Firstly, you must always implicitly obey orders, without attempting to form any opinion of your own respecting their propriety. Secondly, you must consider every man your enemy who speaks ill of your king; and thirdly, you must hate a Frenchman, as you do the devil.

You must consider every man your enemy who speaks ill of your King, and you must treat every Frenchman as if he were the Devil himself.
