And not to send them to such schools where they are taught the corrupt ways, manners, fashions, and language of the world, and of the heathen in their authors, and names of the heathenish gods and goddesses ; tending greatly to corrupt and alienate the minds of children into an averseness or opposition against the truth, and the simplicity...
