ANd then was geven me a rede lyke vn∣to a rodd / and it was sayd vntome: Ry∣se [ A] and mete the temple of god / & the au¦ltre / and them that worshippe therin and the* 1.1 quyre which is within the temple cast oute and mete it not: for it is gevyn vnto the gen∣tyles and the holy cite shall they treade vn∣der fote .xlii. monethes. And I will geve po∣wer vnto my two wytnesses / and they shall prophesy .M .iic. &. ly. dayes / clothed in sac¦ke cloth. These are two olyve trees / and two cādlestyckes / stōdinge before y^e god of y^e erth

And if eny man will hurt them / fyre shall procede out of their mouthes / and consume [ B] their ennemyes. And yf eny mā will hurt thē this wyse muste he be kylled. These have po¦wer to shut heven / that it rayne not in the da¦yes of their prophesyinge: and have power o∣ver waters to turne them to bloud / & to smyte the erth w^t almaner plages / as often as they will.

And when they have fynysshed their testi∣mony / the beste that cam oute of the bottom∣lesse pytt shall make warre agaynst them and shall overcome them / and kyll them. And the¦ir boddyes shall lye in the stretes of the grea∣te cite / which spritually is called zodom and Egypte / where oure lorde was crucified. And they of the people and kynredes / & tonges / & they of the nacions / shall se their bodyes .iii. dayes and an halfe / and shall not suffre the¦ir boddyes to be put in graves. And they that

dwell apon the erth / shall reioyce over them & be glad / and shall send gyftes one to another for these two prophetes vexed them y^• dwelt on the erth.

And after .iii. dayes and an halffe the spre∣te of lyfe from god / entred into thē. And they [ C] stode vp apō their fete: and greate feare came apon thē which sawe them. And they herde a greate voyce from heven / saying vnto thē. Co¦me vp hidder. And they ascended vp into heven in a cloude / & their ennemyes sawe thē. And y^e same houre was ther a gret erth qua∣ke / and the tenthe parte of the cite fell / and in the erth quake were slayne names of men se∣ven .M. and the remnaunt were feared / & ga∣ve glory to god of heven. The seconde woo is past / & beholde y^e thyrd woo wyll come anō

And the seventh angell blewe / and ther∣were [ D] made great voyces in hevē / sayinge: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure lordes & his christes / & he shall raygne for ever more. And the .xxiiii. elders / which sytt before god on their seates / fell apon their faces / and wor¦shipped God sayinge: we geve the thankes lorde God allmyghte: which arte and wast / and arte to come / for thou haste receaved thy great myght / and hast raygned. And the naci∣ons were angry / and thy wrath is come / and the tyme of y^e deed that they shuld be iudged & that thou shuldest geve rewarde vnto thy servauntes the prophettes and saynctes / and to them that feare thy name small and great and shuldest destroye them / which destroye y^e

erth. And the temple of God was openyd in hevē / & there was sene in his tēple / the arcke of his testamēt: and ther folowed lyghtnyn∣ges / and voyces / and thondrynges & erth qua¦ke / and moche hayle.
