A    ^noteAnd I sawe heau&ebar; ∧ a new earthe. For the fyrst heau&ebar;, ∧ the first earth were vanyshed away ∧ there was no more sea. &cross2; And I Iohn saw that holye cyty new Ierusalem come doune fr&obar; God out of heau&ebar; prepared as a byrd garnyshed for her husb&abar;d And I heard a great voyce out of heauen saying: beholde, the tabernacle of God is &wt; m&ebar;, and he wyll dwell with them. And they shal be his people, ∧ God hym selfe shalbe with th&ebar; ∧ be theyr God. And god shal wipe away al teares fr&obar; their eyes. ^noteAnd there shalbe no more death, neyther sorow neither criyng, neither shal there be any more paine, for the olde thinges are gone. B   And he that sate vpon the seate, said: ^note Behold I make al thinges new. &cross3; And he sayd vnto me: wryte for these wordes are faythfull and true.
And he said vnto me: it is done, I am Alpha ∧ Omega, þe; beginning ∧ the ende. I will geue to hym that is a thyrst of the wel of the water of lyfe free. He that ouercometh, shal inherete all thynges, ∧ I wilbe his God, ∧ he shall be my sonne. C   But the fearful and vnbeleuing, ∧ the abhominable, ∧ murtherers, ∧ whoremongers, ∧ sorcerers, ∧ ydolaters, ∧ al lyars shall haue their parte in the lake which burneth &wt; fyre ∧ brymstone, which is the seconde death.

And there came vnto nie one of the .vij. aungels which had the .vij. vials ful of the .vij. last plages: ∧ talked with me saiyng: come hyther I wil shewe the the bryde, the lambes wyfe. D   Aud he caryed me away in þe; spirite to a great ∧ hygh mountayne, ∧ he shewed me the great citie, holy Ierusalem, descendyng out of heauen from God, hauyng the bryghtnes of god And her shinyng was lyke vnto a stone most precyous, euen a Iasper cleare as Chrystal, ∧ had walles great and hye, and had twelue gates, ∧ at the gates .xij. angelles: ∧ names wrytten, which are the twelue trybes of Israel: on the easte parte thre gates, ∧ on the northe syde thre gates, ∧ towardes the south .iij. gates, and from the west thre gates, ∧ the wal of the citie had .xij. foundacyons, ∧ in them the names of the lambes twelue Apostles.

E   And he þt; talked with me, had a gold&ebar; rede to measure the cytie with al ∧ the gates therof ∧ the wal thereof. And the citie was buylt. iiij. square, ∧ the length was as large as þe; bredth of it, ∧ he measured the citie with the rede .xij. M. furlonges: ∧ the length and the bredth, ∧ the heyth of it were equall. And he measured the wal therof .an. cxliiij. cubites, the measure that the angel had, was after the measure þe; man vseth. And the buyldyng of the wall of it was of Iaspar. F   And the citie was pure golde lyke vnto cleare glasse, and the foundacyons of the wall of the cytye were garnyshed with all maner of precious stones. The first foundacyon was Iaspar, the seconde saphyre, the thyrde a calcedony, the fourth an emerald: the fyft sardonix: the .vi. sardeos: the .vij. chrysolite the .viij. beral: the .ix. a topas, the tenth a chrisoprasos: the .xi. a Iacint: and the .xij. an amatist. &rhand; The .xij. gates were .xij. pearles, euery gate was of one pearle, ∧ the strete of the cytie was pure golde, as thorowe shynyng glasse. And there was no t&ebar;ple therein. For the Lord God almyghty ∧ the l&abar;be are the t&ebar;ple of it ∧ the cytye hath no nede of the sunne neyther of the mone to lyghten it. G   For the bryghtnes of God dyd lyght it, ∧ the lambe was the lyght of it. And the people which are saued, shall walke in the light of it: ∧ the kinges of the earth shal brynge theyr glory vnto it. And the gates of it are not shut by daye. For there shalbe no myght there. And there shal enter into it none vncleane thyng, ^note neyther whatsoeuer worketh abominacyon: or maketh lyes: but they onely which are wrytten in the lambes boke of lyfe.
