Opinion, which is weak and common, to the false and unknown.
b 1.2 These three are joyned together, Science, Opinion, and Comprehension, which borders upon the other two. Science is a firme, stable, immutable comprehension with reason: Opinion, an infirm, weak, assent: Comprehension, which commeth be∣tween both, is an assent to comprehensive phantasy. Compre∣hensive phantasy is true, in such manner, that it cannot be false. Therefore Science is in wise men only, Opinion in fooles, Com∣prehension is common to both, as being that by which truth is judged;c 1.3 and is for this reason reckon'd by Zeno, neither a∣mongst the right (〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉) nor amongst the bad (〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉) but betwixt science and ignorance, affirming, that this only is to be credited.
