The ten Commandements in ten lines.
God spake these words, and said I am thy God,That brought thee from the power of Egypts rod,
And thou shalt have no other Gods but me,
Thou shalt not worship any Imagery;
Thou shalt not take my sacred Name in vain,
The holy Sabbath day thou shalt maintain;
Honor thy Parents, and thy daies I'le further
With length and plenty, Thou shalt do no murther:
Thou shalt no vile Adultery commit,
Thou shalt not steal, no nor purloin (by wit)
Thou shalt not bear false witness 'gainst thy Neighbor,
Nor covet what is his (by right, or labour.)
