Mercy is like the man who drains a field by digging ditches, and then waters it only where it is too dry. All that the people have is taken from them, even the ability to feed themselves by their labor, and then efforts are made to support only the poorest by giving them a portion of what has been taken from them.

"Mila este asemeni omului care seacă un câmp mustind de apă săpând canale de scurgere, iar apoi îl udă numai acolo unde e prea uscat. Poporului i se ia tot ce are, chiar și posibilitatea de a se hrăni prin munca sa, iar apoi se fac eforturi pentru a-i sprijini numai pe cei mai sărmani, împărțindu-le o parte din ce li s-a luat."
