But thou ( O' our God ) art sweet, long suffering and true, and in mercy
orderest thou all things. Though we sin, yet we are thine, for we know thy
strength. If we sin not, then are we sure, that thou regard us. For to know
thee, is perfect righteousness: Yee to know thy righteousness and power, is the
root of immortality. As for the thing that men have found out through their
evil science, it hath not deceived us: as the painting of a picture ( an
unprofitable labor ) an carved image, with diverse colors, whose sight enticeth
the ignorant: so that he honoreth and loveth the picture of the dead image that
hath no soul.
Nevertheless, they that love such evil
things, are worthy of death: they that trust in them, they that make them, they
that love them, and they that honor them. The potter also taketh and tempereth
soft earth, laboreth it, and giveth it the fashion of a vessel, whatsoever
serveth for our use: and so of one piece of clay he maketh some clean vessel for
service, and some contrary. But where to every vessel serveth, that knoweth not
the potter himself. So with his vain labor he maketh a God of the same clay:
this doth even he, which a little afore was made of earth himself, and within a
little while after ( when he dieth ) turneth to earth again.
Wherefore I desired, and understanding was given me: I called, and the spirit
of wisdom came in to me. I set more by her then by kingdoms and royal seats, and
counted riches nothing in comparison of her. As for precious stone I compared it
not unto her: for all gold is but gravel unto her, and silver shall be counted
but clay before her sight. I loved her above welfare and beauty, and purposed to
take her for my light, for her shine can not be quenched. All good things come
to me with her, and innumerable riches through her hands. And I was glad in them
all, for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of
all good things. Now as I myself learned unfainedly, so do I make other men
partakers of her, and hide her riches from no man: For she is an infinite
treasure unto men, which who so use, become partakers of the love and friendship
of God, and are accepted unto him for the gifts of wisdom.
God hath granted me to talk wisely, and
convenient to handle the things that he hath graciously lent me. For it is he,
that leadeth unto wisdom, and teacheth to use wisdom and right. In his hand are
we and our words: yee all our wisdom, our understanding and knowledge of all our
works. For he hath given me the true science of these things: so that I know
how the world was made, and the powers of the elements: The beginning, ending
and midst of the times: how the times alter, how one goeth after another, and
how they are fulfilled: the course of the year: the ordinances of the stars: the
natures and kinds of beasts: the furriousness of beasts: the power of the winds:
the imaginations of men: the diversities of young plants: the virtues of roots,
And all such things as are secret and not looked for, have I learned. For
the workmaster of all things hath taught me wisdom. In her is the spirit of
understanding, which is holy, manyfold, one only, subtle, courteous, discreet,
quick, undefiled, plain, sweet, loving the thing that is good, sharp, which
forbiddeth not to do well, gentile, kind, steadfast, sure, free having all
virtues, circumspect in all things: receiving all spirits of understanding,
being clear and sharp. For wisdom is nimbler then all nimble things: she goeth
through and attaineth to all things, because of her cleanness. For she is the
breath of the power of God, and a pure clean expressing of the clearness of
Almighty God. Therefore can no undefiled thing come unto her: for she is the
brightness of the everlasting light, the undefiled mirror of the majesty of God,
and the image of his goodness. And for so much as she is one, she may do all
things: and being steadfast herself she reneweth all, and among the people
conveyeth she herself in to the holy souls. She maketh Gods friends and
prophets: for God loveth no man, but him in whom wisdom dwelleth. For she is
more beautiful then the Sun and giveth more light then the stars, and the day is
not to be compared unto her: for upon the day cometh night. But wickedness can
not overcome wisdom, and foolishness may not be with her
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And after that, I saw another Angel come from heaven, having great power, and
the earth was lightened with his brightness. And he cried mightily with a strong
voice saying: Great Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation
of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and
hateful birds for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and
her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say:
come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath
remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her
double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which
she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so
much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I
sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt
with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her
and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived
wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand
afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the merchants
of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware
any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl,
and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels
of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass and of
iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and
oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants
of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear
of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that
great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold, and precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come
to nought.
And every ship governor, and all they that
occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off, and cried,
when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: what city is like unto this
great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing,
and said: Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships
in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made
desolate.
Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy
Apostles and Prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her. And a mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying:
with such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no
more. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters,
shall be heard no more in thee: and no crafts man, of whatsoever craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee. And the sound of a mill shall be heard no more
in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall be heard no
more in thee, for thy merchants were the great men of the
earth. And with thine enchantment were deceived all nations: and in her was
found the blood of the Prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain
upon the earth
And all the world was of one tongue and one language. And as they came from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sinear, and there they dwelled. And they said one to another: come on, let us make brick and burn it with fire. So brick was their stone and slime was their mortar. And they said: Come on, let us build us a city and a tower, that the top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, for peradventure we shall be scattered abroad over all the earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of Adam had builded. And the Lord said: See, the people is one, and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do. Come on, let us descend, and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth. Thus the Lord scattered them from there upon all the earth. And they left off to build the city. Wherefore the name of it is called Babell, because that the Lord there confounded the tongue of all the world. And because that the Lord from there scattered them abroad upon all the earth.
Finally my brethren, be strong in the
Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand
steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly
rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness, for heavenly
things.
For this cause take unto you the armour of
God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all
things.
Stand therefore, and your loins girt about
with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and shod with shoes
prepared by the Gospell of peace. Above all take to you the shield of faith,
wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. And pray
always with all manner prayer and supplication: and that in the spirit: and
watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints and for me,
that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter
the secrets of the Gospell, whereof I am a messenger in bonds, that therein I
may speak freely, as it becometh me to speak.
From the lowest to the highest,
they follow all filthy lucre: and from the Prophet unto the priest, they
deal with all lies. Nevertheless, they heal the hurt of my people with sweet
words, saying peace, peace where there is no peace at all.
*Fie for shame, how abominable things do
they? and yet they be not ashamed, yee they know no shame.
Wherefore in the time of their visitation,
they shall fall among dead bodies, sayeth the Lord.
