Alms are not for those able to work


"As soon as anyone is strong enough to work, tools of his trade are bought for him and nothing more is given to him. And so, the alms are not for those able to work on the fortifications or to do something else, but only for seriously ill sick persons, orphans and the elderly” (SV IV, 182-183).
