And when he had opened the seuenth
seale, there was sil&ebar;ce in heauen aboute
the space of halfe an houre. And I
-- --
sawe seu&ebar; angels stondinge before God, and
to them were geuen seuen trompettes. And
another angell cam and stode before the aultre,
hauynge a golden senser, and moch of
odoures was geuen vnto him, that he shulde
offre of the prayers of all sayntes vpon
the golden aultre, which was before the seate.
And the smoke of the odoures which came
of the prayers of all sayntes, ascended
vppe before God out of the angelles honde.
And the angell toke the senser, and fylled it
with fyre of the aultre, and caste it into the
earth, and voyces were made, and th&obar;drynges
and lightnynges, and earthquake.
B And the seuen angels which had the seuen
trompettes, prepared them selues to
blowe. The first angel blewe, and there was
made hayle and fyre, which were myngled
with bloud, ∧ they were cast in to the earth:
and the thyrd parte of trees was burnt, and
all grene grasse was brent. And the seconde
angell blewe: and as it were a greate mountayne
burnynge with fyre was cast in to
the see, and the thyrde parte of the see turned
to bloud, and the thyrde parte of the
creatures which had life, dyed, and the thyrde
part of shippes were destroyed.
And the thyrde angell blewe, and there
fell a greate starre from heauen, burnynge
as it were a lampe, and it fell in to the thyrde
parte of the ryuers, and in to fountaynes
of waters, and the name of the starre is called
Wormwod.
C And the thyrde parte of the
waters was turned to Wormwod. And many
men dyed of the waters, because they were
made bytter. And the fourth angel blew,
and the thyrde parte of þe; Sonne was smytten,
and þe; thyrde parte of the mone, ∧ the
thyrde parte of starres: so that the thyrde
parte of them was darckned. And the daye
was smytt&ebar;, that the thyrde parte of it shulde
not shyne, and lyke wyse the nyght. And
I behelde, and herde an angel flyenge thorowe
the myddes of heau&ebar;, and say&ebar;ge with
a lowde voyce: Wo, wo, wo to the inhabiters
of the earth, because of the voyces to come
of the trompe of the thre angels which
were yet to blowe.
