The XVII. Chapter.
A And there cam one of the seu&ebar; angels,
which had the seuen vialles, and talked
with me, sayenge vnto me: Come,
I wil shewe the the iugdment of the greate
whore, that sytteth vpon many waters,
with whom the kynges of the earth haue
commytted whordome, and the inhabiters
of the earth are dronken with the wyne
of her fornicacion. And he caryed me awaye
into the wildernes in þe; sprete. And I sawe
a woman syt vpon a rose colored beest, full
of names of blasphemie, which had seu&ebar; heades
∧ ten hornes. And þe; woman was arayed
in purple and rose color, and decked with golde,
precious stone, and pearles, and had a
cupp of golde in her honde, full of abhominacions,
and fylthines of her wordome. And
in her forhed was a name wrytt&ebar;, a mistery;
greate Babilon the mother of whordome,
and abominaci&obar;s of the earth.
B And I sawe
the wyfe dronk&ebar; with the bloude of sayntes,
and with the bloud of the witnesses of Iesu.
And when I sawe her, I wondred with
greate mervayle.
And the angell sayde vnto me: wherfore
meruayllest thou? I wyl shewe the the mistery
of the woman, and of the beest that
beerith her, which hath seuen heades, and
ten hornes. The beest that thou seest, was,
and is not, and shall ascende out of the bottomlesse
pytt, and shal go in to perdicion,
and they that dwell on the earth shal wondre
(whose names are not wrytten in the boke
of life from the begynnynge of the worlde)
when they beholde the beest that was,
and is not. And here is a mynde, that hath
wi&esset;dome.
C The seuen heades are seuen mountanes,
on which the woman sytteth: they are also
seuen kynges. Fyue are fallen, and one is,
and the other is not yet come. When he commeth,
he muste continue a space. And the
beest that was, and is not, is eu&ebar; the eyght,
and is of the seuen, and shal go in to destruccion.
noteAnd þe; ten hornes which thou sawest,
are ten kynges, which haue not yet receaued
the kyngdome, but shal receaue power
as kynges at one houre with þe; beest. These
haue one mynde, and shal geue their power
and str&ebar;gth vnto þe; beeste. These shal fyght
with the lambe, and the l&abar;be shal ouercome
them: For he is note LORDE of all lordes, and
kinge of all kinges: and they that are on his
syde, are called, and chosen and faithfull.
D And he saide vnto me: The note waters which
thou sawest, where þe; whore sytteth, are people,
and folke, and nacions, and tonges. And
the ten hornes, which thou sawest vpon the
beest, are they that shal hate the whore, and
shal make her desolate, and naked, and shall
eate hir fle&esset;he, and burne her with fyre.
For God hath put in their hertes, to fulfill
his wyll, and to do with one consent, for to
geue hir kyngdome vnto the beest, vntill the
wordes of God be fulfylled. And the wom&abar;
which thou sawest, is that greate cite, which
raigneth ouer the kynges of the earth.
