    Was surprised and delighted to find this today:

    “That if there be but a certain proportion of work to be done; and that the same be already done by the not-Beggars; then to employ the Beggars about it, will but transfer the want from one hand to another…”

    The above is from John Graunt’s “Natural and Political Observations made upon the Bills of Mortality” (1662).
