When þou spytes, be welle were

Where so þou spytes, nyȝe or fere;

Hold þi hand be-fore thi mouth

When þou spytes, & hyde it couth.

Kepe þi knyfe both clene & scherpe,

And be not besy forto kerpe;

Clens þi knyfe with some cutte bred,

Not with thi cloth, As I þe rede:

With Any fylth to fowle þe clothe,

A curtase mane he wylle be lothe.
