[verse 1] And Y say an aungel comynge doun fro heuene, hauynge the keie of depnesse, and a greet chayne in his hoond. [verse 2] And he cauȝte the dragoun, the elde serpent, that is the deuel and Sathanas; and he boonde hym bi a thousynde ȝeeris. [verse 3] And he sente hym `in to [to the k.] depnesse, and clos|ide on [and markide on K.] hym, that he disseyue no more the folkis, til a thousynde ȝeeris be fillid. Aftir these thingis it bihoueth hym to be vnboundun a litil tyme. [verse 4] And Y say seetis, and thei [thei that Eabek pr. m. β.] saten on hem, and doom was ȝouun to hem. And the soulis of men biheedid for the witnessyng of Jhe|su,

and for the word of God, and hem that worschipiden not the beeste, nether the ymage of it, nethir token the carect [carectir E.] of it in her forheedis, nethir in her hoondis. And thei lyueden, and regneden with Crist a thousynde ȝeeris. [verse 5] Othere [And othre R.] of deed men lyueden not, til a thousynde ȝeeris ben [weren I.] endid. This is the first aȝen risynge. [verse 6] Blessid and hooli is he, that hath part in the firste aȝenrysyng. In these men the secunde deth hath not power; but thei schulen be prestis of God, and of Crist, and thei schulen regne with hym a thousynde ȝeeris. [verse 7] And whanne a thousynde ȝeeris schulen be endid, Sathanas schal be vnboundun of his prisoun; and he schal go out, and schal disseyue folkis, that ben on foure corners of [on a.] the erthe, Gog and Magog. And he schal gadere hem in to batel, whos noumbre is as the grauel of the see. [verse 8] And thei stieden vp on the brood|nesse of erthe [the erthe k.] , and enuyrounede the castels of seyntis, and the louyd citee. [verse 9] And fier cam doun `of God [Om. k pr. m.] fro heuene, and deuourede hem. And the deuel, that disseyuede hem, was sent in to the [verse 10] pool of fier and of [Om. K pr. m. β.] brymston, where bothe the beeste and fals prophetis schu|len be turmentid dai and niȝt, in to worldis of worldis. [verse 11] Amen. And Y say a greet white trone, and oon sittynge on it, fro whos siȝt erthe fled and heuene; and the place [place of hem R.] is not foundun `of hem [Om. R.] . [verse 12] And Y sai deed men, grete and smale, stondynge in the siȝt of the trone; and bookis weren opened, and [and anothir book was opened, that [which β] is, the book of lijf; and A marg. g sec. m. marg. Oαβ. and anothir booke is openid, which is the boke of lijf; and R.] deed men weren demed of these thingis that weren writun in the bookis, aftir the werkis of hem. [verse 13] And the see ȝaf his deed men, that weren in it; and deth and helle

ȝauen her deed men, that weren in hem. And it was demed of ech, aftir the werkis of hem. [verse 14] And helle and deth weren sent in to a [the Ebgkα.] poole of fier. `This is the secunde deth [Om. O.] . [verse 15] And he that was not foundun writun [Om. bk pr. m.] in the book of lijf, was sent in to the [Om. R.] pool of fier.
