When you are going in the street do not cry nor bawl nor sing nor kick at any thing nor give evil words to any 13. I would have you take notice of men and act as wisely as you can as if your father and Mother did see you or as if all mens eyes were upon you If you do so every body will speak well of you and say There is a pretty child that child is a comfort to his Parents he doth deserve to be beloved Childrens behaviour at Table 14.

See that you spill no Pottage upon the Table Cut your Bread and keep the bones of your Meat upon the corner of your Trencher 19. I would have you not to blow your Nose if possible you can avoid it nor spit much nor play at the Table by no means and when Grace is said rise and take your Trencher and stool away and bow your body to the Company and what ever else is needful for you to learn that is here wanting I hope your Parents will instruct you Childrens behaviour at Church 20. Child when thou comest into the Church think with thy self that thou comest into the special presence of God and desire his heavenly assistance to enlighten thy understanding and make thee willing to be guided by his word 21. When thou art in the Church take heed that thou dost not offend with thy mouth take a convenient place to sit where you may hear the Minister and be attentive to carry away with you as much as you can of the Sermon 22.
