CAPI. VIII.

AND when he had opened the seuenth [unspec A] seale, there was silēce in heauen about the space of halfe an houre. And I sawe an∣gelles standynge before God, & to thē were geuē seuen trompettes. And another angell came and stode before the aultre, hauynge a goldē senser, & much of odoures was geuen vnto him, y^• he shulde offre of the prayers of all sainctes vpon y^• goldē aulter, which was before y^• seate. And the smoke of the odoures [unspec B] which cam of the prayers of all saynctes, as∣cended vp before God out of the Angelles hande. And the Angell toke the senser, and fylled it w^t fyre of the aulter, & cast it into the earth, & voyces were made, & thondrynges and lyghtnynges, and earthquake.

And the seuen Angels which had the se∣uen trōpettes, prepared thē selues to blow. The fyrst Angell blewe; & there was made hayle and fyre, whiche were myngled with bloude, and they were caste into the earth: and the thyrde part {fleur-de-lys} (of the earth was set on fyre, and the thyrde part) of trees was burnt, [unspec C] and all grene grasse was brente. And the se∣conde angell blewe: and as it were a greate mountayne burnynge w^t fyre was cast into the see, and the thrde part of the see tourned to bloude, & the thyrde part of the creatures whiche had lyfe, dyed, and the thyrde parte of shyppes were destroyed.

And the thyrde angel blewe, and there fell a greate starre from heauen, burnyng as it were a lampe, & it fell into the thyrde parte of the ryuers, & into fountaynes of waters, & the name of y^• starre is called wormwod. And the thyrde parte was turned to worm∣wod. [unspec D] And many men dyed of the waters be∣cause they were made bytter. And y^• fourth Angell blewe, & the thyrde part of the sunne was smytten, & the thyrde part of the mone, and the thyrde parte of starres: so that the thyrde parte of them was darckened. And the daye was smytten, that the thyrde part of it shulde not shyne, & lyke wyse the nyght. And I behelde and herde an Angell flyinge thorowe the myddest of the heauen, sayinge with a lowde voyce: woo, woo, woo, to the inhabyters of the earth, because of the voy∣ces to come of the trōpe of the thre Angels, whiche were yet to blowe.
