The .xx. fygure.

ANd I sawe an angell come doune from* 1.1 heven / havinge the kaye of / the bottom¦lesse [ A] pyt / & a gret chayne in his honde. And he toke the dragō that olde scrpēt / which is the devyll and Satanas / & he bounde him a thousand yeares: and cast him into the bot∣tomlesse pit / and he bounde him / and set a sea∣le on him / y^• he shuld desceaue the people no moare / tyll the .M. yeares were fulfilled. And after y^t he muste be loosed for a litell season.

And I sawe seatte / & they sat apon them / & iudgement was geven vnto them: and I sa∣we the soules of them that were behedded for the witnes of Iesu / & for the worde of God: which had not worshypped the best / nether his ymage / nether had taken his marke vpon their forheddes / or on their hondes: and they lyved / and raygned with Christ a .M. yere: [ B] but the wother of the deed men lyved not agayne / vntyll the .M. yere were fynisshed. This is that fyrst resurreccion. Blessed and holy is he that hath parte in the fyrst resur¦reccion. For on suche shall the seconde deeth have no power / for they shalbe the prestes of God and of Christ / and shall raygne with him a .M. yere.

And when the .M. yeares are experied / Sa¦tan shalbe lowsed out of his preson / and shall* 1.2 goo oute to deceave the people which are in the foure quarters of the erth Gog and Ma¦gog / to gadder them to gedder to batayle / who senombre is as the sonde of the see: and they went vp on the playne of the erth / and compa¦sed

the tentes of the saynctes about / & the be∣loved cite. And fyre cam doune from God / out [ D] of heven / & devoured them: & the devyll that desceaved them / was cast into a lake of fyre & brymstone / where the beest and the falce pro∣phet were and shalbe tormented daye and nyght for ever more.

And I sawe a grett whyte seate and him that sate on it / from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heavē / and their place was no more founde. And I sawe the deed / both grett and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened and another boke was ope¦ned / which is the boke of lyfe / and the deed were iudged of thoo thynges which weer wrytten in the bokes accordinge to their de∣des: and the see gave vp her deed / which were in her / and deth & hell delyvered vp the deed / which were in them: and they were iudged every man accordinge to his dedes. And deth and hell were cast into the lake of fyre. This is that second deeth. And whosoever was not founde written in the boke of lyfe / was cast into the lake of fyre.
