As if she were rude or impudent in so doing, as otherwise they should have thought. Quest. Why did he not rather give her as much Corn as she could carry, and send her away? Ans. Because he would not have her to Eat the Bread of Idleness, but honestly to get it with the Sweat of her Brows, according to her Duty and present Condition.
