VI. They are desired to begin with the scholars punctually at ten o'clock, and to leave them at ten minutes before eleven.

IV. Each scholar is expected to come straight from home to the chapel, and to go directly home after Divine Service is ended, with quietness and good behaviour. All playing and rudeness in the streets on a Sunday is disgraceful and sinful. The
