〈♫〉〈♫〉 AT tend my people & geue eare, of fer∣ly 〈♫〉〈♫〉 things I wil thee tel{punctel} Se that my words in 〈♫〉〈♫〉 mind thou bear, And to my precepts listen wel.

[verse 1] I am thy Souerayne Lorde and God, Whiche haue thee brought from carefull thrall: And eke reclaymed from Pharos rod. Make thee no Gods on them to call. [verse 2] Nor facyoned forme of any thyng, In heauen, or earth to worship it: For I thy God by reuengyng, With greuous plages this syn will smite, [verse 3] Take not in vayne his holy name, Abuse it not after thy will: For so thou might soone purchase blame, And in his wrath he would thee spill. [verse 4] The Lorde from worke the seuenth day cest, And brought all thinges to perfect end: So thou and thyne that day take rest

That to Gods hests ye may attend. [verse 5] Unto thy parents honor geue, As Gods commaundements doo pretende, That thou long dayes, and good maies liue, In earth, where God a place doth lende, [verse 6] Beware of muder, and cruell hate, [verse 7] All fylthy fornication feare: [verse 8] Se thou steale not in any rate, [verse 9] False witnes against no man beare, [verse 10] Thy neyghbors house with not to haue His wyfe, or ought that he caleth mine, His field, his oxe, his asse, his sclaue, Or any thing, whiche is not thine.
