To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the idle poor de- serve punishment, and that the suffering poor demand pity, were still held to be true, but to these principles was added THE ETHICS OF THE POOR LAW 135 the new one that the State was responsible for both, In order to ease the burdens of the charitable, the idle must be compelled to support themselves, and in the almost incredible event of any one who, having this world's goods, yet refused to be charitable, provision was made to compel him to contribute, so as to hinder i...njustice being done to the man who gave willingly. Put briefly, these laws said, " Poverty demands scientific treatment". During the next two centuries great strides were made in the directions indicated by each of these three principles. The right to punish persons who would not work " for the ordinary wages " was extended from that legalized in Eliza- beth's time of being " openly whipped till his body was bloody, " to the drastic statute of the reign of Charles II, when it became lawful to transport the beggars and rogues "to any of the English plantations beyond the seas, " while the effort to create the shame of pauperism was made by the legislators of William III, who commanded that every recipient of public charity should wear " a large ' P, ' on the shoulder of the right sleeve of his habilement ".