Fie = used to express distaste or disapproval. *covetous lucre= unearned profit, unjust gain, and/ or gain (profit) acquired by violence and or usury and deception and guile (Heb) RN
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of man, tell her: Thou art an unclean land, which is not rained upon in the day of the cruel wrath: thy Prophets that are in thee, are sworn together to devour souls, like as a roaring Lion, that liveth by his prey. They receive riches and good, and make many widows in thee. Thy priests break my law, and defile my Sanctuary. They put no difference between the holy and unholy, neither discern between the clean and the unclean: they turn their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am unhallowed among you. Thy rulers in thee are like raving wolves, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, for their own *covetous lucre. As for thy Prophets, they daub with untempered clay, they see vanities, and prophecy lies unto thee, saying: the Lord God sayeth so, where as the Lord hath not spoken. The people in the land useth wicked extortion and robbery. They vex the poor and needy and oppress the stranger against right. And I sought the land for a man, that would make up the hedge, and set himself in the gap before me in the lands behalf, that I should not utterly destroy it: but I could find none. Therefore will I poured out my cruel displeasure upon them, and burn them in the fire of my wrath: their own ways will I recompense upon their heads saith the Lord God
*covetous lucre= unearned profit, unjust gain, and/ or gain (profit) acquired by violence and or usury and deception and guile (Heb) RN
There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown. And when the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that he had made man upon the earth, and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the sight of the Lord.
FIRST BOOK OF MOSES Chpt 4 the first "city"
And Adam lay with Heva his wife, which conceived and bare Cain, and said: I
have gotten a man of the Lord. And she proceeded forth, and bare his brother
Abel: And Abel became a shepherd, and Cain became a plowman.
And it fortuned in process of time, that
Cain brought of the fruit of the earth, an offering unto the Lord. And Abel he
brought also of the firstlings of his sheep, and of the fat of them. And the
Lord looked unto Abel and to his offering, but unto Cain and unto his offering
looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceedingly, and lowered. And the Lord said
unto Cain: why art thou angry, and why lowerest thou? Knowest thou not if thou
dost well thou shalt receive it? But and if thou dost evil, by and by thy sin
lieth open in the door. Notwithstanding let it be subdued unto thee, and see
thou rule it. And Cain talked with Abel his brother.
And as soon as they were in the fields,
Cain fell upon Abel his brother, and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain:
where is Abel thy brother? And he said: I cannot tell, am I my brothers keeper?
And he said: What hast thou done? The voice of thy brothers blood cryed unto me
out of the earth. And now cursed be thou as pertaining to the earth, which
opened her mouth to receive thy brothers blood of thine hand. For when thou
tillest the ground she shall henceforth not give her power unto thee. A vagabond
and a *runagate shalt thou be upon the earth.
And Cain said unto the Lord: my sin is
greater, than that it may be forgiven. Behold thou castest me out this day from
off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be
wandering and a vagabond upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will
kill me. And the Lord said unto him: Not so, but whosoever slayeth Cain shall be
punished sevenfold. And the Lord put a mark upon Cain that no man that found him
should kill him. And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt in the
land Nod, on the east side of Eden.
And Cain lay with his wife, which
conceived and bare Henoch. And he was building a city, and called the name
of it after the name of his son, Henoch. And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat
Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech. And Lamech
took him two wives: the one is called Ada, and the other Zilla: And Ada bare
Jabal, of whom came they that dwell in tents and possess cattle. And his
brothers name was Jubal, of him came all that exercise themselves on the harp
and on the organs. And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metal and a
father of all that grave in brass and iron. And Tubalcains sister was called
Naema.
Then said Lamech unto his wives Ada and
Zilla: hear my voice ye wives of Lamech and hearken unto my words, for I have
slain a man and wounded myself, and have slain a young man, and got myself
stripes: For Cain shall be avenged sevenfold: but Lamech seventy times
sevenfold. Adam also lay with his wife yet again, and she bare a son and called
his name Seth. For God (said she) hath given me another son for Abel whom Cain
slew. And Seth begat a son, and called his name Enos. And in that time began men
to call on the name of the Lord
*runagate (renegade; one who flees)

THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25
When the son of man cometh in
his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of
his glory, and before him shall be gathered all nations. And he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Then
shall the King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my
father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I
was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and
ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous
answer him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a
thirst, and gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or
naked and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto
thee? And the king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as
much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it to me.
Then shall the king say unto
them that shall be on the left hand: depart from me ye cursed, into
everlasting fire: which is prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was
an hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink. I was
harborless, and ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sick
and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal
THE SECOND OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 4
This Simon now ( of whom we spake afore ) being a betrayer of the money and of his own natural country, reported the worst of Onias: as though he had moved Heliodorus unto this, and as though he had been a bringer up of evil. Thus he was not ashamed call him an enemy of the realm, that was so faithful an overseer and defender of the city and of his people: yee and so fervent in the law of God. But when the malice of Simon increased so far, that through his friends there were certain manslaughters committed: Onias considered the peril that might come through this strife, and how that Apollonius ( namely the chief lord in Celosyria and Phenices ) was all set up tyranny, and Simons malice increased the same: He gat him to the king, not as an accuser of the citizens, but as one that by himself intended the common wealth of the whole multitude. For he saw it was not possible to live in peace, neither Simon to leave off from his foolishness, except the king did look thereto. But after the death of Seleucus, when *Antiochus ( which is called the noble ) took the kingdom: Jason the brother of Onias labored to be high priest: for he came unto the king, and promised him three hundred and sixty talents of silver, and of the other rents eighty talents. Beside this he promised him yet an hundred and fifty if he might have *the school of the children, and that he might call them of Jerusalem Antiochians. Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the superiority, he began immediately to draw his kinsmen to the custom of the Heathen, put down the things that the Jews had set up of love, by John the father of Eupolemius, which was sent ambassador unto Rome, for to make the bond of friendship and love. He put down all the Jews and Liberties of the Jews, and set up the wicked statutes. He durst make a frightening school under the castle, and set fair young men to learn the manners of whores and brodels.
This was now the beginning of the Heathenish and strange conversation, brought in through the ungracious and unheard wickedness of Jason, which should not be called a Priest, but an ungodly person. In so much that the priests were now no more occupied about the service of the altar, but despised the temple, regarded not the offerings: yee gave their diligence to learn to fight, to wrestle, to leap, to dance, and to put at the stone: not setting by the honor of the fathers, but liked the glory of the Greeks best of all: for the which they strove perilously, and were greedy to follow their statutes, yee their lust was in all things to be like them, which afore were their enemies and destroyers. How be it to do wickedly against the law of God, shall not escape unpunished: but of this we shall speak here after.
What time as the Olympiades sports were played at Tyrus ( the king himself being present ) this ungracious Jason sent *wicked men bearing from them of Jerusalem ( which were now called Antiochians ) three hundred drachmas of silver for an offering to Hercules. These had they that carried them, desired under such a fashion, as though they should not have been offered, but bestowed to other uses. Nevertheless he that sent them, sent them to the intent that they should be offered unto Hercules. But because of those that were present, they were given as to the making of ships. And Apollonius the son of Nesteus was sent into Egypt, because of the noble men of king Ptolomy Philometor. Now when Antiochus perceived that he was put out from meddling in the realm, he sought his own profit, departed from thence, came to Joppa, and then to Jerusalem: where he was honorably received of Jason and the city, and was brought in with torch light and with great praise: and so he turned his host unto Phenices
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
Every man
can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the
Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power,
all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the
wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the
Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I
shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes
shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to
another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against
the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the
bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep
us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help
you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler
of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and
counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto
anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they
declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites,
and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily
rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the
fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they
shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and
women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out
the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and
standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason
with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is
ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house.
Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus
shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
*ribaudes ( extortioners :MN).

I am come to send fire on earth: and what is
my desire, but that it were already kindled? Notwithstanding I must be baptised
with a baptism: and how am I pained till it be ended? Suppose ye that I am
come to send peace on earth? I tell you nay, but rather debate. For from
henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two
against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son
against the father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against
the mother. The mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law.
Then said he to the people: when ye see a
cloud rise out of the west straight way ye say: we shall have a shower, and so
it is. And when ye se the south wind blow, ye say: we shall have heat, and it
cometh to pass. Hypocrites, ye can skill of the fashion of the earth, and of
the sky: but what is the cause, that ye cannot skill of this time? Ye and why
judge ye not of yourselves what is right?
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 9
And the sixth Angel blew, and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet: Loose the four Angels, which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four Angels were loosed which were prepared for an hour, for a day, for a month, and for a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of horsemen of war, were twenty times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them: And thus I saw the horses in a vision, and them that sat on them having fiery habergeons of a Jacinth colour, and brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions. And out of their mouths went forth fire and smoke and brimstone. And of these three was the third part of men killed: that is to say, of fire, smoke, and brimstone, which proceeded out of the mouths of them: For their power was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did hurt: And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the deeds of their hands that they should not worship devils, and images of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither hear, neither go. Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcery neither of their fornication neither of their theft.

As the time of noe was, so likewise shall the coming of the son of man be. For as in the days before the flood: they did eat and drink, marry, and were married, even unto the day that Noe entered in to the ship, and knew of nothing, till the flood came and took them all away: So shall also the coming of the son of man be. Then two shall be in the fields, the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused, two shall be grinding at the mill the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused. Wake therefore, because ye know not what hour your master will come. Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would come: he would surely watch, and not suffer his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready, for in the hour ye think he would not: will the son of man come. If there be any faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over his household to give them meat in season convenient, happy is that servant whom his master (when he cometh) shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my master will defer his coming, and begin to smite his fellows, ye and to eat and to drink with the drunken: that servants master will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not ware of, and will divide him, and give him his reward with hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

And there were two evil doers led
with him to be slain. And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the evil doers, one on the right hand,
and the other on the left. Then said Jesus: father forgive them, for they *wot
not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And the people
stood and beheld.
And the rulers mocked him with them saying
he help other men, let him help himself, if he be Christ the chosen of God. The
soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar and said: if thou be
that king of the Jews save thy self. And his superscription was written over
him, in Greek, in Latin, and Hebreu: This is the king of the Jews.
And one of the evil doers which hanged,
railed on him saying: If thou be Christ save thy self and us. The other answered
and rebuked him saying, Neither fearest thou God because thou art in the same
damnation? We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds:
But this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus: Lord remember me
when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto
thee, today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: A woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And
she was with child and cried travailing in birth, and pained ready to be
delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, for behold a great
red dragon having seven heads, and ten horns and crowns upon his heads: and his
tail drew the third part of the stars, and cast them to the earth.
And the dragon stood
before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as
soon as it were born. And she brought forth a man child, which should
rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her son was taken up unto God, and to
his seat. And the woman fled into wilderness, where she had a place, prepared of
God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And there was a great battle in heaven,
Michael and his Angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his
Angels, and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. And
the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan was cast out.
Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels
were cast out also.
And I heard a loud voice saying: in heaven
is now made salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ. For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night. And
they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony,
and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the
devil is come down unto you which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw, that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the dragon cast out of his mouth water after the woman as it had been a river, because she should have been caught of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed, up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And I stood on the sea *stonde.
this flood is the wicked waters of any and all LIES ...especially evil spiritual lies ...even as the king james bible of Gog and Magog ...fills the land ...
even true evil ...evil masked in good ...evil masked in love ...
and how we must do the SAME THING ...bid Jesus that WE are able ( within IN abled ) to walk on the the wicked waters of satan THAT NOW FLOODS THE EARTH.
And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were born. JUSTIFICATION OF ABORTION comes to mind
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25
When the son of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory, and before him
shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. And he shall
set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Then shall the
King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my father,
inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I
was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I was
harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and ye
visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer
him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a thirst, and
gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or naked and
clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee? And the
king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as much as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
Then shall the king say unto them that
shall be on the left hand: depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire:
which is prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was an hungered, and
ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink. I was harborless, and
ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sick and in prison,
and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 3
In the third year of the fall of the city, I was at babylon, and lay
troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart: for I saw the
desolation of Sion, and the plenteous wealth of them that dwelt at babylon: and
my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak fearful words to the most
highest, and said: O' Lord, Lord, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou
planted the earth ( and that thyself alone) and gavest commandment unto the
people, and a body unto Adam, which was a creature of thy hands, and hast
breathed in him the breath of life: and so he lived before thee, and thou
leadest him into paradise, which garden of pleasure thy right hand had planted,
or ever the earth was made. And unto him thou gavest the commandment to love
thy ways, which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedest death in him,
and in his generations. Of him came nations, tribes, people and kindreds out of
number. And every people walked after their own will, and did nice things before
thee: and as for thy commandments, they despised them.
But in process of time thou broughtest the
water flood, upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyed them. And like as
the death was in Adam, so was the water flood also in these. Nevertheless one of
them thou leftest: namely Noe with his household, of whom came all righteous
men. And it happened that when they that dwell upon the earth, began to
multiply, and had gotten many children, and were a great people, they began to
be more ungodly than the first.
Now when they all lived so wickedly before
thee, thou chose thee a man from among them, whose name was Abraham. Him thou
lovest, and unto him only thou showest thy will, and made an everlasting
covenant with him, promising him, that thou wouldest never forsake his seed. And
unto him thou gavest Isaac, unto Isaac also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for
Jacob thou didest choose him, and put back Esau. And so Jacob became a great
multitude.
And it happened that when thou leadest his
feet out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sion, bowing down the
heavens, setting fast the earth, moving the ground, making the depths to shake,
and troubling the world: And thy glory went through four ports of fire, and
earthquakes, and winds, and cold: that thou mayest give the law unto the seed of
Jacob, and diligence unto the generation of Israel.
