A   Beholde, speake thou in the eares of my people the wordes of prophecie, which I wyll put in þi; mouth, saieth the LORDE: and cause them to be wrytten in a letter, for it is the trueth. Feare not the ymaginaci&obar;s against þe;, let not þe; vnfaithfulnes of them trouble the, that speake agaynst the. For all the vnfaithfull shal dye in their vnfaithfulnes. Beholde saieth the LORDE, I wil brynge plages vpon the worlde: þe; swerde, honger, death and destruccion, for wickednes hath the vpper hande in all þe; earth, and their shamefull workes are fulfilled.

B   Therfore saieth the LORDE: I wil holde my tonge nomore vnto their wickednesse, which they do so vngodly: nether wil I suffre them in the thinges, that they deale withall so wickedly. ^noteBeholde, the innocent bloude of the troubled crieth vnto me, and the soules of the righteous complayne c&obar;tynually: and therfore (saieth the LORDE) I wil surely au&ebar;ge, and receaue vnto me all the innoc&ebar;t bloude from amonge them.

^noteBeholde, my people, is led as a flock of shepe to be slayne, I wil not suffre them now to dwel in Egipte, but wyl brynge them out with a mightie hande and a stretched out arme, and smyte it with plages as afore, and wyl destroye all the londe off it. Egipte shal mourne, and the foundacions of it shalbe smytten with the plage and punyshment, þt; God shal brynge vpon it.

C   They that tyll þe; gro&ubar;de, shal mourne, for their sedes shal be destroyed thorow the blastinge and hale, and an horrible starre. Wo worth þe; worlde and them that dwell therin, for þe; swerde ∧ their destrucci&obar; draweth nye: ∧ one people shal st&obar;de vp to fight against another, ∧ swerdes in their h&abar;des. For m&ebar; shalbe vnstedfast, and some shal do violence vnto other: they shal not regarde their kynge and prynces, the wayes of their doinges and h&abar;delinges in their power. A man shal desyre to go in to the cite, ∧ shal not be able. For because

of their pryde þe; cities shalbe brought in feare, þe; houses shal shake, and men shalbe afrayed. A man shal haue no pitie vpon his neghboure, but one shal prouoke another vnto battayll, to spoyle their goodes because of the honger of bred, and because of the greate trouble.

D   Beholde, I gather ∧ call together all the kynges of þe; earth which are from the vprysinge, from the south, from the east and Libanus to turne vnto them, and restore the thinges that they haue geu&ebar; them. Like as they do yet this daye vnto my chosen, so wil I do also, and rec&obar;pense th&ebar; in their bosome. Thus sayeth þe; LORDE God: My right hande shal not spare þe; synners, and my swerde shal not ceasse ouer them, that shed the innoc&ebar;t bloude vpon earth. The feare is gone out fr&obar; his wrath, and hath c&obar;sumed the foundacions of the earth, and the synners like the strawe that is kindled. Wo worth them that synne, and kepe not my commaundementes, saieth the LORDE. I wil not spare them. Go youre waye ye children from violence, defyle not my Sanctuary: for the LORDE knoweth all th&ebar; that synne agaynst him, and therfore delyuereth he them vnto death and destrucci&obar;: For now are the plages come vpon the worlde, ∧ ye shal remayne in th&ebar;. For God shal not delyuer you, because ye haue synned agaynst him.

E   Beholde, an horrible vision commeth fr&obar; the east, where generacions of Dragons shal come out, and the people of the Arabes with many charettes, and the multitude of them shalbe as the wynde vp&obar; earth, that all they which heare them ragynge in their wrath, maye feare and be afrayed: and as the wylde bores out of þe; wod, so shal they go out, and with greate power shal they come, and stonde fightinge with th&ebar;, and shal waist the porcion of the londe of the Assirians.

