Original Douay–Rheims AnnotationsDeuteronomy 5

Thou shalt not make.

If our adversaries would quietly consider the coherence of the holy text, they might easily see, that this prohibition of making and worshipping the similitude of any creature, pertaineth to the former sentence: ^◦ Thou shalt not have strange gods: more particularly forbidding either to make Idols, or to worship such as others make; and that with commination, because our Lord is a jealous God, and will not suffer his honour to be given to any creature. But other Images were made in the old Testament, by God's commandment, and likewise Images of Christ and his Saints are lawful and profitable among Christians, as before is noted. Exod. 20.

• ◦ Images of Idols forbid, but not of other things.
