The summe of the Tenne Commandements.
1 None but Iehova haue for God,
2 No Creature worship thou,
3 Take not Gods holy Name in vaine,
4 Keepe well the Sabboth now,
5 Thy Parents honor and obey,
6 No murder once commit,
7 Be none adulterer at all,
8 Steale not by hand or wit,
9 False witnesse beare thou not, I say,
10 Ne couet not in heart,
Thy neighbors wife, seruant or goods,That God gaue for his part.
These Ten Commandements we deuide,Still into Tables twaine:And take them for our spirituall guide,And our direction plaine.First to the worship of our God,And then to Christian loue:That we may shunne the fiery rod,And liue in heauen aboue.
Then doe not like to Papists adde,Nor take from this his Law,But downe with Images and all,And euer liue in Awe.And as the Lord did make vs all,So let him teach vs too:For he knowes what is best for vs,And we blind what to doe.
FINIS.
