Question about second-order logic

I have a proposal for a new comprehension scheme for second order
logic:

Let w be an arbitrary equivalence relation (by which I do not mean a
second-order entity, since then this comprehension scheme would be
circular.  Instead, I mean a wff with two free variables that is
reflexive, transitive, and symmetric).  Then for all x, there exists an
F such that for all y, Fy iff w(x,y).

How does this comprehension schema compare with the regular
comprehension schema of second-order logic?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You in Advance.
