nd learned Accomplishments of the Ancients and Moderns,
without the Fatigue and Expence of another Language, for which most of
them have little Use or Necessity, since (without another) they may
understand their own Speech; and all other Things requisite to be
learn'd by them sooner and better.

Thus the Youth might as well be instructed there as here by proper
Methods, without the Expence and Danger of coming hither; especially if
they make Use of the great Advantage of the _College_ at
_Williamsburgh_, where they may (and many do) imbibe the Principles of
all human and divine Literature, both in _English_ and in the learned
Languages.

By the happy Opportunity of this College may they be advanced to
religious and learned Education, according to the Discipline and

may propose to them Notions and Views different from each other.

Most other Plantations, especially they that are granted away to

Methods; besides, they cannot have such a right Claim to the Favour of
the Crown, nor demand its best Protection, since they may often
interfere with its Interest: whereas _Virginia_ is esteemed one of the
most valuable Gems in the Crown of _Great Britain_.

Thus _Virginia_ having to itself (with _Maryla
