riche of it selfe hath substance enough as a thing that standeth in speache and gestures alone And that thou mayst now more easily learne the way vnto it thou must vnderstand it behoues thee to frame and order thy maners and doings not according to thyne owne minde and fashion but to please those with whome thou lyuest and after that sort direct thy doings And this must be done by Discretion and Measure For who so applieth himself to much to feede other mens humors in his familiar conuersation and behauiour with men is rather to be thought a Iester a Iugler or flatterer then a gentleman wel taught and nourtured As contrarywise whoe so hath no care or mynd to please or displese is a rude vntaught and vncourteous fellowe For asmuche then as our maners haue some pleasure in them when we respect other men and not our owne pleasure if we diligētly searche forthe what those things be that most men do generally lyke or dislike we shall in suche forte wisely and easily finde out the meanes wayes to choose and eschewe those fashions and maners we are to leaue or take to liue amongest men We say then that euery act that offendeth any the common senses or ouerthwarteth a mans will and desire or els presenteth to the Imagination and conceite matters vnpleasaunt that likewyse which the mynde doth abhorre such things I say bee naught and must not be vsed for vve must not only refraine from such thinges as be fowle filthy lothsome and nastie but vve must not so muche as name them And it is not only a fault to dooe such things but against good maner by any act or signe to put a man in minde of them And therefore it is an ilfauoured fashion that some men vse openly to thrust their hands in what parte of their bodye they lyst Lykwise I like it as yll to see a Gentlemā fettle him selfe to do the needes of Nature in presence of men And after he hath doone to trusse him selfe againe before them Neither would I haue him if I may geue him councell when he comes from suche an occupatiō so much as washe his hāds in the sight of honest company for that the cause of his washing puts them in minde of some filthy matter that hath bene done aparte And by the same reason it is no good maner when a man chaunceth to see as he passeth the waye as many times it happeneth a lothesome thing that wil make a mā to cast his stomacke to tourne vnto the company shewe it them And much worse I like it to reache some stynking thing vnto a man to smell vnto it as it is many a mās fashiō to do with importunate meanes yea thrusting it vnto their nose saying Foh feele I pray you hovv this doth stink vvhere they should rather say smell not vnto it for it hath an yll sent And as these and lyke fashions offend the sēses to which they appertaine so to grynde the teethe to whistle to make pityfull cryes to rubb sharpe stones together and to fyle vppon Iron do muche offend the Eares and would be lefte in any case Neither must wee refraine those things alone but we must also beware we do not syng and specialy alone if we haue an vntuneable voyce which is a common fault with moste men And yet hee that is of nature least apt vnto it doth vse it moste So there be some kynde of men that in coffyng or neesing make suche noyse that they make a man deafe to here them other some vse in lyke things so little discretion that they spyt in mens faces that stand about them besydes these there be some that in yauning braye and crye out like Asses And yet such with open mouth wil euer say and do what they list and make such noyse or rather suchroaring as the dumme man doth when he striueth with him selfe to speake All these yllfauoured fashions a man must leaue as lothsome to the eare and the eye And a mā must leaue to yawne muche not only for the respect of the matter I haue saide alreadye as that it seemes to proceede of a certaine werynes that shewes that he that yawneth could better like to be els where then there in that place as wearied with the companie their talke and their doings And sure albeit a mā be many times disposed to yawne yet if he be occupied with any delyght or earnest matter to think vppon he shall haue no minde to doe it But if he be lumpishe idle it is an easy matter to fall in to it And therefore VVhen a man yavvneth in place vvhere there bee slouthfull and Idle folkes that haue nothing to doe the rest as you may see many times yavvne againe for companie by by as it he that yawned had put them in minde to doe it which of them selues they would haue done first if hee had not begoone vnto them And I haue many tymes heard learned and wise men say that A yavvner meaneth as much in Latin as a careles and Idle bodie Let vs then flye these condicions that loathe as I sayd the eyes the Eares the Stomacke For in vsing these fashyons we doe not only shewe that we take litle pleasure in the company but we geue them occasion withall to iudge amis of vs I meane that we haue a drowsye heuie nowle which makes vs yll wellcom to all cōpanies we come vnto And whē thou hast blowne thy nose vse not to open thy handkercheif to glare vppon thy snot as if thou hadst pearles and Rubies fallen from thy braynes for these be slouenly parts ynough to cause men not so much not to loue vs as if they did loue vs to vnloue vs againe As the Sprite of Labirintho doth testifie who soeuer he were that made it who to quenche the heate wherwith Master Iohn Boccase burned in desyre and Loue of his Lady vnknowne tells how she cowred her taile ouer the ashes sytting vppon her heeles and coughed and spatte out Collops It is also an vnmanerly parte for a man to lay his nose vppon the cup where another must drinke or vppon the meate that another must eate to the end to smell vnto it But rather I would wish he should not smell at all no not to that which he himselfe should eate and drinke because it may chaūce there might fall some droppe frō his nose that would make a man to loath it although there fall nothing at all in deede Neither by mine aduise shalt thou reache to any man that cup of wine wherof thy selfe hast fyrst dronke and tasted without he be more then a familiar friend vnto thee And much lesse must thou giue any parte of the peare or the fruite which thou hast bitten in thy mouth before And esteeme not light of my talke for that these things be of little account For euen light stripes their number may be such be able to
