may be said at the Lord's Supper and in individual prayers. All may be read; the commandments are always said.
GOD spake these words and said;
I am the Lord thy God
Thou shalt have none other gods but me.
People Lord have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader 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.
People Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader 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.
People Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader 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 man-servant, 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.
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader Honour thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader Thou shalt do no murder
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader Thou shalt not commit adultery
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader Thou shalt not steal
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Leader 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.
People Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.SUMMARY
Hear also what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
or
Jesus said, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