And yet tookest thou not away from them that
wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them. For the first Adam
bear a wicked heart, transgressed, and was overcome, and so be all that were
born of him. Thus remained weakness with the law in the heart of the people,
with the wickedness of the root: so that the good departed away, and the evil
abode still. So the times past and fled away, and the years were brought to an
end. Then didest thou raise up a servant called David, whom thou commandest to
build a city unto thy name, and to offer up incense and sacrifice unto thee
therein. This was done now many years. Then the inhabitors of the city forsook
thee, and in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for
they also had a wicked heart.
And so thou gavest the city over into the
hands of thine enemies. Are they of babylon then better and more righteous then
thy people, that they shall therefore have the dominion of Sion: For when I came
there, and saw their ungodliness, and so great wickedness, that it could not be
numbered: yee when my soul saw so many evil doers ( in the thirty year) my
heart failed me, for I saw, how thou sufferest them in such ungodliness, and
spareth the wicked doers: but thy own people thou hast routed out, and preserved
thine enemies, and this thou hast not showed me.
I cannot perceive how this happeneth. Do
they of babylon then better, then they of Sion: Or is there any other people,
that knoweth thee, saving the people of Israel? Or what generation hath so
believed thy covenants, as Jacob? And yet their reward appeareth not, and their
labor hath no fruit. For I have gone here and there through the Heathen, and I
see that they be rich and wealthy, and think not upon thy commandments. Weigh
thou therefore our wickedness in the balance, and theirs also that dwell in the
world, and so shall your name be no where found but in Israel. Or where is there
a people upon earth, that has not sinned before thee? Or what people hath so
kept thy commandments? Thou shalt find, that Israel by name hath kept thy
precepts, but not the other people and the Heathen
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 11
Then saw I a
dream: and behold, there came up from the sea an Eagle, which had twelve
wings and three heads: And I saw, and behold, *he spread his wings over all
the earth, and all the winds of the air blew in them, and so they were put
together again. And I beheld, and out of his feathers there grew other
little contrary feathers: the heads rested, the head in the midst was greater
than the others, yet rested it with the residue.
Moreover I saw, that the eagle flew with his
wings, and reigned upon the earth, and over all them that dwell upon the earth:
and I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto him, and no man spoke
against him, no not one creature upon the earth. I saw also that the Eagle
stood up on his claws, and give a sound with his feathers, and a voice
saying things after this manner: watch not all together, sleep every man in his
own place, and watch for a time, but let the heads be preserved at the last.
Nevertheless I saw, that the voice went not out of his heads, but from the midst
of his body. And I numbered his contrary feathers, and behold there were
eight of them. And I looked, and behold upon the right side there arose one
feather, and reigned over all the earth. And it happened, that when it reigned,
the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more. So the next
following stood up, and reigned, and had a great time: and it happened, that
when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared
no more.
Then came there a voice unto it, and said:
Hear thou that hast kept in the earth so long, this I say unto thee, before thou
beginest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain unto thy time.
Then arose the third, and reigned as the other afore, and appeared no more
also. So went it with all the residue one after the other, so that every one
reigned, and then appeared no more. Then I looked, and behold, in the process of
time that the feathers that followed were set up upon the right side, that they
might rule also: and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no
more: for some of them were set up, but ruled not. After this I looked, and
behold the twelve feathers appeared no more, and that two wings: and there were
no more upon the Eagles body, but the two heads that rested, and six feathers.
Then saw I also, that the six feathers were parted in two, and remained under
the head, that was upon the right side, for the four continued in their place.
So I looked, and behold, they that were under the wings, thought to set up
themselves, and to have the rule. Then was there one set up, but shortly it
appeared no more, and the second was sooner away than the first. And I beheld,
and lo, the two thought also by themselves to reign: and when they so thought,
behold there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in
the midst, for that was the greater of the two heads. And then I saw, that the
two heads were filled with him and the head was turned with them that were by
him, and eat up the two under wings , that would have reigned.
But this head put the whole earth in
fear, and bare rule in it, over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much
labor, and he had the governance of the world, over all the fowls that have
been. After this I looked , and behold, the head that was in the midst,
suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings: then came the two heads, which
ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. And I beheld, and lo
the head upon the right side, devoured it that was upon the left side. And I
heard a voice, which said unto me: look before thee, and consider the thing that
thou seest. Then I saw, and behold, as it were a lion that roareth, running
hastily out of the wood, and he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said:
Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee: Is it not
thou that hast the victory of the four beasts, whom I made to reign upon the
earth and in my world, and that the end of their times might come
through them?
And the fourth came, and *overwane, subdue
all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great
fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with the most wicked
labor, and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit, and the earth thou
hast not judged with truth. For thou hast troubled the meek, thou hast hurt the
peaceable and quiet, thou hast loved lies, and destroyed the dwellings of them
that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no
harm. Therefore is thy wrongeous dealing and blasphemy come up unto the
Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The Highest also hath looked upon the
proud times, and behold, they are ended, and their abominations are fulfilled. And
therefore appear no more thou Eagle, and thy horrible wings, and thy wicked
feathers, and thy ungracious heads, and thy sinful claws, and all thy vain body:
that the earth may be refreshed, and come again to herself, when she is
delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy
of him that made her

And where as thou sawest two underwings upon the head that is on the right side, it signifieth that it is they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is a small kingdom, full of trouble. The Lion whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking unto the Eagle, and rebuking him for his unrighteousness, is the wind, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and rent them asunder before them. For he shall set them living before the judgement, and shall rebuke them: for the residue of my people shall he deliver with trouble, those that be preserved over mine ends: and he shall make them joyful until the coming day of Judgement, where of I have spoken unto thee from the beginning. This is the dream that thou sawest, and this is the interpretation. Thou only hast been meat to know the secret of the Highest.

Then saw I a dream: and behold, there came up from the sea an Eagle, which
had twelve wings and three heads: And I saw, and behold, *he spread his wings
over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew in them, and so they were
put together again. And I beheld, and out of his feathers there grew other

that the feathers that followed were set up upon the right side, that they might

THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 13
And it happened after the seven days, that I dreamed a dream by night.
And behold, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the floods
thereof. And I looked, and behold, the man was strong and increased with the
clouds of heaven: And when he turned his countenance to consider, all the things
trembled that were seen under him: and when the voice went out of his mouth, all
they burnt that heard him, like as the earth when it feeleth the fire.
After these I saw, and behold there was
gathered together a multitude of men out of number from the four winds of the
heaven, to fight against the man, that came out from the sea. And I looked, and
behold, he graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would
have seen the border or place, where out the hill was graven, and I could not.
