Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour


22nd Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy.
---
56th Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
---
108th When you speak of God or his attributes, let it be seriously and with reverence. Honour & obey your natural parents although they be poor.
