That is to say,¹ after thou hast prepared that thou desirest yet is not thy mind quieted, the same affection abideth still after thy desire, that thou haddest before. The mind is never contented. Alexander, when he had overcome the world, had no more, then he had before. For his mind was never the more satisfied. Julius thought to establish a common ⟨image 20⟩weal, so thought Brutus too, but neither of them brought it to effect. This is it that he saith, What is that that hath been? Verily even the same that hath been down afore, that is to say, the same affection still remaineth, which will never be satisfied. That that he desireth or studieth to have or bring to pass, is even the same he hath all ready. To be short What a man hath to day of the same will he covet more to morrow.

THat is to say,¹ after thou hast prepared that thou desirest yet is not thy mynde quyeted, the same affection abydeth still after thy desire, yt thou haddest before. The mynde is neuer contented.
