For, as I speak of the first of the four elements and their arrangement, he had power over fire, because he frequently tempered its heat. Even the weather obeyed his pleasure, because its assaults, that is, storms and hail, frequently stopped at his command. Water also appeared to be completely subject to his power: for Christ changed water into wine, and even gave water the power to cleanse the soul by a touch of his most pure flesh.
