Parallel - Distribution of Money

Shake-Speare:

Here, take this purse...
So distribution should undo excess
And each man have enough.
  King Lear 4.1.63 & 69-70

Bacon:
Of great riches there is no real use, except it be in the distribution.
  Essay on Riches

Comment: The basic idea that wealth should be spread was common, but "distribution" make this a close parallel.
