CAP. XX.
1 And I si&yogh;e an aungel comynge doun fro
heuene, hauynge the keye of depnesse,
and a greet cheyne in his hond.
2 And he
cau&yogh;te the dragoun, the olde serpent, that
is the deuel and Sathanas; and he boonde
him bi a thousynd &yogh;eeris.
3 And he sente
him in to depnesse, and closide, and signede,
`or selide, on him, that he deceyue
no more folkes, til a thousynd &yogh;eeris be
fulfillid. After thes thinges it bihoueth
him for to be vnbounde a litel tyme.
4 And
I si&yogh;e seetes, and thei saten on hem, and
doom is &yogh;ouun to hem. And the soules
of `bihedid men for the witnessing of
-- --
Jhesu, and for the word of God, and
hem that worschepiden not the beest, nether
the ymage of it, nether token the
carect of it in forhedis, or in her hondis.
And thei lyueden, and regneden `with
Crist a thousynd &yogh;eer.
5 The othere of
deede men lyueden not, til a thousynd
&yogh;eeres be endid. This the first a&yogh;en risyng.
6 Blessid and holy he, that hath paart
in the first a&yogh;en risyng. In thes the secounde
deeth hath not power; but thei
shulen be prestis of God, and of Crist, and
thei shulen regne with him a thousynd
&yogh;eeris.
7 And whan a thousynd &yogh;eeres
shulen be endid, Sathanas shal be vnbounde
of his prisoun; and he shal go
out, and he shal deceyue folkes, that ben
on foure corners of the erthe, Gog and
Magog. And he shal gedere hem in to
bateyl, whois noumbre is as the grauel of
the se.
8 And thei sti&yogh;eden vp, on the
broodnesse of erthe, and enuyrounden
the castels of seyntis, and the loued citee.
9 And fijr cam doun of God fro heuen,
and deuourede hem. And the deuel, that
deceyuede hem, is sent in to the pool
of fijr and brunston,
10 where and the beest
and false prophetes shulen be tourmentid
day and ni&yogh;t, in to worldlis of worldlis.
11 Amen. And I si&yogh;e a greet white trone,
and the sittynge on it, fro whois si&yogh;t
erthe flei&yogh; and heuen; and place is not
founden of hem.
12 And I si&yogh;e deede men,
greete and smale, stondinge in the si&yogh;t of
the trone; and bookes ben openyd;
and an othir book is openyd, that is the
book of lijf; and deede men ben demyd
of thes thingis that weren write in the
bookis, aftir the werkes of hem.
13 And
the se &yogh;af his deede men, that weren in it;
and deeth and helle &yogh;auen her deede men,
-- --
that weren in hem. And it is demyd of
alle, vp the werkes of hem.
14 And `helle
and deeth ben sent in to the pool of
fijr.
15 This is the secounde deeth. And
he that is not founde writun in the book
of lijf, is sent in to the pool of fijr.
