Chap. XXI.
note noteHeauen and earth being made nevv, S. Iohn seeth the nevv citie Hierusalem prepared
and adorned for the spouse of the Lambe. 6 The iust are glorified, 7 and the
vvicked thrust into the poole of fire. 12 The vvall and gates and foundations
of the citie are described and measured: 18 al vvhich are gold and crystal,
pretious stones and pearles.
1 And I savv a nevv heauen and a nevv earth. for
note the first heauen, and the first earth vvas gone, &
the sea novv is not. note
2 And I Iohn savv note the holy
citie Hierusalem nevv descending from heauen,
prepared of God, as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: Behold note the
tabernacle of God vvith men, and he vvil dvvel vvith them.
And they shal be his people: and he God vvith them shal be
their God.
4 and note God shal note vvipe avvay al teares from
their eies: and death shal be no more. nor mourning, nor
crying, neither shal there be sorovv any more, note vvhich first
thinges are gone.
-- --
5 And he that sate in the throne, said: note Behold I make
al thinges nevv. &cross4; And he said to me: Vvrite, because these
vvordes be most faithful and true.
6 And he said to me: It is
done, note I am Alpha and Omega: the beginning and the end.
To him that thirsteth I vvil giue of the fountaine of the water
of life, gratis.
7 He that shal ouercome, note shal possesse
these thinges, and I vvil be his God: and he shal be my sonne.
8 But note to the feareful, and incredulous, and execrable, and
murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and Idolaters, and
al liers, their part shal be in the poole burning vvith fire and
brimstone, vvhich is the second death.
9 And there came one of the seuen Angels that had the
vials ful of the seuen last plagues, and spake vvith me, saying:
Come, & I vvil shevv thee the bride, the vvife of the Lambe. note
10 And he tooke me vp in spirit vnto a mountaine great and
high: and he shevved me the holy citie Hierusalem descending
out of heauen from God,
11 notehauing the glorie of God.
and the light thereof like to a pretious stone, as it vvere to the
iasper stone, euen as crystal.
12 And it had a vvall great and
high, hauing tvvelue gates, and in the gates tvvelue Angels, &
names written thereon, vvhich are note the names of the tvvelue
tribes of the children of Israël.
13 On the East, three gates:
and on the North, three gates: and on the South, three gates:
and on the Vvest, three gates.
14 And the vvall of the citie
hauing tvvelue foundations: and in them, tvvelue names, of
the tvvelue Apostles of the Lambe.
15 And he that spake vvith me, had a measure of a reede, of
gold, to measure the citie and the gates thereof, and the vvall.
16 And note the citie is situated quadrangle-vvise, and the length
thereof is as great as also the bredth: and he measured the citie
vvith the reede for tvvelue thousand furlonges, & the length
and height and bredth thereof be equal.
17 And he measured
the vvall thereof of an hundred fourtie foure cubites, the
measure of a man vvhich is of an Angel.
18 And the building
of the vvall thereof vvas of iasper stone: but the citie it self
09Q1565 pure gold, like to pure glasse.
19 And the foundations of the
vvall of the citie, vvere adorned vvith al pretious stone. The
first foundation, the iasper: the second, the saphire: the third,
the calcedónius: the fourth, the emerauld:
20 the fifth, the sardonix:
the sixt, the sardius: the seuenth, the chrysolithus: the
eight, the beryllus: the ninthe, the topázius: the tenth, the
-- --
chrysóprasus: the eleuenth, the hyacinthe: the tvvelfth, the
amethyste.
21 And the twelue gates: there are twelue pearles,
one to euery one: & euery gate vvas of one seueral pearle. &
the streate of the citie pure gold, as it vvere tr&abar;spárent glasse.
22 And note temple I savv not therein. for our Lord the God omnipotent
is the temple thereof, and the Lambe.
23 And note the
citie needeth not sunne nor moone, to shine in it. for the glorie
of God hath illuminated it, and the Lambe is the lampe
thereof.
24 And note the Gentiles shal vvalke in the light of it:
and the kinges of the earth shal bring their glorie and honour
into it.
25 And note the gates thereof shal not be shut by
day: for there shal be no night there.
26 And they shal bring
the glorie and honour of nations into it.
27 There shal note not
enter into it any polluted thing, nor that doeth abomination
and maketh lie, but note they that are vvritten in the booke of
life of the Lambe.
