1 THen GOD,a spake all these wordes, saying,

2 *I am the Lord thy God, which haue broght thee out of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Egypt, out of the hou se of“ bondage.

3 Thou shalt haue none other godsb before me.

4 *Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, ne ther anie similitude (of things) that are in heauen aboue, nether that are in the earth beneth, nor that are in the waters vnder the earth.

5 Thou shalt notc bowe downe to them, ne∣ther serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, ad ielouse God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third (generacion) and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:

6 And shewing mercie vntoe thousandes to them that loue me and kepe my comman∣dements.

7 *Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy GOD inf vaine: for the Lord wil not holde him giltles that taketh his Name in vaine.

8 Remembre the Sabbath daie,g to kepe it holy,

9 *Six daies shalt thou labour, and do all thy worke,

10 But the seuenth daie (is) the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: (in it) thou shalt not do anie worke, thou, nor thy sōne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy maid, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy“ gates.

11 *For in six daies the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth daie: therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath daie, and hal∣lowed it.

12 ¶* Honour thyh father and thy mother, that thy daies maie be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

13 *Thou shal noti kil.

14 Thou shalt notk commit adulterie.

15 Thou shal notl steale.

16 Thou shalt not beare falsem witnes against thy neighbour.

17 *Thou shalt notn couet thy neighbours house, nether shalt thou couet thy neigh∣bours wife, nor his man seruāt, nor hismaid, nor his oxe, nor his asse, nether any thyng that is thy neighbours.

18 ¶And all the people“ sawe the thunders, and the” lightenings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smokyng, and when the people sawe it they fled and stode a farre of.

19 And said vnto Mosés, * Talke thou with vs and we wil heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we dye.

20 Then Mosés said vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come too proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sin ne not.

21 So the people stode a far of, but Mosés drewe nere vnto darcknes where God (was)

22 ¶And the Lorde said vnto Mosés, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israél, Ye haue sene that I haue talked with you from heauen.

23 Ye shal not make (therefore) with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.

24 *An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me and thereon shalt offre thy burnt offrings, & thy * peace offrings, thy shepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shal put the remē brance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.

25 *But if thou wilt make me an altar of stone thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for (if) thou lift vp thy tole vpon thē, thou hast polluted” them.

26 Nether shalt thou go vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thyp filthines be not discoue red thereon.
