II Commandment Thou Shalt Not Make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself 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 showing mercy unto thousands of them that hate me and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

IV Commandment Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: but the seventh say is the Sabbath of the Lord the Guy: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them in, and rested the seventh day; Where-fore the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and Hallowed it.
