[The Pentateuch]

The .xij. Chapter.

These are the ordinances and laws which ye shall observe to do in the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth the to possess it, as long as ye live upon the ⟨image 342⟩earth. See that ye destroy all places where the nations which ye conquer serve their gods, upon high mountains and on high hills and under every green tree. Overthrow their alters and break their pillars and burn their groves with fire and hew down the images off their gods, and bring the names of them to nought out of that place.

THese are the ordinaunces and lawes which ye shall obserue to doo in the londe which the Lorde God of thy fathers geueth the to possesse it, as longe as ye lyue vppon the ⟨image 342⟩erth. Se that ye destroye all places where the nacyons which ye conquere serue their goddes, vppon hye mountaynes and on hye hilles and vnder euery grene tree. Ouerthrowe their alters and breake their pylers and burne their groues with fyre and hewdowne the ymages off theyr goddes, and brynge the names of them to noughte out of that place.

See ye do not so unto the Lord your God but ye shall inquire the place which the Lord your God shall have chosen out of all your tribes to put his name there and there to dwell. And thither thou shalt come, and thither ye shall bring your burnt sacrifices and your offerings, your tithes and heave offerings off your hands, your vows and freewill offerings and thy first borne off your oxen and off your sheep. And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye lay your hands on: both ye and your households, because the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
