Brutus is arguing with himself about assasinating Caesar. He argues that if Caesar is given greater power (by being crowned) he might get all arrogant and tyrranical. Of course, he argues against himself, Caesar has never abused his power before "I have not known when his affections sway'd More than his reason", but who knows? "So Caesar may, and lest he may, prevent."
Brutus is arguing for a preemptive strike here. This like every other preemptive strike in the history of the world is immoral and evil. By allowing himself to buy this argument, he sets the stage for his own downfall.
