The second Commandment.
Exod. 20. 4, 5, 6. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven Image, or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in he Earth beneath, or that is in the Waters under the Earth. Thou shalt not bow down thy self to them, nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the Children unto the third and fourth Generation of them that hate me; and •he wing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my Commandments.
This Commandment is more largely set down then the former, partly to clear the Mandatory part of it, and partly to press it; in which two it may be taken up.

The preceptive, or commanding part, is expressed in two things, v. 4. and v. 5. at the beginning. 1. That no Image be made: And 2. That it be not worshipped.
