The .vi. Chapter.

ANd I sawe when the lambe openyd o∣ne of the seales / and I herde one of the [ A] * 1.1 iiii. bestes saye / as it were the noyse of thonder / come and se. And I sawe / and behol∣de there was a whyte horsse / and he that sat on him had a bowe / and a croune was gevyn

vnto him / and he went forth conqueringe and forto overcome. And when he opened the secō¦de seale / I herde the seconde beste saye: come and se. And there went out another horsse that was red / and power was geven to him that satte there on / to take peace from the erth / and that they shulde kyll one another. And there was geven vnto him a gret swearde. [ B]

And when he opened y^e thyrde seale / I her∣de the thyrde beste saye: come and se. And I be¦helde / and loo / a blacke hors: and he that sate on him / had a payre of balances in his honde. And I herd a voyce in the myddes of the .iiii. bestes saye: a measure of whete for apeny / and iii. measures of barly for a peny: and oyle and wyne se thou hurte not.

And when he opened the fourthe seale / I [ C] herde the voyce of the fourthe beste saye: come and se. And I loked. and beholde a grene hors¦se / and his name that sat on him was deeth / and hell folowed after him / and power was geven vnto them over the fourthe parte of the erth / to kyll with swearde / and with honger / and with deeth / that cometh of vermen of the erth.

And when he opened the fyfte seale / I sawe vnder the aultre / the soules of them that we∣re kylled for the worde of God / and for the te∣stymony which they had / and they cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: How lōge tariest thou lorde holy and true / to iudge and to avenge oure bloud on them that dwell on the erth? And longe whyte garmentes were geven vnto

every one of them. And it was sayde vnto them that they shulde reste for a lyttle season vntyll the nomber of their felowes / and bre∣thrē / and* 1.2 of them that shulde bekylled as they were / were fulfylled.

And I behelde when he opened the sixte se¦ale / and [ D] loo there was a grett erth quake and the sunne was as blacke as sacke clothe made of heare. And the mone wexed even as bloud:

And heven vanysshed awaye / as a scroll whē it is rolled togedder. And all mountayns and yles / were moved oute of their places. And the kynges of the erth / & the gret men / & the ryche men / and the chefe cap taynes / & the

myghty men / and every bond man / and every free man / hyd them selves in dennes / and in rockes of the hylles / and sayde to the hylles / and rockes: fall on vs / and hyde vs from the* 1.3 presence of him that sytteth on the seate / and from the wrath of the lambe / for the grete da∣ye of hys wrath ys come / And who can endu∣re it.