I saw after these, that all they which came
to fight against him, were sore afraid, and yet *durst they fight. Nevertheless
when he saw the fierceness and violence of the people, he neither lift up his
hand nor held sword, nor any weapon: but only (as I saw ) he sent out of his
mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips the wind of flame: and
out of his tongue he cast sparks and storms, and they were all mixed together :
the blast of fire, the wind of the flames, and the great storm, and fell with a
rush upon the people, which was prepared to fight and brunt them up everyone: so
that of the innumerable multitude there was nothing seen, but only dust and
smoke. When I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down
from the mountain, and calling unto him another peaceable people: and there came
much people unto him: some were glad some were sorry, some of them were bound,
so that they were carried and brought forth.
Then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said: thou hast shown thy servant all thy wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy, that thou mightest receive my prayer:
show me now yet this interpretation of this dream. For thus I consider in my
understanding: Woe unto them that shall be left in those days: and much more woe
unto them that are not left behind: for they that were not left, were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up
in the latter days which shall happen unto them, and to those that are not left
behind. Therefore they are come into great perils, and many necessities, like as
these dreams declare. Yet is it easier, that he which suffereth hurt come in
these, then to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and now to see the things
that shall happen in the last.
Then answered he me, and said: The
interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the
things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left
behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that
time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works
and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left
behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the
vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same
is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will
deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as
thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm,
and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him
destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth,
that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a
trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall
undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against
another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh
to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall
my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people
hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have
one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as
they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand
upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed,
being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven
forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for
their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their
pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out
any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the
fire.
And whereas thou sawest, that he gathered
another peaceable people unto him: those are the ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of *Oseas the King, whom *Salmanasar
the King of Assiria took prisoner, and carried them over the water, and so they
came into another land.
But they gave them this counsel, that they
should leave the multitude of the Heathen, and go forth into a farther country,
where never mankind dwelt: that they might there keep their statutes, which they
never kept in their own land. And so they entered in at the narrow passages of
water of the Euphrates, and God showed tokens for them, and held still the flood
till they were passed over: for through that country there was a great way,
namely of a year and a half journey, for that same region is called Asareth.
Then dwelt they there unto the latter time: and when they come forth again, the
Highest shall hold still the springs of the stream again, that they may go
through, therefore thou sawest the multitude with peace. And they that be left
behind of thy people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he
destroyeth the multitude that is gathered together, he shall defend his people
that remain, and then shall he show them great wonders.
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, show me this:
wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the deep of the sea? And he said
unto me: Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know these things that are in
the deep of the sea, even so mayest thou not see my son, or those that be with
him, but in the time of the day. This is the interpretation of the dream which
thou sawest, therefore thou only art here lightened: for thou hast forsaken
thine own law, and applied thy diligence unto mine, and sought it. Thy life thou
hast ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding your mother, and therefore
have I showed thee the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show
thee more, and talk with thee at more large, yee heavy and wondrous things will
I declare unto thee.
Then went I forth into the field, giving
praise and thanks greatly unto God, because of his wonders which he did in time,
and because he governeth the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat three
days

Behold speak thou in the ears of my people the words of the
prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth, sayeth the Lord: and cause this to be
written in a letter, for it is the truth. Fear not the imaginations against
thee, let not the unfaithfulness of them trouble thee, that speak against thee.
For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness. Behold sayeth the
Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world, the sword hunger, death and
destruction: for wickedness hath the upper hand in all the earth, and their
shameful works are fulfilled.
Therefore sayeth the Lord: I will hold my
tongue no more unto their wickedness, which they do so ungodly: neither will I
suffer them in the things, that they deal with all so wickedly. Behold the
innocent blood of the troubled crieth unto me, and the souls of the righteous
complain continually: And therefore (sayeth the Lord) I will surely avenge and
recause unto me all the innocent blood from among them.
Behold, my people, is led as a flock of
sheep to be slain, I will not suffer them now to dwell in Egypt, but will bring
them out with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite it with plagues
as before, and will destroy all the land of it. Egypt will mourn, and the
foundations of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment, that God
shall bring upon it.
They that till the ground, shall mourn: for
their seeds shall be destroyed through the blasting and hail, and an horrible
star Do warneth the world and them that dwell therin, for the sword and their
destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up to fight against
another, and swords in their hands. For men shall be unsteadfast, and some shall
do violence unto the other: they shall not regard their king and princes, the
ways of their doings and the handlings in their power. A man shall desire to go
into the city, and shall not be able. For because of their pride the cities
shall be brought in fear, the houses shall shake, and men shall be afraid. A man
shall have no pity upon his neighbor, but one shall provoke another unto battle
to spoil their goods because of the hunger of bread, and because of the great
trouble.
Behold, I gather together and call together
all the kings of the earth which are from the uprising, from the South, from the
East and Libanus to turn unto them, and restore the things they have given them.
Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense
them in their bosom. Thus sayeth the Lord God: My right hand shall not spare the
sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them, that shed the innocent blood
upon the earth. The fear has gone out from his wrath, and the sinners like the
straw that is kindled. Do warneth them that sin, and keep not my commandments,
sayeth the Lord. I will not spare them. Go your way ye children from violence,
defile not my sanctuary: for the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and
therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction: for now are the plagues
come upon the world, and ye shall remain in them. For God shall not deliver you,
because you have sinned against him.
Behold, an horrible vision cometh from
the East, where generations of Dragons shall come out, and the people of the
Arabes with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be as the wind upon
the earth, that all that hear them raging in their wrath, may fear and be
afraid: and as the wild boars out of the wood, so shall they go out, and with
great power shall they come, and stand fighting with them, and shall waste the
portion of the land of the Assirians.
And then shall the Dragons have the upper
hand, not remembering their birth, and shall turn about swearing together in
great power, to persecute them. But these shall be afraid, and keep silence at
their power, and shall flee: and one out of the land of the Assirians shall
besiege them, and consume one of them, and in their host shall be fear and
dread, and strife among their kings.
Behold clouds from the East, and from the
North unto the South, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and
storm. They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite at the great star
upon earth and their star, and the blood shall be from the sword unto the belly,
and the smoke of man unto the camels litter: And there shall be great
fearfulness and trembling upon the earth, and they that see wrath shall be
afraid, and a trembling shall come upon them.
