Children who have Parents living observe your Duty to them and whatsoever they Command you do and God will bless you the better for he hath Commanded you to Honour your Father and Mother If they do Chide you bear it patiently and do not provoke them to continue their Anger by unreverent Answers but be silent and submissive to them Be careful of your time when you Learn any thing and do not let the Mony which they are willing to disburse for you be lost through your Idleness Observe every one how they do order their Houses and how they do make this or that and what you cannot remember that write down that it may stead you another time Be careful of your Parents when they are Sick and reverence them when they are Aged Burthen them not when you come to be of Age of Discretion but think with your self how or which way to case them Take heed what Company you keep for fear they corrupt you and draw you into mischief Go not from your Parents without their leave least you grieve them and bring a Curse upon your selves by Disobeying them Depend on no Friends but trust in him who is able always to provide for you and that will never fail those who wait upon him patiently without distrust he is never weary of hearing the complaint of the Widow and Fatherless nor of any who are in Distress On the other side do not neglect or slight your Friends but shew your duty to them in your respects and give ear to their good Counsel When you are absent from your Parents be sure to Write to them so often as need shall require and let not what you Write be impertinent and troublesome If God hath blest you with a good Lady or Mistress be you observing alwaies what may please her and be humble and modest in your Behaviour be neat and Houswifely in your Cloaths and lay up what Mony can handsomly be spared Be careful of what she gives you or what you have in your Charge that by so doing you may oblige her to be loving and kind to you and cause her to speak well of you Do not keep familiarity with any but those by whom you may improve your time If you be an Apprentice be careful that you learn your Trade well that you may live another day and let not the Mony your Parent or Friends gave for your good be thrown away by your Neglect and Carelesness If God hath blest you with a Fortune be careful to improve it and trust not too much upon it Never consent to Marry with any man without your Parents or Friends Consent least you be the Cause of their Grief and Sorrow and bring your self to Affliction and Misery All you who have any Young Maidens or Gentlewomen under your Charge or Tuition be you alwaies mindful of their Good as well as your own If they are put to School to you or Apprentices let them not lose their Youthful time which cannot be redeemed but keep them strictly to their Duty in a loving and mild way If they come as Servants to you for Wages be not cruel to them in severe Language nor impose more upon them than they shall be able to perform nor pinch them in their Diet but allow them such Food as is convenient for them When they do their Duty to you be you pleased to encourage them by giving them good words and bestow some small Favour on them Advise them how to lay out their Mony and never to spend all but keep some for a reserve Let them go decently not vainly and proudly and command them duly to the Service of God I think I have spoken sufficiently ●o all I mentioned and as I mean well so I hope you will all of you ●ake it well With this my advice ● vvish you the Blessing of GOD and do desire the same from you upon my self which is all the Gratification I do desire or expect from you Be pleased to take notice that in my Book The Ladies Guide I did give direction for the Writing of Letters but it was only to such as were Young and to Servants I think it not amiss to give some Forms or Patterns of Letters for Elder and more-serious people for I do daily find that in Writing most Women are to seek They many times spend their time in Learning a good Hand but their English and Language is The one not easie to understand The other weak and impertinent I meet with Letters my self sometimes that I could even tear them as I read them they are so full of impertinency and so tedious I will begin with one of them not that you should take example by it to do the same but I set it as a thing to be abhorr'd and shun'd From a Sister to a Brother far distant from her Dear Brother MY love remembred unto you hoping that you are in good health as I am at the writing hereof praised be God I hope you got well to your Journeys end I pray let us know My Father and my Mother do remember their Love to you and my Sister Betty remembers her Love to you and my Brother John and my Brother Nicholas do so too and my Couzin Jane is Married and she doth remember her Love to you and her Husband remembers his Love to you and says he would be glad to see you and to be acquainted with you My Couzin Robin remembers his Love to you and my Couzin Nan remembers her Love to you and I remember my Love to you So I rest Your loving Sister till death Elizabeth Spanner You see in this Letter how ridiculous it is to Write after this manner the language being both impertinent and foolish Give me leave now to shew you what ill English is and tell me which is worst for I do not yet know From a Daughter to her Mother Dear Mother MY duty remembred unto you hopping that you are in good helth as i am at the Riting hereof prased be God this is to let you understand that i have receved the things you sent to me by Tomas Frenge and he had a grot of me for the bringing them i pray do not forget my Come I left in the Kichen windo and my Aporn in the Chamber pray send them al to me i hop my Father is wel and my brother Ned and my suster Joice and i hop godie welsh is wel thus with my love and duty to you i rest your dutiful daster Ann Blackwell Now I have shewed you how ridiculous and simple and how impertinent these are I will also shew you how to Write that it may be effectual in what you shall desire and also acceptable to those you Write to You shall find here Letters upon all Occasions which commonly concern us and some others which accidentally may happen Observe that you are not to Write word for word but to take the manner of the Form it will teach you
