IN presence of
others, sing not to yourself, nor drum with your fingers or feet.
Sit not when others stand; walk not when others stop; speak not when
you should hold your peace.
Turn not your back to others, especially in speaking; jog not the
table or desk on which another reads, writes or works; lean not on
any one.
When another speaks be attentive.
Eat not with greediness; lean not on the table; neither find fault
with what you eat.
When you speak of God be serious.
Honor and obey your parents.
Play not the peacock, looking everywhere about you to see if your
shoes fit well, if your stockings set neatly and clothe yourself
simple.
