AAnd I sawe when the lambe openyd one
of the seales / and I herde one of the
iiii. bestes saye / note as it were the noyse of
thonder / come and se. And I sawe / and beholde
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 sec&obar;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 thereon / 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 þe; thyrde seale / I herde
the thyrde beste saye: come and se. And I behelde
/ 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 a peny / and
iii. measures of barly for a peny: and oyle and
wyne se thou hurte not.
C And when he opened the fourthe seale / I
herde the voyce of the fourthe beste saye: come
and se. And I loked and beholde a grene horsse
/ 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.
D And when he opened the fyfte seale / I sawe
vnder the aultre / the soules of them that were
kylled for the worde of God / and for the testymony
which they had / and they cryed with
a lowde voyce sayinge: How l&obar;ge 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
-- --
The thyrde figure[unresolved image link] every one of them. And it was sayde vnto
them that they shulde reste for a lyttle season
vntyll the nomber of their felowes / note and brethr&ebar;
/ and of them that shulde be kylled as they
were / were fulfylled.
DnoteAnd I behelde when he opened the sixte seale
/ and 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:
-- --
The fourth figure[unresolved image link] and the starres of heven fell vnto the erth / even
as a fygge tree castith from her her fygges
/ when she is shaken of a myghty wynde.
And heven vanysshed awaye / as a scroll wh&ebar;
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 captaynes / ∧ the
-- --
[unresolved image link] 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
presence of him that sytteth on the seate / note and
from the wrath of the lambe / for the grete daye
of hys wrath ys come / And who can endure
it.
