Deuteronomy 10:16-22

16 Circumcyse therfore the foreskynne of youre hartes, and be no longer sciffnecked.

17 For the Lorde youre God, he is God of goddes and lorde of lordes, a greate God, a myghtye and a terreble which regardeth no mans person nor taketh giftes:

18 but doeth right vnto the fatherlesse and wedowe and loueth the straunger, to geue him fode and rayment.

19 Loue therfore the straunger, for ye were straungers youre selues in the londe of Egipte.

20 Thou shalt feare the Lorde thi God and serue him and cleaue vnto him ad swere by his name,

21 for he is thi prayse ad he is thi God that hath done these greate and terreble thinges for the, which thine eyes haue sene.

22 Thi fathers went doune in to Egipte with .lxx. soules, ad now the Lorde thi God hath made the as the starres of heauen in multitude.
