¶ The .ix. Chapter.
¶ The fifth and syxt Angell blowe their trompettes:
the starre falleth from heauen: the locustes come
out of the smoke. The fyrst wo is paste: the foure angels
that were bo&ubar;de are losed, and the thyrde parte
of men is kylled.
A And the fyft Angell blewe, and I
saw a starre fall from heauen vnto
the erth. And to him was geuen
the kaye of the bottomlesse
pytt: And he opened the bottomlesse pytt,
and the smoke of the pytt arose as the smoke
of a gret fornace. And the sunne, and
-- --
the ayer were darckned by the reason of the
smoke of þe; pytt. And there came out of the
smoke locustes vpon the erth, ∧ vnto them
was geuen power, as the scorpions of the
erth haue power. And it was commaunded
them, that they shuld not hurt the grasse of
þe; erth: nether eny grene thynge: nether eny
tree: but onely those men which haue not þe;
seale in their forheades. And to them was
c&obar;ma&ubar;ded, that they shulde not kyll them,
but that they shulde be vexed .v. monethes,
∧ their payne was as the payne þt; commeth
of a scorpion, when he hath stonge a man.
noteAnd in those dayes shall men seke deeth,
and shall not finde it, ∧ shall desyre to dye,
and deeth shall flye from them.
B And the symilitude of the locustes was
lyke vnto horsses prepared vnto battayll,
∧ on their heades were as it were crounes,
lyke vnto golde, and their faces were as it
had bene þe; faces of men. And they had heere
as the heere of wemen. And their teethe
were as þe; teeth of ly&obar;s. And they had habbergions,
as it were habbergions of yron.
And the so&ubar;de of their winges, was as the
so&ubar;de of charrettes, when many horsses r&ubar;ne
to gether to battayle. And they had tayles
lyke vnto scorpi&obar;s, and there were stynges
&ibar; their tayles. And their power was to
hurt m&ebar; .v. monethes. And they had a kyng
ouer th&ebar;, which is þe; angell of þe; bottomlesse
pytt, whose name in the Hebrewe tong, is
Abadon: but in the Greke tonge, Apollion
þt; is to saye: a destroyer. One wo is past, ∧
beholde, two wooes come yet after this.
C And the syxt Angell blewe, and I herde
a voyce from the .iiii. corners of the golden
aultre, which is before God, sayinge to the
syxt Angell, which had the tr&obar;pe: Lose the
foure Angelles, which are bo&ubar;de in þe; grete
ryuer Euphrates. And the foure Angelles
were loosed, whych were prepared for an
houre, for a daye, for a moneth, ∧ for ayere,
for to slee þe; .iii. part of men. And the n&obar;bre
of horsmen of warre were .xx. thousande tymes
.x.M. And I herde the n&obar;bre of them:
∧ thus I sawe þe; horses in a vision, ∧ them þt;
sate on them, hauynge fyrye habbergi&obar;s of
a Iacincte couloure, ∧ brymstone, ∧ the heades
of þe; horses were as þe; heades of lyons.
D And out of their mouthes went forth fyre
and smoke, ∧ brymstone. And of these thre
was þe; thyrd part of men kylled: that is to
saye, of fyre, smoke, and brymstone: whych
proceded out of the mouthes of them: For
their power was &ibar; their mouthes ∧ in their
tayles, for their tayles were lyke vnto serpentes,
∧ had heades, ∧ with them they dyd
hurt: And þe; remana&ubar;t of þe; men whych were
not kylled by these plages, rep&ebar;ted not of
the dedes of their handes þt; they shulde not
worshyppe deuyls, ∧ ymages of golde and
syluer, and brasse, and stone, and of wood,
whych nether can se, nether heare, nether
go. Also they rep&ebar;ted not of their murther,
and of their sorcery, nether of their fornycacyon,
nether of their thefte.
