Petitions.

This Prayer is the foundation whereupon, and the pattern whereby all our other prayers must be framed. In it we desire The PreGod our heavenly Father, who is the giver of all goodness, to send his grace unto us, and all others; that we may worship him, The serve him, and obey him, as we ought to do. And we pray unto him, that he would send us all things which be needful both for our souls and bodies; that he would be merciful unto us, and forgive us our sins; that it would please him to save and defend us in all our temptations, and preserve us from all dangers both ghostly and bodily. And forasmuch as we trust he will do all The Couthis of his mercy and goodness, through our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore we say, Amen, So be it.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

THE FIRST TABLE.

I.

GOD spake these words and said, I am the Lord thy God: thou shalt have none other gods but me.

II.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that 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.

III.

Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain.

IV.

Remember that 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 work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

THE SECOND TABLE.

V.

Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

VI.

Thou shalt do no murder.

VII.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

VIII.

Thou shalt not steal.

IX.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

X.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
