20.4 Non facies, etc. ORIG. Non facies tibi ipsi idolum, neque omnem similitudinem, etc. Aliud sunt idola, aliud dii. De diis enim dicit Apostolus, I Cor. 8: Si quidem sunt dii multi, et domini multi, etc. De idolis vero, quia nil est idolum in mundo; de similitudinibus autem non addidit, quia nil sunt. Hic autem dicitur: Non facies tibi idolum, neque similitudinem omnem. Aliud est ergo facere idolum, aliud similitudinem. Verbi causa, si quis in auro et argento, ligno vel lapide, faciat speciem quadrupedis, vel serpentis, vel avis, et statuat adorandum, non idolum sed similitudinem facit. Qui vero facit quod non est, speciem scilicet quam oculus non vidit, sed animus sibi fingit; ut si quis humanis membris caput canis aut arietis formet, vel in uno hominis habitu duas facies, aut humano pectori postremas partes equi aut piscis; qui hoc facit, non similitudinem, sed idolum facit: facit enim quod non est, nec habet aliquid simile sui. Ideo dicit Apostolus quia idolum nihil est in mundo I Cor. 8.. Non enim aliqua ex rebus constantibus assumitur species, sed quod mens otiosa et curiosa reperit. Similitudo vero est cum aliquid ex his quæ sunt vel in cœlo, vel in terra, vel in aquis formatur: sed non sicut de his quæ in terra sunt vel in mari similitudinibus promptum est pronuntiare: ita etiam de cœlestibus; nisi quis dicat de sole, et luna, et stellis hoc posse sentiri, quorum formas exprimit gentilitas. Sed Moses eruditus omni sapientia Ægyptiorum etiam quæ apud illos erant in occultis prohibere cupiebat, sicut Hecatem aliaque dæmonum formas, quæ Apostolus spiritualia nequitiæ in cœlestibus vocat Ephes. VI; de quibus forte dicitur: Inebriatus est gladius meus in cœlo Isa. 34.. His enim formis et similitudinibus invocabant dæmonia ad repellenda vel vitanda mala. Sciendum tamen quia cum decreveris hoc servare mandatum, et habere unum tantum Deum et Dominum, hoc est bellum denuntiare omnibus aliis, quibus in baptismo renuntiasti, solum Deum confitens Patrem et Filium et Spiritum sanctum. Sed hoc confitentes nisi toto corde diligamus Dominum Deum nostrum, tota anima, tota virtute ei adhærentes, non sumus effecti pars Domini, sed in confinio positi illos patimur offensos quos fugimus, et ad quem fugimus, propitium non efficimus. Quibus propheta dicit: Væ duplici animo Eccli. 2.. Et iterum: Usquequo claudicatis utroque pede? III Reg. 18. Ab illis ergo quasi fugaces cædimur, et a Domino nostro quasi instabiles non defendimur, unde Jer. 4: Amatores tui inimici facti sunt tibi. Multi sunt animæ amatores, capti decore ejus, cum quibus meretricata est, dicens. Post amatores meos ibo qui dant mihi vinum meum, etc. Ose. 2.: hos offendit reversa ad virum priorem. Nisi ergo tota fide permaneas cum viro tuo, pro sceleribus quæ commisisti suspectus es; omnes motus tuos, aspectus et incessus notat; nil ultra in te lascivum videre, nihil dissolutum vel prodigum potest. Si ergo acceptam gratiam negligis, et implicas te sæcularibus negotiis, continuo immundus spiritus redit cum septem nequioribus Matth. 12., ne iterum expelli possit, et fiunt novissima pejora prioribus. Nulla ergo societas templo Dei cum idolis. Si Dei sumus, tales esse debemus in quibus habitet et inambulet Deus; unde Isa. LII: Qui portatis vasa Domini, exite et immundum nolite tangere, et ego recipiam vos, etc. Dicit ergo: Non erunt tibi dii alii præter me.

