For , if they give to the Beggers in the Streets , or at their Doors , they fear they may do hurt by encouraging that lazy unprofitable kind of Life ; and if they give more than their proportions in their respective Parishes , that ( they say ) is but giving to the Rich , for the Poor are not set on Work thereby , nor have the more given them ; but only their rich Neighbours pay the less .
