RULES for BEHAVIOUR.

12 Avoid sinful and unlawful Recreations, and all such as prejudice the Welfare of Body or Mind.
13 Scorn not, laugh not at any for their natural Infirmities of Body or Mind; nor because of them, affix to any a vexing Title of Contempt and Reproach, but pity such as are so visited, and be thankful that you are otherwise distinguished and favoured.
14 Adventure not to talk with thy Companion about thy Superiors, to raise Discourse reflecting upon, or touching another's Parents or Masters; nor publish any Thing of thine own Family or Household Affairs. Children must meddle only with the Affairs of Children.
