The Reformers, Therefore, As Instruments In The Hands Of God, In Delivering The Church From Bondage To Prelates, Did Not Make It A Tumultuous Multitude, In Which Every Man Was A Law To Himself, Free To Believe, And Free To Do What He Pleased.

This Whole Process Of Education Is To Be Religious, And Not Only Religious, But Christian. And As Christianity Is The Only True Religion, And God In Christ The Only True God, The Only Possible Means Of Profitable Education Is The Nurture And Admonition Of The Lord.
