¶ Of the man that toke whote burnynge coles out of the mydle of the wheles and of the Cherubyns, in token of the burnynge of Ierusalem. I rehersall of the vysyon of wheles of the beastes, and of the Cherubyns.

CAPI X.

AND as I loked, behold / in the fyrma [unspec A] ment that was aboue the Cherubyns there appered the symylytude of a stole of Saphyr vpon them: * 1.1 Then sayde he that sat therin, to him that had the lynen raymēt vpon hym: Crepe in betwene y^• wheles that are vnder the Cherubynes / and take thyne hande ful of hoate coales out from betwene the Cherubyns / and cast them ouer the cyte And he crepte in / that I myght se.

Now the Cherubins stode vpon the ryght side of the house, when the man went in, and the cloude fylled the inner courte. * 1.2 But the glory of the Lorde remoued from the Cheru¦byns / and came vpon the thresholde of the house: so that the temple was ful of cloudes, and the courte was full of the shyne of the Lordes glory. Yee / and the soūde of the Che∣rubynes wynges was hearde in to the fore courte / lyke as it had bene the voyce of the

almyghtye God, when he speaketh. Nowe when he had bydden the man that was clo∣thed in lynen / to go and take the hoate coa∣les from the myddest of the wheles / whiche were vnder the Cherubyns: he wente and stode besyde the wheles. Then the one Cherub reached forthe hys hande from vn∣der the Cherubyns / vnto the fyre that was betwene the Cherubyns / and toke therof / and gaue it vnto him that had on the lynen raymente in hys hande / whiche toke it / [unspec B] and wente out. And vnder the wynges of the Cherubyns / there appeared the lyck∣nesse of a mans hande: I sawe also foure wheles besyde the Cherubyns / so that by euery Cherub there stode a whele. And the wheles were (to loke vpon) after the fashion of the precyous stone of Tharsys: yet (vnto the syght) were they fashyoned and lyke / as yf one whele had bene in another. [unspec C]

When they wente forth / they wente all foure together, nat turnynge about in theyr goynge: But where the fyrst wente / thyther wente they after also / so that they turned nat aboute in theyr goynge. Theyr whole bodyes, theyr backes / theyr handes & wyn∣ges / yee, and the wheles also / were all ful of eyes rounde aboute them all foure. And I hearde hym call the wheles. * 1.3 Euery one of them had foure faces: so that one face was the face of a Cherub, the seconde of a man / the thyrde of a lyon / the fourth of an Aegle, and they were lyfted vp aboue. This is the beast / that I sawe at the water of Co∣ber. Nowe when the Cherubyns went / the wheles wente with them / and when the Ce∣rubyns shoke theyr wynges to lyfte them selues vpwarde, the wheles remayned nat behynde / but were with thē also. Shortly, when they stode / these stode also. And when they were lyfte vp, the wheles were lyfte vp also with them, for the sprete of lyfe was in the wheles. [unspec D]

* 1.4 Then the glory of the Lorde was lyfte vp from the thresholde of the temple / & re∣mayned vpon the Cherubins. And the Che∣rubyns flackred wyth theyr wynges. & lyfte them selues vp frō the earth: so that I sawe when they wente, and the wheles with thē. And they stode at the easte syde of the porte that is in the house of the Lorde. So the glo¦ry of the Lorde was vpon them. Thys is the beast that I sawe vnder the God of Is∣rael / by the water of Cobar. And I percea∣ued / that it was the Cherubyns. Euery one had foure faces / and euery one foure wyn∣ges / and vnder theyre wynges / as it were mens handes. Nowe the fygure of theyr fa∣ces was, euen as I had sene them, by the wa¦ter of Cober, and so was the countenaunce of them: Euery one in hys goynge wente strayght forwarde.
