THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 2
And to the messenger of the congregation in Pergamos write: This saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges. I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where *Sathans seat is, and thou keepest my name and hast not denied my faith. And in my days Antipas was a faithful witness of mine, which was slain among you, where Sathan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there, they that maintain the doctrine of Balaam which taught in Balak, to put occasion of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication. Even so hast thou them that maintain the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. But be converted, or else I will come unto thee shortly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Let him that hath ears, hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations. To him that overcometh will I give to eat Manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receives it.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 19
And I heard the voice of much people, even as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying: Alleluya, for God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him: for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife made herself ready. And to her was granted, that she should be arrayed with pure and goodly raynes. For the raynes is the righteousness of saints. And he said unto me, happy are they which are called unto the Lambs supper. And he said unto me: these are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet, to worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it not for I am thy fellow servant, and one of thy brethren, and of them that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse: and he that sat upon him was faithful and true, and in righteousness did judge and make battle. His eyes were as a flame of fire: and on his head were many crowns: and he had a name written, that no man knew but him self. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word of God. And the warriors which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure raynes: and out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he trod the *winefat of fierceness and wrath of almighty God. And hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written: king of kings, and Lord of Lords.
And I saw an Angel *stand in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly by the midst of heaven, come and gather your selves to gether unto the supper of the great God that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bond men, and of small and great. And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their warriors gathered to gether to make battle against him that sat on the horse and against his soldiers.
And the beast was taken and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beasts mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone: and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were full filled with their flesh.
of glister ...
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying: when there appeareth a rising in any mans flesh either a scab or a glistering white: as though the plague of leprosy ere in the skin of his flesh, then let him be brought unto Aaron the Priest or unto one of his sons the Priests, and let the Priest look on the sore that is in the skin of his flesh. If the hair in the sore be turned unto white, and the sore also seem to be lower than the skin of his flesh, then it is surely a leprosy, and let the Priest look on him, and judge him unclean.
If there be but a white pleck in the skin of his flesh, and seem not to be lower than the other skin nor the hair thereof is turned unto white: then let the Priest shut him up seven days. And let the Priest look upon him the seventh day: if the sore seem to him to abide still and to go no further in the skin, then let the Priest shut him up yet seven days more. And let the Priest look on him again the seventh day. Then if the sore be waxed blackish, and is not grown abroad in the skin, let the Priest make him clean, for it is but a scurf. And let him wash his clothes, and then he is clean. But and if the scab grow in the skin after that he is seen of the Priest again. If the Priest see that the scab be grown abroad in the skin, let him make him unclean: for it is surely a leprosy.
If the plague of leprosy be in a man, let him be brought unto the Priest, and let the Priest see him. If the rising appear white in the skin, and have also made the hair white, and there be raw flesh in the sore also: then it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh. And the Priest shall make him unclean, and shall not shut him up for he is unclean.
If a leprosy break out in the skin and cover all the skin from the head to the foot over all wheresoever the Priest looketh, then let the Priest look upon him. If the leprosy have covered all his flesh, let him judge the disease clean: for inasmuch as he is altogether white he is therefore clean. But and if there be raw flesh on him when he is seen, then he shall be unclean. Therefore when the Priest seeth the raw flesh, let him make him unclean. For inasmuch as his flesh is raw, he is unclean and it is surely a true leprosy. But and if the raw flesh depart again and change unto white, then let him come to the Priest and let the priest see him: If the sore be changed unto white, let the Priest judge the disease clean, and then he is clean.
When there is a *bile in the skin of any mans flesh and is healed and after in the place of the bile there appear a white rising either a shining white somewhat reddish, let him be seen of the Priest. If when the Priest seeth him it appear lower than the other skin and the hair thereof be changed unto white, let the Priest judge him unclean: for it is a very leprosy, that is broken out in the place of the *bile. But and if when the Priest looketh on it there be no white hairs therein neither the scab lower than the other skin and be somewhat blackish, then the Priest shall shut him apart seven days. If it spread abroad in the mean season, then let the Priest judge him unclean: for it is a leprosy. But and if the glistering white abide still in one place and go no further, then it is but the print of the *bile, and the Priest shall judge him clean.
