4 If thy Master be discoursing in the School with a Stranger, stare not confidently on them, nor hearken to their Talk.
5 Interrupt not thy Master while a Stranger or Visitant is with him, with any Question, Request or Complaint; but defer any such Matter until he be at leisure.
6 At no Time quarrel or talk in the School, but be quiet, peaceable and silent. Much less mayest thou deceive thyself, in trifling away thy precious Time in Play.
7 If thy Master speak to thee, rise up and bow; making thine Answer standing.
8 Bawl not aloud in making Complaints. A Boy's Tongue should never be heard in the School but in answering a Question, or saying his Lesson.
9 If a Stranger speak to thee in School, stand up and answer with Respect and Ceremony, both of Word and Gesture, as if thou speakest to thy Master.
10 Make not haste out of School, but soberly go when thy Turn comes, without Noise or Hurry.
