1 The notable companie of the lambe. 6 One angel announceth the Gospel. 8 Another, the fall of Babylon. 9 And the thirde warneth to flee from the beast. 13 Of their blessed∣nesse which dye in the Lorde. 18 Of the Lordes haruest.
[unspec A] 1 AND I loked, and lo, a lambe stoode on the mount Sion, and with hym an hundreth fourtie and foure thousande, hauyng his fathers name written in their foreheades.
2 And I hearde a voyce from heauen, as the sounde of many waters, and as
the voyce of a great thunder: And I hearde the voyce of harpers harpyng with their harpes:
3 And they song as it were a newe song before the throne, and before the foure beastes, & the elders, and no man coulde learne that song, but the hundreth and fourtie & foure thousande, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with womē, for they are virgins: These folowe the lambe whither soeuer he goeth: These were redeemed frō men, beyng the first fruites vnto God, and to the lambe.
5 And in their mouthes was founde no [unspec B] guile: For they are without spot before the throne of God.
6 And I sawe another angell flee in the middes of heauen, hauyng the euer∣lastyng Gospell, to preache vnto them that sit and dwel on the earth, and to all nations, and kinredes, and tongues, and people,
7 Saying with a loude voyce: * 1.1 Feare God, and geue honour to hym, for the houre of his iudgement is come: and worshippe hym that made heauen and earth, and the sea, and fountaynes of water.
8 And there folowed another angell, saying: * 1.2Babylon is fallen is fallen that great citie, for she made all nations drinke of the wyne of the wrath of her fornication.
[unspec C] 9 And the thirde angell folowed them, saying with a loude voyce: If any man worshippe the beast and his image, and receaue his marke in his foreheade, or on his hande,
10 The same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God: yea, of the pure wyne which is powred in ye cup of his wrath: And he shalbe punisshed in fyre & brim∣stone, before the holy angels, and before the lambe.
11 And the smoke of their torment ascen∣deth vp euermore: And they haue no rest day nor nyght which worship the beast and his image, and whosoeuer re∣ceaueth the prynt of his name.
12 Here is the pacience of the saintes: Here are they that kepe the commaundemen∣tes of God, and the fayth of Iesus.
13 And I hearde a voyce from heauen, saying vnto me, write: Blessed are the dead, which hereafter dye in the Lorde. Euen so sayth the spirite, that they rest from their laboures, and their workes folowe them.
14 And I loked, and beholde a whyte [unspec G] cloude, and vpon the cloude one sittyng lyke vnto the sonne of man, hauyng on his head a golden crowne, and in his hande a sharpe sickle.
15 And another angell came out of the temple, crying with a loude voyce to hym that sate on the cloude: * 1.3Thrust in thy sickle & reape, for the time is come to reape: for the haruest of ye earth is ripe.
16 And he that sate on the cloude thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angell came out of the temple which is in heauen, hau••ng also a sharpe sickle.
18 And I sawe another angell came out from the aulter, which had power ouer fyre, and cryed with a loude crye to hym that had the sharpe sickle, and sayde: Thrust in thy sharpe sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyarde of ye earth, for her grapes are ripe.
19 And the angell thrust in his sharpe sickle on the earth, and cut downe the grapes of the vineyarde of the earth, and cast them into the great wynefat of the wrath of God.
20 And the wynefat was troden without the citie, and blood came out of the fat, euen vnto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand & sixe hundreth furlonges▪
