"33. Be not in haste to relate news, if you know not the truth thereof.
"34. Be not curious to know the affairs of others; neither approach those that speak in private.
"35. Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise.
"36. When your masters or superiors talk to anybody, hearken not, nor speak or laugh.
"37. Speak not evil of the absent; for it is unjust.
"38. Make no show of taking delight in your victuals; feed not with greediness; cut your food with a knife, and lean not on the table; neither find fault with what you eat.
"39. Be not angry at the table, whatever happens; and, if you have reason to be so, show it not, but put on a cheerful face, especially if there be strangers; for good humor makes of one dish a feast.
"40. If you speak of God or his attributes, let it be seriously, in reverence; and honor and obey your parents.
"41. Let your recreations be manful, not sinful.
"42. Labor to keep in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience."
