No care can satisfy the uncontented mind. The righteous eateth, & is satisfied: but the 1belly of the wicked ever wanteth. He hath enlarged his desire as hell, and ladeth him self with thick clay, he increaseth that which is not his, and cannot be satisfied. The horse leach 2hath two daughters, which cry, give, give. There be there things y• will not be satisfied: Yea, four y• say not it is enough. They care not by what means they make their gains, they live in usury, a most filthy trade, a trade which God detesteth, a trade which is the very overthrow of all Christian love. They eat up the people as they eat bread. Such are the ways of every one, that is greedy of gain, He would take away y• life of y• owners thereof. 3They have hardened their heart against God, they do not serve God, but Mammon.