When the skin of any mans flesh is burnt with fire that it be raw and there appear in the burning a glistering white that is somewhat reddish or altogether white, let the Priest look upon it. If the hair in that brightness be changed to white, and it also appear lower than the other skin, then it is a leprosy that is broken out in the place of the burning. And the Priest shall judge him unclean, for it is a leprosy. But and if (when the Priest looketh on it) he see that there is no white hair in the brightness, and that it is no lower than the other skin, and that it is also blackish, then let the Priest shut him up seven days. And if (when the Priest looketh on him the seventh day) it be grown abroad in the skin, let him judge him unclean: for it is a leprosy. But and if that brightness abide still in one place and go no further in the skin and be blackish, then it is but a rising in the place of the burning, and the Priest shall make him clean: for it is but the print of the burning only.
When either man or woman hath a breaking out upon the head or the beard, let the Priest see it. And if it appear lower than the other skin, and there be therein golden hairs and thin, let the Priest judge him unclean, for it is a breaking out of leprosy upon the head or beard. If (when the Priest looketh on the breaking out) he see that it is no lower than the other skin and that there are black hairs therein, let him shut him up seven days. And let the Priest look on the disease the seventh day: and if the breaking out be gone no further neither be any golden hairs therein neither the scab be lower than the other skin, then let him be shaven, but let him not shave the scab: and let the priest shut him up seven days more. And let the priest look on the breaking out the seventh day again: If the breaking out be gone no further in the skin nor more lower than the other skin, then let the priest judge him clean, and let him wash his clothes, and then he is clean. If the breaking out grow in the skin after that he is once judged clean, let the Priest see him. If it be grown abroad indeed in the skin, let the priest seek no further for any golden hairs, for he is unclean. But and if he see that the scab stand still, and that there is black hair grown up therein, then the scab is healed and he is clean: and the Priest shall judge him clean. If there be found in the skin of the flesh of man or woman a glistering white, let the Priest see it. If there appear in their flesh a glistering white somewhat blackish, then it is but freckles grown up in the skin: and he is clean.
If a mans hair fall off his head, then he is headbald and clean. If his hair fall before in his forehead, then he is foreheadbald and clean. If there be in the bald head or bald forehead a reddish white scab, then there is leprosy sprung up in his bald head or bald forehead. And let the priest see it: and if the rising of the sore be reddish white in his bald head or forehead after the manner of a leprosy in the skin of the flesh, then he is a leper and unclean: and the Priest shall judge him unclean, for the plague of his head. And the leper in whom the plague is, shall have his clothes rent and his head bare and his mouth muffled and shall be called unclean. And as long as the disease lasteth upon him, he shall be unclean: for he is unclean, and shall therefore dwell alone, and even without the host shall his habitation be.
When the plague of leprosy is in a cloth: whether it be linen or woollen, yea and whether it be in the warp or woof of the linen or of the woollen: either in a skin or any thing made of skin, if the disease be pale or somewhat reddish in the cloth or skin: whether it be in the warp or the woof or any thing that is made of skin, then it is a very leprosy, and must be showed unto the priest. And when the priest seeth the plague, let him shut it up seven days, and let him look on the plague the seventh day. If it be increased in the cloth: whether it be in the warp or woof or in a skin or in anything that is made of skin, then the plague is a fretting leprosy, and it is unclean: And that cloth shall be burnt, either warp or woof, whether it be woollen or linen or any thing that is made of skin wherein the plague is, for it is a fretting leprosy, and shall be burnt in the fire. If the priest see that the plague hath fretted no further in the cloth: either in the warp or woof or in whatsoever thing of skin it be, then let the priest command then to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and let him shut it up seven days more. And let the priest look on it again after that the plague is washed. If the plague have not changed his fashion though it be spread no further abroad, it is yet unclean. And see that ye burn it in the fire, for it is fret inward: whether in part or in all together. But and if the priest see that it is somewhat blackish after that it is washed, let him *rent it out of the cloth, or cut off the skin or out of the warp or woof. But and if it appear any more in the cloth either in the warp or in the woof or in anything made of skin, then it is a waxing plague. And see that ye burn that with fire, wherein the plague is. Moreover the cloth either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it be which thou hast washed and the plague be departed from it, shall be washed once again: and then it is clean. This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a cloth whether it be woollen or linen: either whether it be in the warp or woof, or in anything made of skins, to judge it clean or unclean.
