When in Company, put not your Hands to any Part of the Body, not usually Discovered.

If any one come to Speak to you while you are Sitting Stand up though he be your Inferior, and when you Present Seats let it be to every one according to his Degree.

When a man does all he can though it Succeeds not well blame not him that did it.

Do not laugh too loud or too much at any Public Spectacle.

When you meet with one of Greater Quality than yourself, Stop, and retire especially if it be at a Door or any Straight place to give way for him to Pass.

Play not the Peacock, looking everywhere about you, to See if you be well Decked, if your Shoes fit well if your Stockings sit neatly, and Clothes handsomely.

Labour to keep alive in your Breast that Little Spark of Celestial fire Called Conscience.

Think before you Speak pronounce not imperfectly nor bring out your Words too hastily but orderly & distinctly.

Turn not your Back to others especially in Speaking, Jog not the Table or Desk on which Another reads or writes, lean not upon any one.

Be not hasty to believe flying Reports to the Disparagement of any.

Speak not injurious Words neither in Jest nor Earnest Scoff at none although they give Occasion.

In writing or Speaking, give to every Person his due Title According to his Degree & the Custom of the Place.

Superfluous Compliments and all Affectation of Ceremony are to be avoided, yet where due they are not to be Neglected.

It is good Manners to prefer them to whom we Speak before ourselves especially if they be above us with whom in no Sort we ought to begin.

Undertake not what you cannot perform but be careful to keep your promise.
