AC 5077 [3, 4]
That sensuous which is especially subject
to the intellectual part is the sight;
that which is subject
to the intellectual part and secondarily to the will part
is the hearing;
that which is subject to both together
is the sense of smell,
and still more the taste;
but that which is subject to the will part
is the touch.
And be it known further
that all the truths which are said to be of faith
pertain to the intellectual part;
and that all the goods which are of love and charity
are of the will part.
Consequently it belongs to the intellectual part
to believe, to acknowledge, to know, and to see
truth and also good,
but to the will part to be affected with and to love these;
and that which a person
is affected with and loves, is good.
