Definition of "reflexion"

Now, I say, why Time should be so burthensome to such as these, or what should betray them to such infrugal Expences of it, I can give no account without making severe Reflexions on their Discretion.

1684, John Goodman, A Winter-Evening Conference between neighbours

He gets off the train, determined not to leave town after all. But a little further reflexion shows him the folly of such a course.
