[Sidenotes: [141] If you go to school you shall learn: 1. Cross of Christ, 2. Pater Noster, 3. Hail Mary and the Creed, 4. In the name of the Trinity, 5. of the Apostles, 6. the Confession. [155] Seek the kingdom of God, and worship Him. [159] At church, take holy water; pray for all Christian companions; kneel to God on both knees, to man only on one. [167] At the Altar, serve the priest with both hands. [171] Speak gently to your father and mother, and honour them. [175] Do to others as you would they should do to you. [179] Don’t be foolishly meek. [181] The seed of the righteous shall never beg or be shamed. [185] Be ready forgive, and fond of peace. [189] If you cannot give an asker goods, give him good words. [193] Be willing to help every one. [197] Give your partner his fair share. [201] Go on the pilgrimages (?) you vow to saints, lest God take vengeance on you. [205] Don’t believe all who speak fair: the Serpent spoke fair words (to Eve). [210] Be cautious with your words, except when angry. [213] Don’t lie, but keep your word. [215] Don’t laugh too often, or you’ll be called a shrew or a fool. [219] Man’s 3 enemies are: the Devil, the Flesh, and the World. [223] Destroy these, and be sure of heaven. [225] Don’t strive with your lord, or bet or play with him. [231] In a strange place don’t be too inquisitive or fussy. [235] If a man falls, don’t laugh, but help him up: [240] your own head may fall to your feet. [241] At the Mass, if the priest doesn’t please you, don’t blame him. [245] Don’t tell your secrets to a shrew. [249] Don’t beckon, point, or whisper. [251] When you meet a man, greet him, or answer him cheerily if he greets you: don’t be dumb, lest men say you have no mouth. [259] Never speak improperly of women, for we and our fathers were all born of women. [267] A wife should honour and obey her husband, and serve him. [271] Try to reconcile brothers if they quarrel. [275] At a gate, let your equal precede you; go behind your superior and your master unless he bids you go beside him. [285] On a pilgrimage don’t be third man: 3 oxen can’t draw a plough. [289] Don’t drink all that’s in a cup offered you; take a little. [293] If you sleep with any man, ask what part of the bed he likes, and lie far from him. [299] If you journey with any man, find out his name, who he is, where he is going. [303] With friars on a pilgrimage, do as they do. [307] Don’t put up at a red (haired and faced) man or woman’s house. [312] Answer opponents meekly, but don’t tell lies. [315] Before your lord at table, keep your hands, feet, and fingers still. [322] Don’t stare about, or at the wall, or lean against the post. [327] Don’t pick your nose, scratch your arm, or stoop your head. [331] Listen when you’re spoken to. [335] Never
