¶ The .xxii. Chapter.
¶ The ryuer of the water of lyfe, the frutefulnes
and lyght of the cytie of God. The Lorde geueth
euer hys seruauntes warnynge of thynges to come,
the angell will not be worshipped. To þe; worde
of God maye nothyng be added nor mynyshed.
A And he shewed me a pure ryuer of
water of lyfe, clere as Crystall:
procedynge out of the seate of
God, and the lambe. In the middes
of the stret of it, and of ether
syde of the ryuer, was ther woode of lyfe:
whych bare twelue maner of frutes: ∧ gaue
frute euery moneth: ∧ the leues of the wood
serued to heale þe; people with all. And ther
shalbe no more cursse, but the seate of God
and the lambe shalbe in it: and hys seruauntes
shall serue hym. And they shall se hys
face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes
note And there shall be no nyght there,
B ∧ they
nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for
the Lorde God geueth th&ebar; lyght, and they
shall raygne for euermore.
And he sayde vnto me: these sayinges are
faythfull and true. And the Lorde God of þe;
holy Prophetes sent hys Angell to shewe
vnto hys seruauntes, the thynges whyche
must shortly be fulfylled. Beholde, I come
shortly. noteHappy is he that kepeth þe; saying
of the prophesy of thys boke. I am Iohn,
which sawe these thynges and herde them.
C And when I had herde ∧ sene, note I fell doune
to worshyppe before the fete of the Angell,
whyche shewed me these thynges. And he
sayde vnto me: se thou do it not, for I am
thy felowe seruaunt, ∧ the felowe seruaunt
of thy brethren the Prophetes, and of them
which kepe the sayinges of (the prophecye of)
thys boke. But worshyppe God.
And he sayde vnto me: seale not the sayinges
of the prophesy of this boke. For the tyme
is at hande. He that doeth euyll, let him
do euyll styll: and he which is filthy, let him
be fylthy styll: and he that is ryghteous, let
hym be more ryghteous: ∧ he that is holy,
let hym be more holy. And beholde, I come
shortly, and my rewarde is wyth me, to geue
euery man accordynge as his dedes shalbe.
I am Alpha and Omega, þe; begynninge
and the ende: the fyrst and the last. Blessed
are they that do his c&obar;maundementes, that
theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, and
maye entre in thorow the gates into the cytie.
noteFor wythout shalbe dogges and inchaunters,
and whormongers, and mortherers,
and ydolaters, ∧ whosoeuer loueth or
maketh leasynges.
D I Iesus sent myne Angell, to testyfye vnto
you these thynges in the congregacions.
I am the rote and the generacion of Dauid
and the bryghte mornynge starre. And the
sprete and the bryde saye come. And let him
that heareth, saye also: come. noteAnd let him
that is a thyrst: come. And let whosoeuer
wyll, take of the water of lyfe, fre.
I testifye vnto euery man that heareth þe;
wordes of the prophesy of thys boke: note yf
eny m&abar; shall adde vnto these thynges, God
-- --
shall adde vnto hym the plages þt; are wrytten
in thys boke. And yf eny man shall mynisshe
of the wordes of the boke of this prophesy,
God shall take awaye hys parte out
of þe; boke of lyfe, and out of þe; holy cytie, and
from the thynges which are written in this
boke. He whych testifyeth these thynges,
sayeth: be it. I come quyckly. Am&ebar;.
Euen so come Lorde Iesu.
The grace of our Lorde
Iesu Christ be
wyth you
all.
Amen.
