RULES for BEHAVIOUR.
119

10 If a Superiour speak to thee in the Street, answer him with thy Head uncovered; and put not on thy Hat until he either go from thee, or bid thee once and again be covered; take not Leave at the first bidding, but with a Bow [and saying, by no means, Sir] modestly refute it.
11 Run not hastily in the Street, nor go too slowly; wag not to and fro, nor use any antick or wanton Postures, either of thy Head, Hands, Feet or Body.
12 Stare not at every unusual Person or Thing which thou seest.
13 Throw not any Thing in the Street, as Dirt, Stones, &c.
14 If thou meetest the Scholars of any other School, jeer not nor affront them, but shew them love and respect, and quietly let them pass along.
15 Especially affront not the Master of another School, but rather, if thou knowest him, or if he live near either thine House or School, uncover thy Head to him, and bowing pass by him.
