¶The second Commandment.
¶The second Commaundement.
Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven image,1 nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, nor in the earth beneath, nor in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them: For I the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: and show mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my Commandments.
