1477. But it is to be observed that the ideas of such things are fuller with one than with another, according to his cognitions of truths, for the more the cognitions increase, the more do the ideas also. This can be manifest to everyone. Take faith, for example: in its complex it contains all things both celestial and spiritual; thus the more cognitions any one has of the many things pertaining to faith, the fuller will be his idea of it.
