Chap. IIII. note1. A doore being open in heauen, he savv one sitting in a throne, 4 and round about him foure and tvventie seniors sitting, 6 and the foure beastes here described, 9 vvhich vvith the 24 seniors continually glorified him that sate in the throne.

-- --

1   After these thinges I looked, and behold a doore open in heauen, and the first voice which I heard, vvas as it vvere of a trompet speaking vvith me, saying, Come vp hither, and I vvil shevv thee the thinges vvhich must be done quickly after these.

2   Immediatly I vvas in spirit: and behold there vvas a seate sette in heauen, and vpon the seate one sitting.

3   And he that sate, vvas like in sight, to the Iasper stone, and the Sardine: and there vvas a raine-bovv round about the seate, like to the sight of an Emeraud.

4   And round about the seate, foure and tvventie seates: and vpon the thrones, foure and twentie seniors sitting, clothed about in vvhite garmentes, and on their heades crovvnes of gold.

5   And from the throne proceeded lightenings, and voices, and thunders: and seuen lampes burning before the throne, vvhich are the seuen Spirites of God.

6   And in the sight of the seate, as it vvere a sea of glasse like to crystall: and in the middes of the seate and round about the seate note foure beastes ful of eies before and behind.

7   And the first beast, like to a lion: and the second beast, like to a calfe: and the third beast, hauing the face as it vvere of a man: and the fourth beast, like to an egle flying.

8   And the foure beastes, euery one of them had sixe vvinges round about: and vvithin they are ful of eies. and they had no rest day and night, saying,09Q1523 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God omnipotent, note vvhich vvas, and vvhich is, and vvhich shal come.

9   And vvhen those beastes gaue glorie and honour and benediction to him that sitteth vpon the throne, that liueth for euer and euer:

10   the foure and tvventie seniors fel dovvne before him that sitteth in the throne, and adored him that liueth for euer and euer, and cast their crownes before the throne, saying,

11   Thou art vvorthie O Lord our God to receiue glorie and honour and povver: because thou hast created al thinges, and for thy vvil they vvere and haue been created.
