You must strive against the Evils of your heart: I do forewarn you of the danger •f •in, and charge you before the Great God, not to keep Company with wicked Children; for some do not only now-a-day go astray from the Womb, telling Lies; but also learn to Swear and Blaspheme the Holy Name of God as soon, nay, before they can speak plain, and their evil and wicked Parents do not reprove them.
