This was one of his main laws at Jamestown and just as it would today, it made him popular with some and hated by the others.
"You must obey this now for a Law, that he that will not work shall not eat (except by sickness he be disabled) for the labors of thirty or forty honest and industrious men shall not be consumed to maintain a hundred and fifty idle loiterers."
Today's dims would do what the lazy of that time did. They would set him on fire.
