The ciuilitie of childehode with the discipline and institucion of children, distributed in small and compe[n]dious chapiters / and translated oute of French into Englysh, by Thomas Paynell.

¶ Of the chaumber, and of those thinges y^t mē ought to do ther.

To auoide chatteryng and noise in the chamber and bedde.

Silence, shamefastnes, and also simplicitie, are praised in the chamber: but crying oute, euyl noyses, and pratling, are not honest, & muche lesse in bed. Whether it be whā thou dooest vnraye thee, or whan thou doest ryse, remembring shamefastnes, beware thou discouer nothynge to the eyes of other, that both custom and na∣ture would it should be couert. If thou haue a common bed with thy compa∣nion, be, styll whan thou art laide, and in remouing thy self, vncouer him not nor be not greuous vnto him plucking his couerlet from hym.
