A large engraving by Matthäus Merian displays a variety of cosmic phenomena influencing weather events on earth and their effect on human beings. This engraving shows the [[hierarchy of angels]] with each choir's leader, but also includes a tenth "choir" of the soul in the sphere of the elements. This choir is ruled over by the Soul of [[Jesus Christ]].

In categorizing good and bad forms of weather, Fludd states it is better to be scourged as a brief punishment than to be damned. He then assigns specific [[bible]] verses to specific events (for example, the wind is annotated with Exodus 15).
On a separate diagram, Fludd demonstrates principles of the [[Kabbalah]], demonstrating that everything in heaven, in the skies, and on earth was created by [[Yahweh|Jehovah]]. The diagram includes the statement "I saw Jehovah sitting on the highest throne above the worldly palace lifted up like that palace was the full glory of the builder."
