Philosophers that opinioned the worlds destruction by fire, did never dreame of annihilation, which is beyond the power of sublunary causes; for the last and proper action of that element [fire] is but vitrification, or a reduction of a body into Glasse, and therefore some of our Chymicks factiously affirme; yea, and urge Scripture for it, that at the last fire all shall be crystallized and reverberated into Glasse, which is the utmost action of that element.
