1. Temperance. Eat not to dullness;


drink not to elevation.
2. Silence. Speak not but what may
benefit others or yourself; avoid
trifling conversation.
3. Order. Let all your things have their
places; let each part of your business
have its time.
4. Resolution. Resolve to perform what
you ought; perform without fail what
you resolve.
5. Frugality. Make no expense but to
do good to others or yourself; i.e.,
waste nothing.
6. Industry. Lose no time; be always
employ'd in something useful; cut off
all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit;
think innocently and justly, and, if
you speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice. Wrong none by doing
injuries, or omitting the benefits that
are your duty.
9. Moderation. Avoid extremes;
forbear resenting injuries so much as
you think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness. Tolerate no
uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or
habitation.
11. Tranquillity. Be not disturbed at
trifles, or at accidents common or
unavoidable.
12. Chastity. Rarely use venery but for
health or offspring, never to dullness,
weakness, or the injury of your own
or another's peace or reputation.
13.Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
