Chapter iii. 15.  Le temps & le lieu, l’age & la difference des personnes doivent regler tout cet vsage de compliments qui se fait parmy les plus polis, & particulierement ceux qui consistent dans les paroles.  Mais l’on doit trancher court auec les personnes affairees & ne leur presenter plus aux nez toutes ses agreables fleurettes:  il les faut epargner, & se faire entendre plustost par mines, qu’auec des paroles.

Time and place, age and the difference between persons, ought to regulate the whole custom of compliments as is done amongst the most polite, especially compliments that consist in words.  But one should cut matters short with men of business, and not put one’s fine flowerets under their nose; one should spare them, and make himself understood rather by looks than words.

As the care for the most refined politeness ought not to trouble much the minds of artizans and of the dregs of the people, as regards Nobles and Magistrates, while it is reasonable that they should take care to honour such, so it is also right that the nobility should treat them gently, spare them, and avoid all manner of arrogance.
