"The mind being every day informed, by the senses, of the alteration of those simple ideas it observes in things without, and taking notice how one comes to an end and ceases to be, and another begins to exist which was not before.."
This is the opening of the chapter about power. This is saying that the mind always feels different senses and they are always changing what you are thinking about. It says existing ideas can be replaced by new ideas. The ideas that are pre-existing still try to be known and out of these ideas there are the new ones that are trying to be understood by the mind.
