Leviathan

CHAPTER VII
1/5

.

OF THE ENDS OR RESOLUTIONS OF DISCOURSE.
Of all Discourse, governed by desire of Knowledge, there is at last an End, either by attaining, or by giving over.

And in the chain of Discourse, wheresoever it be interrupted, there is an End for that time.
Judgement, or Sentence Final; Doubt If the Discourse be meerly Mentall, it consisteth of thoughts that the thing will be, and will not be; or that it has been, and has not been, alternately.

So that wheresoever you break off the chayn of a mans Discourse, you leave him in a Praesumption of It Will Be, or, It Will Not Be; or it Has Been, or, Has Not Been.

All which is Opinion.
