7848.“房屋上”表那些构成良善意愿的事物或欲望。这从“房屋”的含义清楚可知，“房屋”是指一个人（参看3128节），也指人的心智（3538，4973，5023，7353节），因而是指构成意愿的东西，在此是指构成良善意愿的东西。“房屋”之所以也表示意愿，是因为它表示人，人之所以为人主要是由于他的意愿。再者，无论是说一个人，还是说他的心智，意思都一样。因为人之所以为人，不是由于他的肉体形式，而是由于他的心智；人的心智如何，人就如何；也就是说，人的理解力和意愿如何，尤其他的意愿如何，人就如何。

7848. Upon the houses. That this signifies those things which are of the will of good, is evident from the signification of a "house," as being a man (see n. 3128), and as being the mind of man (n. 3538, 4973, 5023, 7353), consequently that which is of the will, here that which is of the will of good. The reason why by a "house" is also signified the will, is that by it is signified man, and man is man chiefly from his will. Moreover, whether we speak of man, or of his mind, it is the same; for man is not man from the form of his body, but from his mind; and man is such as his mind is, that is, such as his understanding and will are, especially such as his will is.
Elliott(1983-1999) 7848
7848. 'On the houses' means the desires composing a will that seeks what is good. This is clear from the meaning of 'house' as a person, dealt with in 3128, and as the human mind, 3538, 4973, 5023, 7353, consequently that which composes the will, at this point that which composes a will seeking what is good. The reason why 'house' also means the will is that a person is meant by it, and a person is a person primarily by virtue of what he wills. Furthermore, whether you say a person or his mind it amounts to the same thing. For a person is not a person by virtue of his physical body but by virtue of his mind; and what his mind is like - that is, what his understanding and will are like, primarily what his will is like - determine what kind of person he is.

7848. `Super domibus': quod significet illa quae voluntatis boni sunt, constat ex significatione `domus' quod sit homo, de qua n. 3128, quodque sit mens hominis, n. 3538, 4973, 5023, 7353, consequenter id quod est voluntatis, hic quod voluntatis boni; causa quod per `domum' etiam significetur voluntas, est quia per eam significatur homo, et homo est homo imprimis ex velle suo; praeterea sive dicas hominem sive mentem ejus, idem est; homo enim non est homo ex forma corporis sui, sed ex mente sua, et homo est talis homo qualis est ejus mens, {1}hoc est, qualis ejus intellectus et voluntas, praecipue qualis voluntas. @1 cumprimis qualis est voluntas illius$
