Commandment II.
[Superstition here is free]
II. Thou shalt not make to thy selfe any Graven images &c.
Superstition here is free
If her Idols rais'd may be;
And with Zeal the same pursues
If will worship she may use.
When, she should obey or hear
Sacrifice, she doth prepare.
Such Religion to profess
Is but irreligeousness:
And for that presumptions vain,
Many Israelites were slain.