And then shall there come great rains from
the South and from the North, and part from the West, and from the stormy wind
from the East, and shall shut them up again, and the cloud which he raised up in
wrath, and the star to cause fear toward the East and West wind, shall be
destroyed: and the great clouds shall be lift up, and the mighty clouds full of
wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid and them that dwell
therin, and that they may pour out over all places an horrible star, fire and
hail and flying swords, and many waters: that all fields may be full, and all
rivers, and they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, all
trees, wood, and the grass of the meadows, and all their fruit. And they
shall go steadfast into babylon, and make her afraid, they shall come to her and
besiege her: the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her.
Then shall the dust and smoke go up unto
heaven, and all they that be about her, shall bewail her: and they that remain
under her, shall do service unto them that have put her in fear: And thou
Asia that comfort thyself also upon the hope of babylon, and art a worshipper of
her person: Woe be unto thee thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like
unto her, and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might triumph and
please thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee: thou
hast followed the abominable city in all her works and inventions.
Therefore sayeth God: I will send plagues
upon thee, widowhood, poverty, hunger, wars, and pestilence, to waste thy houses
with destruction and death, and the glory of thy power shall be dried up as a
flower, when the heat ariseth that is sent over thee. Thou shalt *bespeck as a
poor wife that is plagued and beaten of women: so that the mighty and lover
shall not be able to receive thee. Would I so hate thee sayeth the Lord? If thou
haddest not always slain my chosen, exalting the stroke of thy hands, and said
over their death, when thou wast drunken: set forth the beauty of thy
countenance.
The reward of thy whoredom shall be
recompensed thee in thy bosom, therefore shalt thou receive reward.
Like as thou hast done unto my chosen (
sayeth the Lord ) even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into
the plague. Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shall fall through the
sword. Thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine shall perish with the
sword in the field. They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat
their own flesh, and drink their own blood for very hunger of bread and thirst
of water. Thou unhappy shalt come through the sea, and receive plagues again.
In the passage they shall cast down the
slain city, and shall root out one part of thy land, and consume the portion of
thy glory. They shall tread thee down like stubble, and they shall be thy fire
and shall consume thee: thy cities and thy land, thy wood and thy fruitful trees
shall they burn up with the fire. Thy children shall they carry away captive,
and look what thou hast, they shall spoil it, and mar the beauty of thy face

THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 16
Woe be unto thee babylon and Asia, woe be unto thee Egypt and Syria:
gird yourselves with clothes of sack and hear, and mourn for your children, be
sorry, for your destruction is at hand. A sword is sent upon you, and who
will turn it back? A fire is kindled among you, and who will quench it: Plagues
are sent unto you, and what is he that will drive them away? May any man drive
away an hungry lion in the woods? Or may any man quench the fire in the stubble,
when it hath gone to burn? May one turn again the arrow, that is shot of a
strong archer? The mighty Lord sendeth the plagues, and what is he that will
drive them away? The fire is kindled and gone forth in his wrath, and what is he
that will quench it? He shall cast lightings, and who shall not fear? He shall
thunder, and who shall not be afraid: The Lord shall threaten and who shall not
utterly be beaten to powder at his presence? The earth quaketh, and the
foundations thereof: the sea ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the floods
of it are unquiet and the fishes thereof also before the Lord, and before the
glory of his power. For strong is his right hand that holdeth the bow, his
arrows that he shooteth, are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be
shot to the ends of the world.
Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not
turn again, till they come upon the earth. The fire is kindled, and shall not be
put out, till it consume the foundations of the earth. Like as an arrow shot of
a mighty archer, returneth not backward: even so the plagues that shall be sent
upon the earth, shall not turn again. Woe is me, woe is me, who will deliver me
in those days? The beginning of sorrows and great mourning: the beginning of *darth
and great death: the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear: the
beginning of evils, and they shall tremble everyone. What shall I do in these
things, when the plagues come? Behold, hunger, and plague, trouble and anguish
are sent, as scourging for amendment. But for all these things they shall not
turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourging.
Behold, vitals shall be so good cheap upon
the earth, that they shall think them selves to be in good case? And even then
shall mischief grow up upon the earth, wars, darth and great disquietness. For
many of them that dwell upon the earth shall perish of hunger, and the other
that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy: And the dead shall be cast out
as dung, and there should be no man to comfort them. For the earth shall be
wasted, and the cities shall be cast down: there shall be no man left to till
the earth and to sew it. The trees shall give fruit, and who shall pluck them of
and gather them? The grapes shall be ripe, and who shall tread them: for all the
places shall be desolate of men, so that one man shall desire to see another, or
to hear his voice. For of one whole city there shall be ten left, and two in the
field, which shall hide themselves in the thick bushes, and in the cliffs of
stones: like as when there remain three or four olives upon the tree, or as when
a vineyard is gathered there are left some grapes, of them that diligently
sought through the vineyard.
Even so, in those days there shall be three
or four left, for them that search their houses with the sword. And the earth
shall be left waste, and the fields thereof shall wear old: and her ways and her
paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel there through. The
daughters shall mourn, having no bridegrooms: the women shall make lamentation,
having no husbands, their daughters shall mourn, having no help of their bride
groom. In the wars shall they be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of
hunger. O' ye servants of the Lord, hear these things, and mark them. Behold,
the word of the Lord, O' receive it: behold the plagues draw near, and are not
slack in tarrying. Like as a travailing woman, which after nine months bringeth
forth a son, when the hour of the birth is come, an hour two or three afore that
the pains come upon her body, and when the child cometh to the birth, they tarry
not the twinkling of an lie: Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon
the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every
side.
O' my people, hear my word, make you ready
to the battle: and in all evil be as pilgrims upon the earth He that selleth,
let him be as he that flyeth his way: and he that buyeth, as one that will
lease. Who so occupieth merchandise, as he that winneth not: and he that
buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therin: he that soweth, as one that shall
not reap: he that twisteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes:
they that marry, as they that shall get no children: and they that marry not, as
the widows: and therefore they that labor, labor in vain. For strangers shall
reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their
children captive, for in captivity and hunger shall they get children. And they
that occupy their merchandise with robbery, how long deck they their cities,
their houses, their possessions, their persons? the more will I punish them for
their sins, sayeth the Lord. Like as an whore envieth an honest woman, so shall
righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to
her face, when he cometh that defendeth, which shall make inquisition for all
sin upon the earth. And therefore be not ye like thereunto, near to the works
thereof: for or ever it be long, iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth,
and righteousness shall reign among you.
Let not the sinner say, that he hath not
sinned: for coals of fire shall burn upon his head, which sayeth before the Lord
God and his glory: I have not sinned. Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of
men, their imaginations, their thoughts and their hearts. For he spoke but the
word: let the earth be made, and it was made: let the heaven be made, and it was
made. In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them. He
searcheth the ground of the deep, and the treasures thereof: he hath measured
the sea, and what it containeth. He hath shut the sea in the midst of the
waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters. He spreadeth
out the heaven like a *vawte, upon the waters hath he founded it. In the desert
a dry wilderness hath he made springs of water, and poles upon the tops of
mountains, that the floods might pour down from the stony rocks to water the
earth. He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him
breath, life and understanding, yee and the spirit of the Almighty God, which
made all things, and hath searched the ground of all the secrets of the earth.
