28. Jest not where none takes pleasure in mirth; laugh not loud, nor at all, without occasion. Deride no man’s misfortune.
29. Speak not injurious words, neither in jest nor in earnest; scoff at none, though they give occasion.
30. Be not forward, but friendly and courteous; the first to salute, hear and answer.
31. Detract not from others; neither be excessive in commending.
32. Give not advice without being asked.
33. Reprehend not the imperfections of others; for that belongs to parents, masters and superiors.
34. Gaze not at the marks, or personal blemishes of others; nor ask how they came.
35. Think before you speak; pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and distinctly.
36. When another speaks, be attentive and disturb not the audience. If a person hesitate in his words, do not in general help him out, nor prompt him without being desired; interrupt him not, nor answer him, till he has done speaking.
