¶ The .xix. Chapter.

ANd after y^• / I herde y^• voyce of moche people in heven sayinge: Alleluia. Sal∣uacion [ A] & glory and honour / & power be ascribed to y^• lorde oure god / for true & ryghte¦ous are his iudgmente / for he hath iudged y^• grett whore / which did corrupt the erth with her fornicacion / & hath avenged the bloud of his servauntes of her hond. And agayne they said: Alleluya. And smoke rose vp for evermo¦re. And the xxiiii. elders / & the iiii. bestes fell doune / & worshypped god that sate on the sea¦te sayinge: Amen Alleluya. And a voyce cam out of the seate / saying: prayse oure lorde god all ye that are his servauntes / and ye that fea¦re him both small and grett.

And I herde the voyce of moche people / evē as the voyce of many waters / and as the voy∣ce [ B] of stronge thondrynges / sayinge: Alleluya / for god omnipotent raigneth. Let vs be glad and reioyce and geve honour to him: for the mariage of the lambe is come / and hys wyffe made her sylfe reddy. And to her was graun∣ted / that she shulde be arayed with pure and goodly raynes. For the raynes is the ryghte∣wesnes of saynctes. And he sayde vnto me:

happy are they which are called vnto the Lā∣bes* 1.1 supper. And he sayde vnto me: these are the true sayinges of God. And I fell at his fete / to worshyppe him. And he sayde vnto me se thou do it not. For I am thy felowe serua∣unt / and one of thy brethern / and of them that have the testimony of Iesus. Worshyppe God. For the testymony of Iesus ys the spre¦te of prophesy. And I sawe heven open / and

beholde a whyte horsse: and he that sat apon* 1.2 him was faythfull and true / & in ryghtewes∣nes dyd iudge and make battayle. His eyes were as a flame of fyre: and on his heed were* 1.3 many crounes: and he had a name written / y^t no man knewe but him sylfe. And he was clo∣thed with a vesture dipt in bloud / and hys na¦me ys called the worde of God. And the war∣riers which were in heven / folowed him apon whyte horsses / clothed with whyte and pure raynes: and out of his mouthe went out a sharppe swerde / that with yt he shuld smyte the hethen. And he shall rule them with a rod¦de of yron / and he trode the wynefatt of fe∣arsnes & wrath of almyghty god. And hath on his vesture and on his thygh a name writ¦ten: kynge of kynges / and lorde of lordes.* 1.4

And I sawe an angell stonde in the sunne / and he cryed with a lowde voyce / sayinge to [ D] all the fowles that flye by y^e myddes of hevē come and gaddre youre selves to gedder vnto the supper of the gret god / that ye maye eate the flesshe of kynges / and of hye captaynes / and the flesshe of myghty men / and the fles∣she of horsses / and of them that sytt on them / and the flesshe of all free men and bond men / and of small and gret. And I sawe the beste and the kynges of the erth / and their warriers gaddred to gedder to make battayle agaynste him that satt on the horsse and agaynst his sowdiers.

And the beste was takē / and with him that falce prophett that wrought myracles before

him / with which he desceaved thē that recea∣ved y^• beestes marke / & them that worshipped his ymage. These both were cast into a pōde of fyre burnyge with brymstone: & y^e remna∣unte were slayne with y^• swearde of him that sat apon the horsse / which swearde proceded out of his mouthe / and all the foules were ful¦filled with their flesshe.
