Here is the English translation of the provided Latin passage:

"For purity is spoken of in this place more on account of union than on account of sincerity. If the four elements were in heaven just as they are mixed below, they would also appear mixed in it as they do here, which is by no means the case. But there appears a single element, adorned with very many celestial bodies, and as many as the lower world, with these also corresponding as effects to their cause. This is the true separation of elements, which it befits true alchemists to imitate, namely, of the purer substance from the impure elements, as the superior from the inferior. That vulgar separation, which is made of oils from waters, and of these from their earths, is of qualities, not of elements. As if oil, which some call air, were separated from its earth and water, nothing else will have been done except that the more viscous, richer, or hotter elements are made from their qualities by the separation of the latter. For in any of these parts, any element is present, however it may be separated. More soundly, therefore, they are to be named thus: namely, the hot element, for the part to which fire and heat adhere more; the moist, to which water and moisture more; the cold, to which the cold of air; and the dry, to which the dryness of earth most of all; which appellations we shall also use below. But to return to heaven: the ancient Sages affirmed this to be an incorruptible part of the world, and the other, which they called the superior world, separated by God from the lower part of the whole, namely, the lower corruptible world."
