Sir 17:5

“"Counsel and a tongue and eyes and ears and a heart He gave them for thinking, and He filled them with the discipline of understanding." He gives us to understand that the human soul has three operations, by which it turns itself upon its own body, upon itself, and toward divine things. That this understanding is partly from the dictate of nature is evident in Adam, because he imposed names upon all things. But that God "filled him with the discipline of understanding," this was his privilege; hence it is not in us. But our soul has signed upon it a certain light of nature, through which it is apt for knowing first principles; but that alone does not suffice, because, according to the Philosopher, "we know principles insofar as we know terms." For when I know what a whole is, what a part is, I immediately know that "every whole is greater than its part."”
