¶ The .xiiii. Chapter. ¶ The wastynge of the church vnder the fygure of Ierusalem. Of the kyngdome of the Lorde.

A   Beholde, þe; daye of the Lorde c&obar;meth, that þu; shalt be spoyled &abar;d robbed, for I will gather together all þe; Heathen to fight agaynst Ierusal&ebar;: so þt; the citie shalbe wonne, the houses spoyled, and the wem&ebar; defiled. The halfe of the citie shal go awaye into captiuite, and the residue of the people shal not be caried out of the citie. After that shall þe; Lorde go forth to fight agaynst those Heathen, as men vse to fyght in þe; daye of battel. Th&ebar; shall his fete stand vp&obar; þe; mo&ubar;t olyuete, that lyeth vpon þe; east syde of Ierusal&ebar;. B   And þe; mo&ubar;t olyuete shall cleue in two, eastwarde and westwarde, so þt; there shalbe a great valley, and the halfe mo&ubar;t shall remoue towarde þe; north, ∧ the other towarde the south. And ye shall fle vnto þe; valley of my hylles, for the valley of the hylles shall reach vnto Asal. Yee, fle shall ye note lyke as ye fled for the earthquake in þe; dayes of Osiah kynge of Iuda. And the Lord my God shal come, ∧ al saintes &wt; him. In that daye shal

it not be lyghte, other cleare or dymme. noteThis shalbe that speciall daye whiche is knowne vnto þe; Lord; nether day ner nyght but about the euenyng tyme it shalbe light. noteIn that tyme shall there waters of lyfe runne out fr&obar; Ierusalem: the halfe potte of them towarde the east see, and þe; other halfe towarde the vttermost see, &abar;d shall c&obar;tinue both somer and wynter. noteAnd the Lorde hym selfe shalbe kynge ouer all the earth.

C   At þt; tyme shall there be one Lord onely, ∧ his name shalbe but one. M&ebar; shall go about the whole erth, as vp&obar; a felde: fr&obar; Gibea to R&ebar;n&obar;, ∧ fr&obar; the south to Ierusal&ebar;. She shalbe set vp, ∧ inhabited &ibar; her place: fr&obar; BenIamyns porte, vnto þe; place of the fyrst porte, ∧ vnto the corner porte: ∧ from the tower of note Hananeell, vnto the kinges wyne presses. There shal men dwel, ∧ there shalbe no more cursinge, but Ierusal&ebar; shalbe safely inhabited. This shalbe the plage, wherwith the Lorde will smyte all pleople, þt; haue fought agaynst Ierusal&ebar;. Namely, their flesh shall cosume awaye, though they st&abar;de vp&obar; their fete, their eyes shalbe corrupt in their holes and their tunge shal c&obar;sume in their mouth.

In that daye shall þe; Lorde make a great sedicion am&obar;ge th&ebar;, so þt; one man shall take another by the hande, ∧ laye his h&abar;des vp&obar; the handes of his neyghboure. noteIuda shall fyght also against Ierusal&ebar;, ∧ the goodes of all þe; Heath&ebar; shalbe gathered together ro&ubar;d aboute: golde ∧ syluer ∧ a very great multitude of clothes. And so shall this plage goo ouer horsses, mules, camels, asses, ∧ all the beastes þt; shalbe in þe; host, lyke as y&obar;der plage was. Euery one þt; remayneth then of all the people, which cam agaynst Ierusalem, shall go vp yerly, to worshyppe the kynge (euen the Lorde of hostes) note and to kepe the feast of tabernacles. And loke what generacion vpon the earth goeth vp to Ierusalem for to worshyp the kynge (eu&ebar; the Lorde of hostes) vpon the same shall come no rayne. Yf the kynred of Egypte go not vp, ∧ come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether.

D   This shalbe þe; plage wher &wt; the Lorde wil smyte all þe; Heathen, þt; come not vp to kepe þe; feast of tabernacles: yee, this shalbe þe; synne plage of Egipt ∧ þe; s&ibar;ne plage of al people þt; go not vp to kepe þe; feast of tabernacles.

At that tyme shall the rydyng gere of the horses be holy vnto the Lorde, ∧ the kettels in the Lordes house shall be lyke the basens before the aulter: yee, al the kettels in Ierusal&ebar; and Iuda, shalbe holy vnto the Lorde of hostes: and all they that slaye offeringes, shall come ∧ take of them, ∧ dyght th&ebar; there in. And at that tyme there shall be no mo Cananites in the house of the Lorde. ¶ The ende of the Prophecye of Zachary.
