Don’t swear.

Eat what’s given you, and don’t ask for this and that.

Honour your father and mother: kneel and ask their blessing.

Keep your clothes clean.

Don’t go bird’s-nesting, or steal fruit, or throw stones at men’s windows, or play in church.

Don’t chatter.

Get home by daylight.

Keep clear of fire and water, and the edges of wells and brooks.

Take care of your book, cap, and gloves, or you’ll be birched on your bare bottom.

Don’t be a liar or thief, or make faces at any man.
