n’auance point a pas coptez, que l’on ne se choque point les talons l’un contre l’autre en entrant dans l’Eglise, que l’on ne reste point teste nue a la sortie.  Si la deuotion n’y oblige, comme lors qu’il est question d’accompagner le Tres-sainct Sacrement.

In walking guard against hurried steps, or having your mouth open and gaping; and do not move your body too much, or stoop, or let your hands hang down, or move and shake your arms; walk without striking the ground too hard or throwing your feet this way and that.  That sort of action also demands these conditions,—­not to stop to pull up one’s stockings in the street, not to walk on the toes, or in a skipping rising as in dancing; do not stoop, nor bend the head; do not advance with measured steps; do not strike the heels against each other on entering church, nor leave it bareheaded, unless devotion requires it, as in accompanying the Holy Sacrament.

54th.  Play not the Peacock, looking everywhere about you, to See if you be well Deck’t, if your Shoes fit well if your Stockings Sit neatly, and Cloths handsomely.

Chapter vi. 2.  Ne vous amusez pas a vous quarer comme vn Paon, & regarder superbement autour de vous, si vous estes bien mis, & bien chausse, si vos hauts-dechausses & vos autres habits vous sont bienfaits.  Ne sortez point de vostre chabre, portant vostre plume a vostre bouche, ou sur vostre aureille.  Ne vous amusez pas a mettre des fleurs a vos aureilles, a vostre bonnet, ou a vostre chappeau.  Ne tenez point vostre mouchoir a la main, ou pendu a vostre bouche, ny a vostre ceinture, ny sous vostre aiselle, ny sur vostre espaule, ou cache sous vostre robbe.  Mettez-le en lieu d’ou il ne puisse etre veu, & il puisse estre toutesfois comodement tire, dez qu’il en sera besoin.  Ne le presentez iamais a personne, s’il n’est tout blanc, ou presque pas deploye.

Do not delight in strutting like a peacock, or look proudly around to see if you are well decked, if your breeches and other clothes fit well.  Do not leave your room carrying your pen in your mouth or behind your ear.  Do not indulge yourself by putting flowers in your ears, cap, or hat.  Do not hold your pocket-handkerchief in your hand, hanging from your mouth, at your girdle, under your armpit, on your shoulder, or stuffed under your coat.  Put it in some place where it cannot be seen, but from whence you may easily draw it when you want it.  Never offer it to anybody unless it be quite clean, or hardly unfolded.

55th.  Eat not in the Streets, nor in ye House, out of Season.

Chapter vi. 3.  Ne marchez jamais par les chemins, en mangeant, soil seul ou en compagnie, & particulierement parmy la foule de la ville.  Ne vous mettez pas mesme a manger en la maison hors de temps du repas, & du moins abstenez vous en, quand il s’y rencontrera quelqu’vn.

Never walk on the roads eating, whether alone or in company, especially amid the crowd in a town.  Do not set to eating even in the house out of meal-times; at least abstain from it in the presence of others.

56th.  Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad Company.
