¶The .xx. Chapter.
2 Satan beyng bounde for a certayne tyme, 7 and after let loose, ••ereth the Churche greeuouslye. 10.14. And after the worlde is iudged, he and his are cast into the lake of fire.
[unspec A] 1 AND I sawe an angel come downe from heauen, ha∣uyng the key of the bottomelesse pytte, and a great chaine in his hand
2 And he toke the dragon, that olde serpent, which is the deuyll and Sa∣tanas, and he bounde hym a thousand yeres.
3 And cast hym into the bottomlesse pit, and he shut hym vp, and set a seale on hym, that he shoulde deceaue the people no more, tyll the thousande yeres were fulfylled: and after that, he must be loosed for a litle season.
[unspec B] 4 And I sawe thrones, and they sate vpon them, and iudgement was geuen vnto them: and I sawe the soules of them that were beheaded for the wit∣nesse of Iesus, and for the word of God, and whiche had not worshipped the beast neither his image, neither had ta∣ken his marke vpon their foreheades, or in their handes: and they lyued and raigned with Christe a thousand yeres.
5 But the other of the dead men shall not lyue agayne, vntyll the thousande yeres be finished. This is the first resur∣rection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: For on such shal the seconde death haue no power, but they shalbe the priestes of God and of Christe, and shall raigne with hym a thousande yeres.
7 * 1.1And when the thousande yeres are expired, Satan shalbe loosed out of his pryson.
8 And shall go out to deceaue the people [unspec C] which are in the foure quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battayle, whose number is as the sande of the sea.
9 And they went vp in the playne of the earth, and compassed the tentes of the saintes about, and the beloued citie: and fire came downe from God out of hea∣uen, and deuoured them:
10 And the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fire & brymstone, where the beast and the false prophete shalbe tormented day & nyght for euer∣more.
11 And I sawe a great whyte throne, and him that sate on it, frō whose face fledde away both the earth and heauen, and their place was no more founde.
