6¶ I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the lande of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 7Thou shalt haue none other gods before me. 8Thou shalt not make thee any grauen image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. 9Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe vnto them, nor serue them: for I the Lord thy God am a ielous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 10And shewing mercy vnto thousands, of them that loue me, and keepe my commandements.
