Rules for a PERIOD.

A Period terminates Sense, that is absolute, full, and perfect.

And so it terminates: either one Sentence, or categorical Proposition; (As, God created the World, Man is lord of the Creatures.) Or it terminates more Sentences, distin∣guished by lesser Points: for the principal motion ought to have a greater test, than the less principal. Any Paragraph in this discourse is an Example.
