CHAP. VI.
1 The Lambe openeth the first seale of the booke, 3 the second,
5 the thirde, 7 the fourth, 9 the fifth, 12 and the sixth, and
then arise murders, famine, pestilence, outcries of Saintes, earthquakes,
and diuers strange sights in heauen.
1 After, I beheld wh&ebar; the Lambe had opened one
of the seales, & I heard one of the foure beastes
say, as it were the noise of thunder, Come and see.
2 Therefore I behelde, & loe, there was a white
horse, and hee that sate on him, had a bowe, and a
crowne was giuen vnto him, and he went forth conquering
that he might ouercome.
3 And when he had opened the seconde seale, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out an other horse, that was
red, & power was giuen to him that sate thereon, to
take peace fr&obar; the earth, & that they should kill one
another, & there was giuen vnto him a great sword.
5 And when hee had opened the thirde seale, I
heard the thirde beast say, Come and see: Then I behelde,
and loe, a blacke horse, & he that sate on him,
had balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the mids of the foure
beastes say, A note measure of wheate for a penie, and
three measures of barly for a peny, & oyle, and wine
hurt thou not.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seale, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come & see.
8 And I looked, and beholde, a pale horse, and
his name that sate on him was Death, and Hell folowed
after him, & power was giuen vnto them ouer
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sworde, and
with hunger, and with death, and with beasts of the
earth.
9 And when hee had opened the fifth seale, I
sawe vnder the altar the soules of them, that were
killed for the worde of God, and for the testimonie
which they mainteined.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How
long, Lord, which art holie and true! doest not thou
iudge and auenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth?
11 And long white robes were giuen vnto euery
one, and it was saide vnto them, that they shoulde
rest for a litle season vntill their fellow seruants, and
their brethren that shoulde bee killed euen as they
were, were note fulfilled.
12 And I behelde when hee had opened the sixt
seale, and loe, there was a great earthquake, and the
sunne was as blacke as note sackecloth of heare, & the
moone was like blood.
13 And the starres of heauen fell vnto the earth,
as a figge tree casteth her greene figges when it is
shaken of a mightie winde.
14 And heauen departed away, as a scroule, when
it is rolled, and euery mountaine and yle were mooued
out of their places.
15 And the Kinges of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chiefe captaines, and
the mighty men, and euery bondman, and euery free
man, hid themselues in dennes, & among the rockes
of the mountaines,
Those that were sealed.
16 And said to the mountaines & rocks, note Fal on
vs, and hide vs from the presence of him that sitteth
on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lambe.
17 For the great day of his wrath is come, and
who can stand?
