28. THE WILL AND THE UNDERSTANDING.

MAN has two faculties which constitute his life: the one is called the Will, and the other the Understanding. These are distinct from each other, but so created as to form one; and when they are one, they are called The Mind. Wherefore they are the human mind; and the whole life of man is in them.
