¶ The .xiiii. Chapter. ✚

ANd I loked / and loo a lambe stode on [ A] * 1.1 the mount Syon / and with him C. and xliiii. thousande havynge his fathers name written in their forhedes. And I herde a voyce from heven / as the sounde of many waters / and as the voyce of a gret thoundre / And I herde the voyce of harpers harpynge with their harpes. And they songe as it were a newe songe / before the seate / and be∣fore the foure beestes / and the elders / and no man coulde learne that songe / but the hon∣dred and xliiii. M. which were redemed from the erth. These are they / which were not de∣fyled with wemen / for they are virgyns. The∣se folowe the lambe whither soever he goeth. These were redemed from men beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe / & in their mouthes was foūde no gyle. For they

are with outē spott before the trone of god. ⊢

And Isawe an angell flye in the myddes of heven havynge an everlastynge gospell / to [ E] preache vnto them that sytt and dwell on the erth / and to all nacions / kinreddes / and tonge and people sayinge with a lowde voyce: Feare God and geve honour to him / for the houre of his iudgement is come: and worshyppe him / * 1.2 that made heven and erth / & the see / and foun∣taynes

of water. And there folowed another angell / sayinge: Babilon is fallen is fallen that gret cite / for she made all nacions dryn∣ke of the wyne of hyr fornicacion.

And the thyrde angell folowed them sayin¦ge with aloude voyce: Yf eny man worshippe the beest and his ymage / and receave his mar¦ke in his forhed / or on his honde / the same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God which is powred in the cuppe of his wrath. And he shalbe punnysshed in fyre and brym∣stone / before the holy Angels / and before the lambe.

And the smoke of their turment ascendeth [ C] vp evermore. And they have no rest daye ner nyght / which worshippe y^e beast and his yma¦ge / and whosoever receaveth the prynt of his name. Here is the pacience of saynctes. Heare are they that kepe the commaundmentes and the fayth of Iesu.

And I herde a voyce from heven sayinge vnto me: wryte. Blessed are the deed / which he¦re after dye in the lorde / even soo sayth the spre¦te: that they maye rest frō their laboures / but* 1.3 their workes shall folowe them. And I loked [ D] and beholde a whyte clowde / and apon the clowde one syttynge lyke vnto the sonne of man / havynge on his heed a goldē crowne / & in his honde a sharpe sykle. And another an∣gell came oute of the temple / cryinge with a lowde voyce to him that sate on the clowde. Thruste in thy sycle and repe: for the tyme is* 1.4 come to repe / for the corne of the erth is rype.

And he that sate on the clowde thrust in his sykle on the erth / and the erth was reped.

And another angell came oute of the tem∣ple / which is in heven / havynge also a sharpe sycle. And another angell came oute from y^t aultre / which had power over fyre / and cryed with a lowde crye to him that had the sharpe sykle / and sayde; thrust in thy sharpe sykle / & gaddre the clusters of the erth for her grapes

are rype. And the angell thrust in his sykle on the erth / and cut doune the grapes of the vyneyarde of the erth: and cast them into the gret wynefat of the wrath of god / and the wy¦nefat was trodden with out the cite / & bloud came oute of the fat / evē vnto the hors bryd¦les by the space of a thowsande and .vi. C. furlonges.
