ANd I sawe a best rise out of the see / ha∣vinge vii. heddes / and x. hornes / & apon [ A] hys hornes x. crownes / and apon his heed / the name of blasphemy. And the beast* 1.1 which I sawe / was lyke a catt of the mountay¦ne / and his fete were as the fete of a bear / and his mouth as the mouthe of a lyon. And the
And ther was a mouth gevē vnto him that [ B] spake great thinges and blasphemies / and po¦wer was gevē vnto him / to do xlii. monethes And he opened his mowth vnto blasphemy agaynst God / to blaspheme hys name / and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heven. And it was geven vnto him to make warre with the saynctes▪ & to overcome them. And power was geven him over all kynred / tonge / and nacion: and all that dwell apon the erth worshipt him: whose names are not written in the boke of lyfe of the lambe / which was kylled from the begynnynge of the worlde. Yf eny man have an eare / lett him heare. He that leadeth into captivite / shall goo into cap∣tivite: he that kylleth with a swearde / must be kylled with a swearde. Heare is the pacience / and the fayth of the saynctes.
And I behelde another best commynge vp [ C] * 1.2 oute of the erth / and he had two hornes like a lambe / and he spake as dyd the dragon. And he dyd all that the fyrste beest coulde do in his presence / and he caused the erth / and them which dwell therin / to worshippe the fyrst beest / whose dedly woūde was healed. And he dyd grett wonders / so that he made fyre come doune from heven in the syght of men. And deceaved them that dwelt on the erth by the meanes of those signes which he had power to doo in the sight of the beest / sayinge to thē that dwelt on the erth: that they shuld make an ymage vnto the beest / which had the woū∣de of a swearde / and dyd lyve.
And he had power to geve a sprete vnto the [ D] ymage of the beest / and that the ymage of the beest shuld speake / and shuld cause that as many as wolde not worshyppe the ymage of the beest / shuld be kylled. And he made all bo∣the sinale and grett / ryche and poore / fre and bond / to receave a marke in their right hondes / or in their forheddes. And that no mā myght by or sell / save he that had the marke / or the name of the beest / other the nombre of his na¦me. Here is wisdome. Let him that hath wytt count the nombre of the beest. For it is the nombre of a man / and his nombre is sixe hon¦dred / threscore and sixe.
