ANd after that I sawe another angell [ A] come from heven / havinge gret power / and the erth was lyghtned with hys bryghtnes. And he cryed myghtyly with a* 1.1 stronge voyce sayinge: Great Babilon is fal¦len / ys fallen / and ys become the habitation of devels / and the holde of all fowle sprettes / and a cage of all vnclene and hatefull byrdes for all nacions have dronken of the wyne of the wrath of her fornycacion. And the kyn∣ges
And I herde another voyce from heven sa∣ye: come a waye from her my people / that ye be not parttakers in her synnes / that ye recea¦ve not of her plages. For her synnes are gon vp to heven / and God hath remembred her
wyckednes. Rewarde her even as she rewar∣ded you / and geve her dubble accordynge to her workes. And poure in dubble to her in the same cuppe which she fylled vnto you. And as moche as she gloryfied her silfe and lyved wantanly / so moche poure ye in for her of pu∣nysshment / and sorowe / for she sayde in her herte: I sytt beinge a quene and am no wyd∣dowe and shall se no sorowe. Therfore shall* 1.2 her plages come at one daye / deeth / and soro∣we / and honger / and she shallbe brent with fyre: for stronge ys the lorde god which iud∣geth her. [ C]
And the kynges of the erth shalbe wepe her and wayle over her / which have committed fornicacion with her / and have lyved wantan¦ly with her / when they shall se the smoke of her burnynge / and shall stonde a farre of / for feare of her punnysshment / sayinge: Alas / A∣las / that gret cite Babilon / that myghty cite: For at won houre is her iudgment come. And the marchauntes of the erth shall wepe and wayle in them selves / for no man wyll bye their ware eny more / the ware of golde / & silver / & precious stones / nether of pearle / and raynes / and purple / & skarlet / and all thyne [ D] wodde / and almanner vessels of yvery / and al∣manner vessels of most precious wodde / and of brasse / and of yron / and synamon / and o∣dours / and oyntmentes / and frankynsence / and wyne / and oyle / and fyne floure / and whea¦te / bestes / and shepe / and horsys / and charret∣tes / and boddyes and soules of men.
And the apples that thy soule lusted after / are departed frō the. And all thynges which were deyntie / and had in pryce ar departed frō the / and thou shalt fynde them no more. The marchaūntes of these thynges which were wexed ryche shall stonde a farre of from her / [ E] for feare of the punyshment of her / wepyn∣ge and waylynge / and saying: alas alas / that grett cite / that was clothed in raynes / and pur¦ple / and scarlett / and decked with golde / and precious stone / and pearles: for at one houre so great ryches ys come to nought
And every shippe governer / & all they that occupied shippes / and shippmen which wor∣ke in the see / stode a farre of / and cryed / when they sawe the smoke of her burnynge / sayinge what cite is lyke vnto this grett cite? And they cast dust on their heddes / and cryed we∣pynge [ F] / and waylinge / and sayed: Alas Alas y• greate cite wherin were made ryche all that had shyppes in the see / by the reason of her costlynes for atone houre is she made desolate
Reioyce over her thou heven / and ye holy Apostles / and prophetes: for god hath geven youre iudgment on her. And a myghty angell toke vp a stone lyke a grett mylstone / and cast it into the see / sayinge: with suche violence shall that gret cite Babilon be cast / and shall∣be founde no more. And the voyce of harpers / [ G] and musicions / and of pypers / and trompet∣ters / shalbe herde no more in the: and no craf¦tes man / of whatsoever craft he be / shalbe fo∣unde eny more in the. and the soūde of a myll
shalbe herde no more in the / & the voyce of the brydegrome and of the bryde / shalbe herde no more in the: for thy marchaunte were y• grett men of ye erth. And with thyne inchantment were deceaved all nacions: & in her was foun∣de the bloude of the prophettes / & of y• sayncte and of all that were slayne apon y• erth.
