The(7) will and the energy of God is the effective and foreseeing cause of every time and place and age, and of every nature. The will is the reason ( logos ) of the intellectual soul, which [reason] is within us, inasmuch as it is the faculty belonging to it which is endowed with freedom of action. The will is the mind desiring [some object], and an appetite possessed of intelligence, yearning after that thing which is desired.
