Greetings all!

Today in a used book store I found a very small book: "The School of Manners
or Rules for Childrens Behaviour" (sic).  The date on it is 1701 (obviously
a reprint!).  Herewith I give you the opening rules:

short and mixt Precepts.

1)  Fear God.
2)  Honour the King
3)  Reverence thy Parents
4)  Submit to thy Superiors
5)  Despise not thy Inferiors
6)  Be courteous with thy Equals
7)  Pray daily and devoutly
8)  Converse with the Good.
9)  Imitate not the Wicked
10)  Hearken to Instruction
11)  Be desirous of Learning
12)  Love the School
13)  Be always cleanly
14)  Study Vertue
15)  Provoke no Body
16)  Love thy Schoolfellowes
17)  Please thy Master
18)  Let not play entice thee
19)  Restrain thy Tongue
20)  Covert future Honour, which only Vertue and Wisdom can procure

Not a bad little list, eh?