He knoweth your imaginations and inventions,
and what ye think when ye sin, and would hide your sins. Therefore hath the Lord
searched and sought out all your works, and he shall *bewray you all. And when
your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins
shall be your accusers in that day. What will ye do? Or how will ye hide your
sins before God and his Angels? Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him,
leave off from your sins, and forget your unrighteousness, and meddle no more
with them: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble. For
behold, the heat of the great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take
away certain of you, and feed the idle with Idols: and they that consent unto
them, shall be had in *derision, laughed to scorn, and trodden under foot.
For unto the places there shall be a place,
and in the next cities a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. They
shall be like madmen, they shall spare no man: they shall spoil and waste such
as fear the Lord, their goods shall they take from them, and shut them out of
their houses. Then shalt it be known who are my chosen, and they shall be tried
as the gold in the fire. Hear O' ye my beloved, sayeth the Lord: behold, the
days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same. Be not
afraid, despair not, for God is your captain.
Who so keepeth my commandments and precepts
( sayeth the Lord God ) let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your
unrighteousness be lift up. Woe be unto to those that are subdued unto their own
sins, and tangled in their wickednesses: like as a field is hedged in with
bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel
through: and so is he taken, and cast in the fire, and burnt
*darth=famine, lack. *vawte, ( vault ; from Mid Eng vaute:
meaning an arched overhead covering). *bewray (disclose, reveal, uncover).
*derision; laughed to scorn, and trod under foot contempt.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 14
And I looked, and lo a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred
and forty four thousand having his fathers name written in their foreheads. And
I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the voice of a
great thunder. And I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps. And
they sang as it were a new song, before the seat, and before the four beasts,
and the elders, and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty four
thousand which were redeemed from the earth. These are they, which were not
defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the lamb whithersoever he
goeth. These were redeemed from men being the first fruits unto God and to the
lamb, and in their mouths was found no guile. For they are with out spot before
the throne of God.
And I saw an angel fly in the midst of
heaven having an everlasting gospel, to preach unto them that sit and dwell on
the earth, and to all nations, kindreds, and tongues and people, saying with a
loud voice: Fear God and give honour to him, for the hour of his judgement is
come: and worship him, that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and fountains of
water. And there followed another angel, saying: babylon is fallen is
fallen that great city, for she made all nations drink of the wine of her
fornication.
And the third angel followed them saying
with a loud voice: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or on his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he shall be punished
in fire and brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lamb.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
evermore. And they have no rest day nor night, which worship the beast and his
image and whosoever receiveth the print of his name. Heare is the patience of
saints. Heare are they that keep the commandments and the faith of *Jesu.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me: write: Blessed are the dead, which here after die in the Lord, even so saith
the spirit: that they may rest from their labors, but their works shall follow
them. And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like
unto the son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle. And another Angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to
him that sat on the cloud. Thrust in thy sickle and reap for the time is come to
reap, for the corn of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in
his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
And another Angel came out of the temple,
which is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle. And another Angel came out from
the altar, which had power over fire, and cried with a loud cry to him that had
the sharp sickle, and said: thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters
of the earth, for her grapes are ripe. And the Angel thrust in his sickle on the
earth: and cut down the grapes of the vineyard of the earth: and cast them into
the great *winefat of the wrath of God, and the winefat was trodden without the
city, and blood came out of the *fat, even unto the horse bridles by the space
of a thousand and six hundred furlongs
*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus *winefat, *fat; exact spelling, fat can mean from the best part of something or worse; in this case the best ( perfect ) of God’s wrath
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 16
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven Angels: go
your ways, pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth. And the first went, and
poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a noisome and a sore botch
upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
image. And the second Angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it
were into the blood of a dead man: and every living thing died in the sea. And
the third Angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and
they turned to blood. And I heard an Angel say: Lord which art and wast, thou
art righteous and holy, because thou hast given such judgements for they shed
out the blood of saints, and Prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood
to drink: for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say: even so
Lord God almighty true and righteous are thy judgements.
And the fourth Angel poured out his vial on
the sun, and power was given unto him to vex men with heat of fire. And the men
raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over
those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory. And the fifth Angel
poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom waxed dark, and
they gnawed their tongues for sorrow, and blasphemed the God of heaven for
sorrow and pain of their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
And the sixth Angel poured out his vial upon
the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up that the ways of the kings of
the east should be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out
of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false Prophet. For they are the spirits of devils working miracles,
to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God almighty. Behold I come as a thief. Happy is
he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he be found naked, and men see
his filthiness. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armagedon.
And the seventh Angel poured out his vial
into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying: it is
done. And there followed voices thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a
great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, And
the cities of nations fell. And great babylon came in remembrance before God,
to give unto her the cup of wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Every isle fled
away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell a great hail, as it had
been talents, out of heaven upon the men, and the men blasphemed God: because of
the plague of the hail, for it was great and the plague of it sore
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 17
And there came one of the seven Angels, which had the seven vials: and
talked with me, saying unto me: come I will show thee the judgement of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters, with whom have committed fornication the
kings of the earth, so that the inhabiters of the earth, are drunken with the
wine of her fornication. And he carried me away into the wilderness in the
spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a rose colored beast full of names of
blasphemy which had ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and rose
colour and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold
in her hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. And in
her forehead was a name written, a mystery, great babylon the mother of whoredom
and abominations of the earth. And I saw the wife drunken with the blood of
saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of *Jesu. And when I saw her: I
wondered with great marvel.
And the Angel said unto me: wherefore
marvellest thou? I will show thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast
that beareth her, which hath seven heads, and ten horns. The beast that thou
seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go
into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder (whose names are
not written in the book of life from the beginning of the world) when they
behold the beast that was and is not. And here is a mind that hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth: they are also seven kings. Five are fallen, and one is,
and another is not yet come. When he cometh he must continue a space. And the
beast that was, and is not, is even the eighth, and is one of the seven, and
shall go into destruction. And the ten horns which thou seest, are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom, but shall receive power as kings at one hour
with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength
unto the beast. These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome
them: For he is Lord of lords, and king of kings and they that are on his side,
are called, and chosen and faithful.
And he said unto me: the waters which thou
sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and folk, and nations, and tongues.
