the Flat, then all
Those Loose flat Atomes we do Ashes call .
 

Wood is made most of flat Atomes.

For several Forms are according to the Composure of Atomes, which Forms are undone still by the Strongest party.