20.4 Non facies, etc. ORIG. Non facies to_you ipsi idolum, neque omnem similitudinem, etc. Aliud are idola, aliud dii. De diis because dicit Apostolus, I Cor. 8: When/But_if quidem are dii multi, and domini multi, etc. De idolis vero, because nil it_is idolum in mundo; about similitudinibus however not/no addidit, because nil are. Hic however it_is_said: Non facies to_you idolum, neque similitudinem omnem. Aliud it_is ergo facere idolum, aliud similitudinem. Verbi causa, when/but_if who/any in auro and argento, ligno or lapide, let_him_do speciem quadrupedis, or serpentis, or avis, and statuat adorandum, not/no idolum but similitudinem facit. Who vero facit that not/no it_is, speciem scilicet how oculus not/no vidit, but animus sibi fingit; as when/but_if who/any humanis membris caput canis aut arietis formet, or in uno hominis habitu duas facies, aut humano pectori postremas partes ewho aut piscis; who hoc facit, not/no similitudinem, but idolum facit: facit because that not/no it_is, but_not habet aliquid simile sui. Ideo dicit Apostolus because idolum nihil it_is in mundo I Cor. 8.. Non because aliqua ex rebus constantibus assumitur species, but that mens otiosa and curiosa reperit. Similitudo vero it_is when/with aliquid ex his which are or in cœlo, or in terra, or in awho/any formatur: but not/no like about his which in earth/land are or in mari similitudinibus promptum it_is pronuntiare: ita also about cœlestibus; nisi who/any dicat about sole, and luna, and stellis hoc posse sentiri, quorum formas exprimit gentilitas. Sed Moses eruditus all sapientia Ægyptiorum also which apud those they_were in occultis prohibere cupiebat, like Hecatem aliaque dæmonum formas, which Apostolus spiritualia nequitiæ in cœlestibus vocat Ephes. VI; about to_whom forte it_is_said: Inebriatus it_is gladius mine in cœlo Isa. 34.. His because formis and similitudinibus invocabant demons to repellenda or vitanda mala. Sciendum tamen because when/with decreveris hoc servare mandatum, and habere unum only God and Dominum, hoc it_is bellum denuntiare omnibus aliis, to_whom in baptismo renuntiasti, solum God confitens Patrem and Son and Spiritum sanctum. Sed hoc confitentes nisi toto corde diligamus Dominum God nostrum, tota anima, tota virtute to_him adhærentes, not/no sumus effecti pars Domini, but in confinio positi those patimur offensos which fugimus, and to which fugimus, propitium not/no efficimus. Quibus propheta dicit: Alas duplici animo Eccli. 2.. And iterum: Usquequo claudicatis utroque pede? III Reg. 18. Ab illis ergo as_if fugaces cædimur, and a Domino nostro as_if instabiles not/no defendimur, whence Yer. 4: Amatores yours inimici facti are tibi. Multi are animæ amatores, capti decore his, when/with to_whom meretricata it_is, dicens. Post amatores meos ibo who dant mihi vinum mine, etc. Ose. 2.: hos offendit reversa to virum priorem. Nisi ergo tota fide permaneas when/with to_the_man tuo, pro sceleribus which commisisti suspectus es; everyone motus tuos, aspectus and incessus notat; nil ultra in you(sg) lascivum videre, nihil dissolutum or prodigum potest. When/But_if ergo acceptam gratiam negligis, and implicas you(sg) sæcularibus negotiis, continuo immundus spiritus redit when/with seven nequioribus Matth. 12., ne iterum expelli possit, and fiunt novissima peyora prioribus. Nulla ergo societas templo God when/with idolis. When/But_if God sumus, tales esse debemus in to_whom habitet and inambulet God; whence Isa. LII: Who portatis vasa Domini, exite and immundum nolite tangere, and I recipiam vos, etc. Dicit ergo: Non erunt to_you dii alii præter me.

BRN Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

BrLXX Οὐ ποιήσεις σεαυτῷ εἴδωλον, οὐδὲ παντὸς ὁμοίωμα, ὅσα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω, καὶ ὅσα ἐν τῇ γῇ κάτω, καὶ ὅσα ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς.
