Thy Soul which understands what delight is; and conceives a tickling pleasure in these covetous desires. But to satisfy thy soul, thou wouldst not be so greedy of abundance: for a little serves the body. If it have food to sustain it, garments to hide it, harbour to shelter it, liberty to refresh it, it is contented. And satiety of these things doth not (reficere, sed interficere) comfort, but confound it. Too much meat surfeits the body, too much apparel wearies it, too much wine drowns it: onely Quod conuenit, conseruat. It is then the soul that requires this plenitude, and therefore from this plenitude shall the Soul be required.
