¶ The Angels power out theyr vyalles ful of wrath.

CAPI. XVI.

ANd I herde a great voyce out of the [unspec A] temple sayinge to the seuen Angels, go youre wayes, poure out your vyalles of wrath vpon the erth. And the fyrste Angell went, and powred out his Uyall vpon the erth, and there fell a noysome & a sore botche vpon the men whiche had the marcke of the beast, and vpon thē which worshypped hys ymage. And the seconde Angel shed out his vyall vpon the see, and it turned as it were into the bloude of a dead man: and euery ly¦uyng thyng dyed in the see. And the thyrde Angel shed out his viall vpon the ryuets &

fountaynes of waters, and they turned to bloude. And I herde an angell say: Lorde, whiche arte and waste, thou art ryghtuous and holy, because thou hast giuen suche iud¦gementes, for they shed out the bloud of sai∣tes, and Prophetes, & therfore haste y^u genē thē bloude to dryncke: for they are worthy. And I herde another out of the aulter saye: euen so Lorde God almyghtye, true & righ∣tuous are thy iudgementes.

And y^e fourth angel powred out his vial on the sunne, & power was gyuen vnto him to vexe men with heate of fyre. And the men raged in great heat: & spake euil of the name of god, which hath power ouer those plages and they repēted not, to giue him glory. And the fyft angel powred out his vial vpon the seate of the beast, and his kyngdome wexed darcke, & they gnewe their tonges for sorow and blasphemed the God of heauen for so∣rowe and paine, of their sores, and repented not of their dedes.

And the syxt Angel powred out his vial [unspec C] vpon the gret ryuer Euphrates, and the wa¦ter dryed vp; that the wayes of the kynges of the east shulde be prepared. And I sawe thre vncleane spirites lyke frogg{is} come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false Prophete. For they are the spirites of deuyls, workyng myracles, to go out vn¦to the kynges of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battayle of the great day of God almyghty. Beholde, I come as a thefe. Happy is he that watcheth and kepeth his garmentes, left he walke na¦ked, & men se his 〈◊〉〈◊〉. And he gathered them togyther into a place called in the He∣brue tonge Armagedon.

And the seuenth angell powred out hys vial into y^e ayre. And there came a gret voy∣ce out of the tēple of heauen from the seate, saying, it is done. And there 〈◊〉〈◊〉, voices, thondrynges, & lyghtnynges, & there was a great earthquake, such as was not sence mē were vpō the earth, so mighty an erthquake & so great. And the great cytie was deuided into thre parties, & the cities of all nacyons fel. And great Babilon came in remēbraūce before God, to gyue vnto her the cup of the wyne of the fearcenes of his wrath. Euery yle also fled awaye, & the mountaynes were not founde. And there fel a great haile (as it had bene talentes) out of heauen vpon the men, and the men blasphemed God: because of the plage of the hayle, for it was great & the plage of it sore.
