RULES for BEHAVIOUR.
97

5 Keep not a Seat too long that is lent thee by another, but being eased thyself, restore it to him that lent it to thee.
6 Task not in the Meeting House especially in the Time of Prayer or Preaching.
7 Fix thine Eye on the Minister, let it not wildly wander to gaze on any Person or Thing.
8 Attend diligently to the Words of the Minister: Pray with him when he prayeth, at least in thy Heart; and while he preacheth, listen, that thou mayest remember.
9 Be not hasty to run out of the Meeting House when the Worship is ended, as if thou wert weary of being there.
10 Walk decently and soberly Home, without Haste or Wantonness; thinking upon what you have been hearing.
