As an Apprentis.......

You will not haunt taverns and ale houses; fornicate; play cards or dice; contract matrimony or damage the goods of the Master or of others. As a good and faithfull Apprentis I will teach and instruct you in the art of broom making and shall and will also learn or cause you to be learned or taught to reade English and write and cypher so far as to keepe a booke. I will also provide meate and drink, washing and lodging and when term is expired to sett you free............."
