Introducing the Subject

"And I verily do suppose that in the braines and
hertes of children, whiche be membres spirituall,
whiles they be tender, and the little slippes of
reason begynne in the them to bud, ther may happe
by evil custome some pestiferous dewe of vice
to perse the sayde members, and infecte and
corrupt the softe and tender buddes."

— Sir Thomas Elyot
(1531)
