And I sawe a note newe heauen and a
newe earth. For the fyrst heauen, and
the fyrst earth were vani&esset;hed awaye,
and there was nomore See. And I Ihon
sawe that holy cite newe Ierusalem come
downe from God out of heauen, prepared
-- --
as a bryde garni&esset;hed for hyr hu&esset;band. And
I herde a greate voyce from the seate, sayenge:
beholde, the tabernacle of God note is with
men, and he wil dwell with them. And they
shalbe his people, and God himselfe shalbe
with th&ebar;, and shalbe their God. noteAnd God
shal wipe awaye all teares from their eyes.
And there shalbe nomore deeth, nether sorowe,
nether shal there be eny more payne,
for þe; olde thinges are gone. And he that sat
vpon the seate, sayde: note Beholde, I make all
thinges newe. And he sayde vnto me: wryte
for these wordes are faithfull and true,
And he sayde vnto me: it is done note I am
Alpha and Omega, the begynnynge, and
the ende. I wil geue to him that is a thyrst
of the well of the water of life fre.
B He that
ouercommeth, shal inheret all thinges note I
wil be his God, and he shalbe my sonne. But
the fearefull and vnbeleuynge, and the abhominable,
and murthurers, and whormongers,
and sorcerers, and ydolaters, ∧ all lyars,
shal haue their parte in the lake, that burneth
with fyre and brymstone, which is the
seconde death.
And there came vnto me one of the seuen
angels, which had the seuen vials full of the
seuen last plages: and talked with me, sayenge:
come hydder, I wil shewe the the bryde,
þe; l&abar;bes wyfe. And he caryed me awaye in þe;
sprete to a greate and an hye mo&ubar;tayne, and
he shewed me the greate cite, holy Ierusal&ebar;
descendinge out of heauen from God, hauynge
the brightnes of God. And her shynynge
was lyke vnto a stone most precious, euen a
Iaspar cleare as cristall: ∧ had greate and
hye walles, and had twolue gates, and at þe;
gates twolue angels: and names wrytten,
which are the twolue trybes of Israel: on
the est parte thre gates, and on the north syde
thre gates, and towarde the south thre
gates, and from the west thre gates: and the
wall of the cite had twolue foundaci&obar;s, and
in them the names of the lambes twolue Apostles.
C noteAnd he that talked with me, had a golden
rede to measure the cite with all, and the
gates therof, and the wall therof. And the
cite was bylt foure square, and the length
was as large as the bredth of it, and he measured
the cite with the rede twolue M. furlonges:
and the length and the bredth, and
þe; heyth of it, were equall. And he measured
the wall therof, an cxliiij. cubittes, after þe;
measure of a man, which the angel had.
And the buyldinge of the wall of it was of
Iaspar. And the cite was of pure golde, like
vnto cleare glasse: and þe; foundaci&obar;s of the
walles and of þe; cite were garny&esset;hed with
all maner of precious stones. The fyrst foundacion
was a Iasper, the seconde a Saphyre,
þe; thyrde a Calcedony, the fourth a Smaragde:
the fyft a Sardonix: the sixt a Sardeos:
the seuenth a Crysolite, the eyght berall:
the nynth a Topas: the tenth a Crysoprasos:
the eleu&ebar;th a Iacyncte: the twelfte
an Amatist.
D And the twolue gates were twolue pearles,
and euery gate was of one pearle, and þe;
strete of the cite was pure golde, as a thoroweshyninge
glasse. And I sawe no temple
therin. For the LORDE God allmighty and
the lambe is the temple of it, and the cite
hath no nede of the Sonne, nether of the mone
to lyghten it. For the bryghtnes of God
doth light it: and the lambe is the lyght of
it. And þe; people which are saued, shal walke
in the light of it: and the kynges of the
earth shal brynge their glory vnto it. noteAnd
the gates of it shal not be shut by daye. For
there shalbe no nyght there. And there shal
entre in to it none vncleane thinge: nether
what soeuer worketh abhominacion: or maketh
lyes: but they which are wrytten in the
lambes boke of life.
