¶ Certain wholesome Observations and Rules foe Jnne-keepers, and also for their Guests, meet to be fixed upon the wall of every Chamber in the house; but meant more specially for the good of Mr. Henry Hunter and his wife, of Smithfield, his loving brother and sister, and of the Guests which use their house.  
1. WE Read of innkeepers that they were of ancient time, as in Ios. 2. judg. 19 verse. 21. 22.  
2. Our Saviour in the Gospel commends the use of Inns. Luke 10. ver. 34. and brought to an Inn.  
3. Yea Christ himself by his own presence did sanctify the use of Inns by eating his passover there. Mat. 26. 18.  
4. In Acts 28. there is express mention of an Inn with approbation and liking. They came to meet us at the market of Appius, and at the three Taverns.  
5 Common experience showeth all men what use there is of Inns for case of travailers, that their bodies which are the members of Christ, and Temples of the holy ghost appointed to a glorious resurrection, may be refreshed after wearisome labour.  
6 It must not be accounted a small matter to afford house room, lodging, rest and food to the comforts of God's children.   

Rules for Innkeepers.  
1. THough your house (as an Inn) be open for all men to come unto, yet account honest men your best guests: ever hold their company better than their rooms.  
2 Amongst honest men, let such as be religious withal, be most welcome. The feet of the Saints are blessed, and often leave blessings behind them, as we read of joseph. Gen. 39 4. 5.  
3. Of religious and godly men let faithful Ministers have heartiest entertainment. The feet of such as bring glad tidings of peace and good things, oh how beautiful are they. Rom. 10. Such as receive a Prophet in the name of a Prophet shall have a Prophet's reward. Mat. 10. Be not so glad of your gain▪ as that you may pleasure such.  
4 Because your guests be God's children, and their bodies the members of Christ, let their usage for meat, lodging, diet, and sleep be such as becomes such; worthy personages, as be heirs with God, even fellow heirs▪ with Christ. Rom. 8.  
5. In serving and loving your guests, remember you do serve and love God, who takes all as done to himself, which for his sake is done to his. Mat. 25. 34. 33. 36.  
6. Content yourselves with an honest gain, so using your guests as they may have an appetite to return to you when they are gone from you.  
7 Make choice of good servants, such as know God and make conscience of their ways: for these are likeliest to be true, faithful, diligent, and cheerful in their service; also such will best please your best guests, and will not justly offend your worst. Moreover, God will cause your business to prosper best in the hands of such.  
8. Give your servants no evil example in word or deed, bear not with their lying, deceit, swearing, profaning of the Sabbath, or wantonness. Cause them to keep the Lords day holy, going to the Church by turns: examine them how they profit by Sermons; love such servants best, as most love God's word.   

Rules for Guests.  
1. Use an Inn not as your own house, but as an Inn; not to dwell in but to rest for such time as ye have just and needful occasion and then to return to your own families.  
2. Remember ye are in the world as in an Inn to tarry for a short space; and then to be gone hence.  
3. At night when ye come to your Inn thank God for your Preservation: next morning pray for a good journey.  
4. Eat and drink for necessity and strength, and not for lust.  
5. At table let your talk be powdered with the salt of heavenly wisdom, as your meat is seasoned with material and earthly salt.  
6. Above all abhor all oaths, cursing and blasphemy, for God will not hold him guiltless which taketh his name in vain.  
FINIS.
