2 Thou shalt make to thee no graven Image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor in the water 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 ⟨p. 813⟩fathers upon the children unto the third & fourth generation of them that hate me, & show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

4 Remember thou keep holy the sabbath day, six days shalt thou labour and do all that thou hast to do, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner of works, thou, and thy son, & thy daughter, thy man-servant, & thy maid servant, thy cattle, & the stranger, that is within thy gate. For in six days the Lord made heaven & earth, the sea & all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it.
