, that is, “thou shalt not have for gods, the gods that other nations worship, but only me”; whereby they were forbidden to obey or honour as their king and governor, any other god than Him that spake unto them then by Moses, and afterwards by the high priest. 2. That they “should not make any image to represent Him,” that is to say, they were not to choose to themselves, neither in heaven, nor in earth, any representative of their own fancying, but obey Moses and Aaron, whom He had appointed to that office. 3. That “they should not take the name of God in vain”; that is, they should not speak rashly of their king, nor dispute his right, nor the commissions of Moses and Aaron, His lieutenants. 4. That “they should every seventh day abstain from their ordinary labour,” and employ that time in doing Him public honour. The second table containeth the duty of one man towards another, as “to honour parents,” “not to kill,” “not to commit adultery,” “not to steal,” “not to corrupt judgment by false witness,” and finally, “not so much as to design in their heart the doing of any injury one to another.” The question now is, who it was that gave to these written tables the obligatory force of laws.
