"It being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures, as in former time. ... It is therefore ordered ... after the Lord hath increased to the number of fifty householders, shall then forthwith appoint one within their town, to teach all such children as shall resort to him, to write and read. ... And it is further ordered, that where any town shall increase to the number of one hundred families or householders, they shall set up a grammar school ... to instruct youths, so far as they may be fitted for the university." - "The Old Deluder Satan Law", passed in Massachusetts in 1642, and Connecticut in 1647, "The Code of 1650, Being a Compilation of the Earliest Laws and Orders of the General Court of Connecticut", (Hartford: Silus Andres, 1822), pp. 92-93; Church of the Holy Trinity v.
