Chap. XVII.
The harlot Babylon clothed vvith diuers ornaments, 6 and drunken of the bloud of
Martyrs, sitteth vpon a beast that hath seuen heades and ten hornes: 7 al which
things the Angel expoundeth.
1 And there came one of the seuen Angels
vvhich had the seuen vials, & spake vvith
me, saying, Come, I vvil shevv thee note the
damnation of the great harlot, vvhich
sitteth vpon note many vvaters,
2 vvith
vvhom the kings of the earth haue fornicated,
and they vvhich inhabite the earth
haue been drunke of the vvine of her vvhoredom.
3 And
he tooke me avvay in spirit into the desert. And I savv a wom&abar;
sitting vpon a scarlet coloured beast, ful of names of blasphemie,
hauing seuen heades, and ten hornes.
4 And the
vvoman vvas clothed round about vvith purple and scarlet;
and gilted vvith gold, and pretious stone, and pearles, hauing
a golden cup in her hand, ful of the abomination & filthines
of her fornication.
5 And in her forehead a name vvritten,
09Q1546 Mysterie:09Q1547 Babylon the great, mother of the fornications and
the abominations of the earth.
6 And I savv the vvoman
09Q1548 drunken of the bloud of the Sainctes, and of the bloud of
the martyrs of Iesvs. And I marueled vvhen I had seen her,
vvith great admiration.
7 And the Angel said to me, Vvhy
doest thou maruel? I vvil tel thee the mysterie of the woman,
and of the beast that carieth her, which hath the seuen heades
and the ten hornes.
8 The beast vvhich thou savvest, note vvas, and is not, and
shal come vp out of the bottomeles depth, and goe into destruction:
and the inhabitants on the earth (vvhose names
are not vvritten in the booke of life from the making of the
vvorld) shal maruel, seeing the beast that vvas, and is
-- --
not.
9 And here is vnderstanding, that hath vvisedom.
The seuen heades: are09Q1549 seuen hilles, vpon vvhich the
vvoman sitteth, and they are seuen kings.
10 Fiue are fallen,
one is, and an other is not yet come: & vvhen he shal come,
he must tarie a short time.
11 And the beast vvhich vvas, &
is not:09Q1550 the same also is the eight, and is of the seuen, & goeth
into destruction.
12 And the ten hornes vvhich thou sawest:
are note ten kings, vvhich haue not yet receiued kingdom, but
note shal receiue povver as kings one houre after the beast.
13 These haue one counsel and force: and their povver they
shal deliuer to the beast.
14 These shal fight vvith the Lambe,
and the Lambe shal ouercome them, because note he is Lord of
lordes, and King of kinges, & they that are vvith him, called,
and elect, and faithful.
15 And he said to me, The vvaters
vvhich thou savvest vvhere the harlot sitteth: are peoples,
and nations, and tonges.
16 And the ten hornes vvhich thou
savvest in the beast: these shal hate the harlot, and shal make
her desolate and naked, and shal eate her flesh, and her they
shal burne vvith fire.
17 for note God hath giuen into their
hartes, to doe that vvhich pleaseth him: that they giue their
kingdom to the beast, til the vvordes of God be c&obar;summate.
18 And the vvoman vvhich thou savvest: is09Q1551 the great citie,
vvhich hath kingdom ouer the kinges of the earth.
