Beware of giving way to the love of dress, of company, and of amusement....Let your dress be neat and clean. Never be seen ragged, nor even with the smallest hole in any part of your dress....Spend your leisure time in an innocent, prudent manner. If any good books ere given to you at school, or by any of your kind friends before you went to service, take them with you...".

No safe and profitable places are to be met with, in London, or any where else, without proper recommendations, and the assistance of friends. --In all large cities, especially in London, there are so many snares and temptations, and so much wickedness, that, unless young persons can meet with very excellent situations, or have very good and prudent friends there, they are much better in places in the country." ""On religious duties. Regularly attend public worship whenever you have an opportunity, twice every Sunday, with seriousness and reverence....Diligently read the Bible. Learn by heart, and treasure up in your memory, the texts in Scripture, especially the following, which teach a servant's duty;...."
