- 39:6The word ‘cogitationibus’ is plural and refers to thoughts, perceptions, things that are understood, and/or intentions. The word ‘cognitions’ expresses nearly the same range of meanings as ‘cogitationibus,’ but the English word is more obscure. Sometimes an obscure word that more fully expresses the meaning is a better choice than a common easily understood word that expresses less of the meaning.(Conte)
