¶ The .iiii. Chapter.
¶ He seeth the heauen open, and the seate, and one
syttynge vpon it, and .xxiiii. seates aboute it with
xxiiii. elders syttynge vpon them, and foure beastes
praysing God daye and nyght.
A &cross2; After this I loked, and beholde
a dore was open in heau&ebar;, and
the fyrst voyce whych I hearde,
was as it were of a trompett talkynge
wyth me, whych sayde: come vp hyther,
and I wyll shewe the thynges: whych
must be fulfylled hereafter. And immediatly
I was in the sprete: ∧ beholde, a seate
was sett in heauen, and one sate on the
seate. And he that sat, was to loke vpon,
lyke vnto a Iasper stone and a Sardyne
stone. And ther was a rayne bowe aboute
þe; seate, in syght lyke to an Emeralde.
B And
aboute þe; seate were .xxiiii. seates. And vp&obar;
the seates .xxiiii. elders syttyng, clothed in
whyte rayment, and had on theyr heades
crownes of golde.
And out of the seate proceded lyghtnynges,
∧ thundrynges, ∧ voyces, ∧ ther were
seuen lampes of fyre, burnynge before the
seate, whych are the seuen spretes of God,
And before þe; seate ther was a see of glasse,
lyke vnto Cristal, and in the myddes of the
seate, ∧ rounde about the seate were foure
beastes full of eyes before ∧ behynde.
C And
the fyrst beast was lyke a lyon, ∧ the sec&obar;de
beaste lyke a calfe, ∧ the thyrde beast had
a face as a man, ∧ the fourth beast was lyke
a flyinge Egle. And þe; foure beastes had
eche one of them .vi. wynges about hym, ∧
they were full of eyes &wt; in. And they had
no rest daye nether nyght saying. noteHoly,
holy, holy, Lord God almyghty, whych
was, and is, and is to come.
D And when those beastes gaue glory and
honour ∧ thankes to hym þt; sate on the seate,
(which lyueth for euer ∧ euer) the .xxiiii. elders
fell downe before hym þt; sat on þe; trone
∧ worshypped hym that lyueth for euer &cross3;
∧ cast theyr crounes before þe; trone saying:
thou arte worthy o Lord (oure God) to receaue
glory, ∧ honoure, and power, for thou
hast created all thynges, ∧ for thy willes
sake they are, ∧ were created.