And then shal the Dragons haue the vpper hande, not remembringe their byrth, and shal turne aboute swearinge together in greate power, to persecute them. But these shalbe afrayed, and kepe sylence at their power, and shal fle: and one out of the londe of the Assirians shal besege th&ebar;, and consume one of th&ebar;, and in their hoost shal be feare and drede, and strife amonge their kynges.

F   Beholde cloudes from the east, and from the north vnto the south, and they are very horrible to loke vpon, full of wrath and storme. They shal smyte one vpon another, and they shal smyte at þe; greate starre vpon earth and their starre, and the bloude shalbe from the swerde vnto the bely, and the smoke of m&abar; vnto þe; Camels lytter: And there shalbe greate fearfulnes and tremblinge vp&obar; earth, and they that se the wrath, shal be afrayed, and a tremblinge shal come vpon them.

And then shal there come greate raynes from þe; south and from the north, and parte from the west, and from the stormy wynde from the east, and shal shutt them vp agayne, ∧ the cloude which he raysed vp in wrath, and the starre to cause feare towarde þe; east and west wynde, shalbe destroyed, ∧ the greate cloudes shalbe lift vp, and þe; mightie cloudes full of wrath, and the starre, that they maye make all the earth afrayed and th&ebar; þt; dwell therin, and that they maye poure out ouer all places an horrible starre, fyre and hale and flyenge swerdes, and many waters: þt; all feldes maye be full, and all ryuers, ∧ they shal breake downe the cities ∧ walles, mountaynes ∧ hylles, all trees, wod, and the grasse of the medowes, and all their frute. And they shal go stedfast vnto Babilon, and make her afrayed, they shal come to her and besege her: the starre and all wrath shal they poure out vpon her.

G   Then shal the dust and smoke go vp vnto the heauen, and all they that be aboute her, shal bewayle her: and they that remayne vnder her, shal do seruyce vnto them that haue put her in feare. And thou Asia þt; c&obar;fortest thyself also vp&obar; the hope of Babilon, and art a worshipe of hir personne: Wo be vnto the thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like vnto her, ∧ hast decte þi; daughters &ibar; whordome, that they might tryumphe and please thy louers, which haue allwaye desyred to c&obar;mytte whordome &wt; the: thou hast folowed the abhominable cite in all hir workes and invencions.

Therfore sayeth God: I wyl sende plages vpon the, wyddowhode, pouerte, h&obar;ger, warres, and pestilence, to waist thy houses with destruccion and death, and the glory of thy power shal be dryed vp as a floure, whan þe; heate aryseth þt; is sent ouer the. Thou shalt be sick as a poore wife that is plaged ∧ beat&ebar; of wemen: so þt; the mightie and louers shal not be able to receaue the. Wolde I so hate the saieth the LORDE? Yf thou haddest not allwaye slayne my chosen, exaltinge the stroke of thy handes, and sayde ouer their death, whan thou wast dronk&ebar;: set forth the betwye of thy countenaunce.

The rewarde of thy whordome shalbe recompensed the in thy bosome, therfore shalt thou receaue ^note rewarde.

H   Like as thou hast done vnto my chosen (sayeth the LORDE) euen so shal God do vnto the, and shal delyuer the in to the plage. Thy childr&ebar; shal dye of honger, ∧ thou shalt fall thorow þe; swerde. Thy cities shalbe broken downe, ∧ all thine shal perish &wt; the swerde in þe; felde. They þt; be in þe; mo&ubar;taynes shal dye of honger, ∧ eate their owne flesh, ∧ drinke their owne bloude for very h&obar;ger of bred ∧ thyrst of water. Thou vnhappie shalt come thorow the see, ∧ receaue plages agayne.

In the passage they shall cast downe the slayne cite, ∧ shal rote out one parte of þi; londe, ∧ c&obar;sume the porcion of thy glory. They shal treade the downe like stuble, ∧ they shalbe thy fyre and shal consume the: thy cities and thy londe, thy wod ∧ thy frutefull trees shal they burne vp with the fyre. Thy children shal they cary awaye captyue, and loke what thou hast, they shal spoyle it, and marre the bewtie of thy face.
