No More Learning

_ Nothing is more true. For either all things must
be reduced to nothing (or have no relation to anything else), and,
destitute of a head, float about without control or order; or if
there be anything to which all things tend, that must be the
supreme good. ]

clearly apprehend this truth, of which but just now you were
ignorant. ]

THE END OF ALL THINGS. ]

[Sidenote: _P. _ The _End of all things_.
And this is what every
one desires; but we have shown that _good_ is the thing desired by
all, therefore _Good_ is the _End of all things_. ]

That thow ne wystest nat q{uod} she whych was
the ende of thinges // and Certes that is the thing ? {a}t 2828
