¶ The vysyon of the flyinge booke, sygnyfyinge the
curse of theues and such as abuse the name of God, by
the vysyon of the measure, is sygnyfyed the bryngyng
of Iuda to Babylon.
A So I turned me, lyftyng vp myne
eyes, ∧ loked, ∧ beholde, a flyinge
boke. And he sayd vnto me: what
seest þu; I answered: I se a flyinge
booke of .xx. cubytes longe, and .x. cubytes
brode. Then sayed he vnto me: Thys is the
curse þt; goeth forth ouer the whole earth: for
all theues shalbe Iudged after this booke ∧
B
all swearers shalbe iudged accordynge to þe;
same, ∧ I wyl brynge it furth (sayeth þe; Lorde
of hostes) so þt; it shall come to þe; house of þe;
thefe, ∧ to the house of him, þt; falsly sweareth
by my name: ∧ shall remayne in hys house, ∧
consume it, &wt; the tymbre and stones therof.
Then the angel þt; talked &wt; me, wente forth
and sayd vnto me: lyft vp thyne eyes and se,
what is this that goeth forth.
C And I sayde:
what is it? He answered: thys is a measure
goinge out. He sayde moreouer: Euen thus
are they (þt; dwel vpon the whole earth) to loke
vp&obar;. And beholde, there was lyft vp a talent
of leade: ∧ lo, a woman sat in þe; myddest
of þe; measure. And he sayde: thys is vngodlynes.
So he cast her into the myddest of the
measure, and threwe the lompe of leade into
the mouth of the measure.
D Then lyfte I vp myne eyes, ∧ loked: and
behold, there came out .ii. wom&ebar;, and þe; wind
was in their wynges (for they had wynges
lyke the wynges of a storke) ∧ they lyft vp þe;
measure betwixt the earth and þe; heau&ebar;. Th&ebar;
spake I to þe; aungel that talked &wt; me: whyther
wyl these beare þe; measure? And he sayd
vnto me: into the lande of note Synear to buyld
them an house, whiche when it is prepared,
the measure shalbe set there in his place.
