David being one of the true 1israelites hath made a vow to keep this most holy precept. And as he hath this vow, so will he labour to perform it. For it is not unfaithful nor foolish, but agreeable to the scripture, neither doth it provoke the keeper of it unto much inconue ⟨image 53⟩niece & absurdity, but rather unto great virtue & holiness. So that he is fully bent to perform his vow Let the unfaithful Idolaters wor ship what Idol or false God they list. David will surely cleave to this one & alone true God. For in his hart shall none sit but this one God alone, neither will he admit so much as the shadow of any other to be joined with him, & to have fellowship with his God. This his God alone will he worship, honour & lerue. This his God alone will he how & do reverence unto. This his God alone will he love with all his heart, mind, soul, & with all his powers. This his God alone will 2he magnify & praise for ever & ever And because he may not once be moved by any vain spectacle, & seduced from the honour, worship and service of this god unto any image service & Idolatry, he hath made a ⟨image 53⟩sure vow & faithful promise, that he will make no graven Image, idol, or mawmet, but he will only cleave to this his one & alone God, & serve him not in external 3ceremonies, but in spirit & trueth. For con founded be all they, & shame lighten on them, saith he, that worship 4graven images, & glory in their maw metes and Idols.
