The Ten Commandments For Children

I have been doing a lot of studying on parenting lately. The reason for this new found desire is obvious; I now have children! I am compiling a book from the Puritans writings of how they educated their children in the tenants of the faith. In my studies today I found this Rhyme for the Ten Commandments. I trust you will find this rhyme helpful in teaching your children God's commandmnents.

1. THOU shalt have no more gods but me.
2. Before no idol bend thy knee.
3. Take not the name of God in vain.
4. Dare not the Sabbath day profane.
5. Give both thy parents honor due.
6. Take heed that thou no murder do.
7. Abstain from words and deeds unclean.
8. Steal not, though thou be poor and mean.
9. Make not a willful lie, nor love it.
10. What is thy neighbors dare not covet.
