A brief exposition of the Ten Commandments and the Lords Prayer by Symon Patrick ...

Exodus XX.

GOD spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2 Thou shalt not make unto thée any graven image, nor any likeness of any thing, that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thy self to them, nor serve them: For I the LORD thy God am a Iealous God, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the chil∣dren, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my Commaundments.

3 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his name in vain.

4 Remember the Sabbath day to kéep it holy: Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh∣ter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy Cat∣tel, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six

days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

5 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thée.

6 Thou shalt not kill.

7 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8 Thou shalt not steal.

9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh∣bour.

10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his oxe, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbours.
