To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God himself says, that he shows mercy to thousands of those that love him, and keep his Commandments. — Exod. Xx. 6. " God, " says St. Paul, " is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able to bear. " — 1 Cor. X. 13. Q. Do not Protestants divide the first table into four Com- mandments ? A. Yes; but this is one of their errors. They divide the first Commandment into two, and hence, they are compelled to make only one of the ninth and tenth Commandments. Now, the latt...er part of the first Commandment is only an explanation of the former. These words, " thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, " and " thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them, for I am the Lord thy God, " are only an explanation of the great com- mand given in these first words, " Thou shalt have no other Gods but me. " Q, . But why this explanation to this command alone ? A. Because the Israelites were much given to idolatry, as is clear from their history, and hence, for this peculiar sin, to which they were so much addicted, God supplies a peculiar antidote in the above explanation appended to the command.
