The Idea
of
Perception,
and Idea
of Willing,
we have from
Reflection.
§2. The two great and principal Actions of the Mind, which are
most frequently considered, and which are so frequent, that every
one that pleases, may
take notice of ’em in himself, are these two:
Perception, or Thinking, and
Volition, or Willing.
The Power of
Thinking is called the
Understanding, and the Power of
Volition
is called the
Will, and these two Powers or Abilities in the
Mind are denominated
Faculties. Of some of the Modes of these
simple
Ideas of Reflection, such as are
Remembrance,
Discerning,
Reasoning,
Judging,
Knowledge,
Faith, etc. I shall have occasion
to
speak hereafter.
