The Preface:
And God spake all these Words and said, I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the Land of Egypt, out of the House of Bondage.
1. Thou shalt have none other Gods but me.
Lord have Mercy upon me, and Incline my Heart to keep this Law.
II. Thou shalt not make to thy self any Graven Image, nor the likeness of any thing which is in Heaven above, or in the Earth beneath, or 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 Fathers upon the Children unto the third and fourth Generation, of them that hate me, and show Mercy unto thousands in them that love me and keep my Commandments.
