The ten Commandements.
God spake these words, the Lord thy God I am,
That brought thee home, when thou from Egypt came:
I set thee free from bondage euery way,
Because thou shalt my holy will obay.
That brought thee home, when thou from Egypt came:
I set thee free from bondage euery way,
Because thou shalt my holy will obay.
Thou shalt not haue any other Gods but me,
Thou shalt not serue strange Gods in any degree:
Vnto thy selfe, no grauen image make,
Like any thing, that is in heauen aboue,
Nor earth belowe, thy pleasure so to take:
Nor vnderneath the earth, my wrath to mooue:
Nor worship them by any kind of meane,
For I thy God loues people pure and cleane.
Thou shalt not serue strange Gods in any degree:
Like any thing, that is in heauen aboue,
Nor earth belowe, thy pleasure so to take:
Nor vnderneath the earth, my wrath to mooue:
Nor worship them by any kind of meane,
For I thy God loues people pure and cleane.
Thou shalt not bowe downe to any image wrought,
Thy onely Lord a iealous God he is,
That plagues the sinnes of people vaine and nought:
Yea to the third, and fourth generation, note well this,
I visite the Sonnes, and Fathers of them all,
That doe hate me, or to idolatry fall:
And mercies shewes, to thousands when I will,
That loues me, and keepes my commandements still.

Thou shalt not take, thy great Gods name in vaine,
He gilty is, that will mine honour staine.
He gilty is, that will mine honour staine.
The sabboth day, looke that thou keepe in feare,
Sixe dayes thou hast, to worke, to trudge, and toyle,
The seuenth is the Sabboth euery where:
Than thou shalt not thy hands with labour foyle,
Thou and thy sonne, thy daughter, mayd, and man,
That serueth thee, shall doe no labour than:
Thy cattell and, the stranger in thy gate,
Shall doe no worke, that day early nor late:
For in sixe dayes, thy Lord that all hath blest,
Made heauen and earth, and in the seuenth did rest.

Thou shalt honour, thy father and mother well,
(That long aliue, on earth safe thou maist dwell.)
(That long aliue, on earth safe thou maist dwell.)
Thou shalt not kill, for bloud craues bloud, or vengeance still.
Thou shalt not breake, true wedlockes band no way.
That knot and staffe, is an honourable stay.
Thou shalt not breake, true wedlockes band no way.
That knot and staffe, is an honourable stay.
Thou shalt not steale, for theeues robe Prince and common weale.
Thou shalt not beare, false witnes in any sorte,
For that may take, from iustice good report.
For that may take, from iustice good report.
Thou shalt not wish, thy neighbors house nor wife,
His man seruant, nor mayden for thy life,
His Oxe, his Asse, nor nothing that is his,
Liue with thine owne, as the Lords pleasure is.