And the ten horns, which thou sawest upon the beast, are they that shall hate
the whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and
burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts, to fulfil his will, and to
do with one consent, for to give her kingdom unto the beast, until the words of
God be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest, is that great city, which
reigneth over the kings of the earth
*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And after that, I saw another Angel come from heaven, having great
power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness. And he cried mightily
with a strong voice saying: Great babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become
the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all
unclean and hateful birds for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say:
come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath
remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her
double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which
she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so
much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I
sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt
with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her
and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived
wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand
afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city babylon,
that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the merchants of the
earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any
more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and
raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels of
ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass and of iron,
and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil,
and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants of these
things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the
punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that great city,
that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to nought.
And every ship governor, and all they that
occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off, and cried,
when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: what city is like unto this
great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing,
and said: Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships
in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made
desolate.
Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy
Apostles and Prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her. And a mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying:
with such violence shall that great city babylon be cast, and shall be found no
more. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more in thee: and no crafts man, of whatsoever
craft he be, shall be found any more in thee. And the sound of a mill shall be
heard no more in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall
be heard no more in thee, for thy merchants were the great men of the earth. And
with thine enchantment were deceived all nations: and in her was found the blood
of the Prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth
ST. PAUL TO THE ROMANS Chpt 16
I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause division and give occasions of evil, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoid them. For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus Christ: but their own bellies, and with sweet preachings and flattering word deceive the hearts of the innocents. For your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and to be innocent as concerning evil. The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with you.
THE SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11
If the truth of Christ be in me, this rejoicing shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth. Nevertheless what I do, that will I do, to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice. For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion them selves like unto the Apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion them selves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their deeds.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
This understand, that in the last days shall come parlous times. For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more then lovers of God, having a similitude of Godly living, but have denied the power thereof: and such abhor. Of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of *diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded,
traitors,
heady, high minded,
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 17
When he was
demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come he answered them
and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with waiting for. Neither shall men say:
Lo here, lo there. For behold the kingdom of God is with in you.
And he said unto the disciples: The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and ye shall
not see it. And they shall say to you: See here, See there. Go not after them,
nor follow them, for as the lightning that appeareth out of the one part of the
heaven: and shineth unto the other part of heaven. So shall the son of man be in
his days. But first must he suffer many things, and be refused of this nation.
As it happened in the time of Noe: So
shall it be in the time of the son of man. They ate, they drank, they married
wives and were married, even unto the same day that Noe went into the Ark: and
the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise also, as it chanced in the days
of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. And
even the same day that Lot went out of *Zodom, it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them all. After these examples, shall it be in the
day when the son of man shall appear.
At that day he that is on the house top and
his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let
not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind. Remember
Lots wife. Whosoever will go about to save his life, shall lose it: And
whosoever shall lose his life, shall save it. I tell you in that night, there
shall be two in one bed, that one shall be received and the other shall be
forsaken. Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and
the other forsaken. And they answered, and said unto him: where Lord? And he
said unto them: wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles
resort.
*trow (think) *Zodom (Sodom),
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 13
And it happened after the seven days, that I dreamed a dream by night.
And behold, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the floods
thereof. And I looked, and behold, the man was strong and increased with the
clouds of heaven: And when he turned his countenance to consider, all the things
trembled that were seen under him: and when the voice went out of his mouth, all
they burnt that heard him, like as the earth when it feeleth the fire.
After these I saw, and behold there was
gathered together a multitude of men out of number from the four winds of the
heaven, to fight against the man, that came out from the sea. And I looked, and
behold, he graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would
have seen the border or place, where out the hill was graven, and I could not.
I saw after these, that all they which came
to fight against him, were sore afraid, and yet *durst they fight. Nevertheless
when he saw the fierceness and violence of the people, he neither lift up his
hand nor held sword, nor any weapon: but only (as I saw ) he sent out of his
mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips the wind of flame: and
out of his tongue he cast sparks and storms, and they were all mixed together :
the blast of fire, the wind of the flames, and the great storm, and fell with a
rush upon the people, which was prepared to fight and brunt them up everyone: so
that of the innumerable multitude there was nothing seen, but only dust and
smoke. When I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down
from the mountain, and calling unto him another peaceable people: and there came
much people unto him: some were glad some were sorry, some of them were bound,
so that they were carried and brought forth.
Then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said: thou hast shown thy servant all thy wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy, that thou mightest receive my prayer:
show me now yet this interpretation of this dream. For thus I consider in my
understanding: Woe unto them that shall be left in those days: and much more woe
unto them that are not left behind: for they that were not left, were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up
in the latter days which shall happen unto them, and to those that are not left
behind. Therefore they are come into great perils, and many necessities, like as
these dreams declare. Yet is it easier, that he which suffereth hurt come in
these, then to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and now to see the things
that shall happen in the last.
Then answered he me, and said: The
interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the
things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left
behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that
time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works
and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left
behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the
vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same
is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will
deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as
thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm,
and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him
destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth,
that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a
trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall
undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against
another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh
to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall
my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people
hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have
one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as
they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand
upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed,
being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven
forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for
their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their
pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out
any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the
fire.
And whereas thou sawest, that he gathered
another peaceable people unto him: those are the ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of *Oseas the King, whom *Salmanasar
the King of Assiria took prisoner, and carried them over the water, and so they
came into another land.
But they gave them this counsel, that they
should leave the multitude of the Heathen, and go forth into a farther country,
where never mankind dwelt: that they might there keep their statutes, which they
never kept in their own land. And so they entered in at the narrow passages of
water of the Euphrates, and God showed tokens for them, and held still the flood
till they were passed over: for through that country there was a great way,
namely of a year and a half journey, for that same region is called Asareth.
Then dwelt they there unto the latter time: and when they come forth again, the
Highest shall hold still the springs of the stream again, that they may go
through, therefore thou sawest the multitude with peace. And they that be left
behind of thy people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he
destroyeth the multitude that is gathered together, he shall defend his people
that remain, and then shall he show them great wonders.
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, show me this:
wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the deep of the sea? And he said
unto me: Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know these things that are in
the deep of the sea, even so mayest thou not see my son, or those that be with
him, but in the time of the day. This is the interpretation of the dream which
thou sawest, therefore thou only art here lightened: for thou hast forsaken
thine own law, and applied thy diligence unto mine, and sought it. Thy life thou
hast ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding your mother, and therefore
have I showed thee the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show
thee more, and talk with thee at more large, yee heavy and wondrous things will
I declare unto thee.
Then went I forth into the field, giving
praise and thanks greatly unto God, because of his wonders which he did in time,
and because he governeth the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat three
days
