ccording
to the Custom of the Better Bred, and Quality of the Persons. Amongst
your equals expect not always that they Should begin with you first, but
to Pull off the Hat when there is no need is Affectation, in the Manner
of Saluting and resaluting in words keep to the most usual Custom.

Chapter iii. 2. Temoignez vos respects aux hommes illustres &
honorables, le chappeau en la main, comme aux Ecclesiastiques, ou
aux Magistrats, ou a quelques autres personnes qualifiees; en
tenant vers vous le dedans du chappeau que vous aurez oste: Faites
leur aussi la reverence par quelque inclination de corps, autant
que la dignite de chacun d'eux, & la belle coutume des enfants bien
nourris, le semble exiger. Et comme c'est vne chose fort inciuile
de ne se pas decouurir devant ceux a qui l'on doit ce respect, pour
les saluer, ou d'attendre que vostre egal vous rend le premier ce
deuoir; aussi de le faire, quand il n'est pas a propos, ressent sa
ciuilite affectee: mais c'est vne honteuse impertinence de prendre
garde si l'on vous rend vostre salutation. Au reste pour saluer
quelqu'vn de parole, ce compliment semble le plus propre, qui est
vsite par personnes le plus polies.

Show your respect for illustrious and honourable men,--such as
Ecclesiastics, Magistrates, or other persons of quality,--hat in
hand, holding the inside of the removed hat towards you; make your
reverence to them by inclining your body as much as the dignity of
each and the custom of well-bred youth seems to demand. And, as it
is very rude not to uncover the head before those to whom one owes
such respect, in order to salute them, or to wait till your equal
should perform this duty towards you first, so also, to do it when
it is not fitting savours of affected politeness: but it is
shameful impertinence to be anxious for the return of one's salute.
Finally, it seems most fitting to salute any one in words, a
compliment which the politest persons are in the habit of using.

27th. Tis ill manners to bid one more eminent than yourself be covered
as well as not to do it to whom it's due. Likewise he that makes too
much haste to Put on his hat does not well, yet he ought to Put it on at
the first, or at most the Second time of being ask'd; now what is herein
Spoken, of Qualification in behaviour in Saluting, ought also to be
observed