But and if the Priest come and see that the plague hath spread no further in the house after that it is new plastered, then let him make it clean for the plague is healed. And let him take to cleanse the house withal: two birds, cedar wood, and purple cloth and hyssop. And let him kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel with running water: and take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the purple and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and sprinkle upon the house seven times, and cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the purple cloth. And he shall let the living bird flee out of the town into the wild fields, and so make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. This is the law of all manner plague of leprosy and breaking out, and of the leprosy of cloth and house: and of risings, scabs and glistering white, to teach when a thing is unclean or clean. This is the law of leprosy.
Hast thou given the horse his strength? or learned him to bow down his neck in fear: that he let himself be driven forth like a grasshopper, where as the stout neying that he maketh, is fearful? he breaketh the ground with the hoofs of his feet cheerfully in his strength, and runneth to meet the harness men. He layeth aside all fear, his stomach is not abated, neither starteth he back for any sword. Though the quivers rattle upon him, though the spear and shield glister: yet rusheth he in fearlessly, and beateth upon the ground. He feareth not the noise of the trumpets, but as soon as he heareth the shawmes blow, tush ( sayeth he ) for he smelleth the battle afar off, the noise, the Captains and the shouting.
Cometh it through thy wisdom, that the Goshawk flyeth toward the South? Doth the Eagle mount up, and make her nest on high, at thy commandment? He abideth in the stoney rocks, and upon the high tops of hard mountains, where no man can come. From thence may he behold his pray, and look far about with his eyes. His young ones are feed with blood, and where any dead body layeth, there he is immediately.
Moreover, God spake unto Job and said: Can he that striveth with the almighty, be at rest? Should not he which disputeth with God, give him an answer? Job answered the Lord, saying: Behold, I am too vile a person, to answer thee, therefore will I lay my hand upon my mouth. Once or twice have I spoken, but I will say no more.O' God, wherefore doest thou cast us so clean away? Why is thy *wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
O' think upon thy congregation, whom thou hast purchased of old from the beginning: the staff of thine inheritance, whom thou hast redeemed, even this hill of Sion wherein thou dwellest.
Tread upon them with thy feet, and cast them down to the ground, for the enemy hath destroyed all together in the Sanctuary.
Thine adversaries roar in thy houses, and set up their banners for tokens.
Men may see the axes glister above, like as those that hewn in wood.
They cut down all the ceiling work of the Sanctuary, they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name, even unto the ground. They have set fire upon the Sanctuary, and have defiled the dwelling place of thy name, even to the ground.
Yee they say in their hearts: Let us spoil them all together, thus they have burned up all the houses of God in the land.
Therefore who so feareth the Lord among you, let him hear the voice of his servant. Who so walketh in darkness, and no light shineth upon him, let him hope in the Lord and hold him by his God. But take heed, ye have all kindled a fire, and girded yourselves with flame: Ye walk in the glistering of your own fire, and in the flame that ye have kindled. This cometh unto you from my hand, namely that ye shall sleep in sorrow.
It chanced in the thirtieth year the fifth day of the fourth Month, that I was among the prisoners by the river of Cobar: where the heavens were opened, and I saw a vision of God. Now the fifth day of the month, made out the fifth year of King Joacins captivity. At the same time came word of the Lord unto Ezechiel the son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Caldees by the water of Cobar, where the hand of the Lord came him.
And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the North with a great cloud full of fire, which with his glistre lightening all round about. And in the midest of the fire it was all clear, and as it were the likeness of four beasts, which were fashioned like a man: saving that every one had four faces and four wings.
Their legs were straight, But their feet were like bullocks feet, and they glistered, as it had been fair scoured metal. Under their wings upon all the four corners they had mens hands. Their faces and wings were toward the four corners: yet were the wings so, that one ever touched another. When they went, they turned them not about: but each one went straight forward.
Upon the right side of these four, their faces were like the faces of a man, and the face of a Lion: But upon the left side, they had the face of an ox, and the face of an Eagle. Their faces also and their wings were spread out above: so that two wings of one touched ever two wings of another, and with the other they covered the body. Every one when it went, it went straight forward. Where as the spirit led them, *thither they went, and turned not about in their going.
The time will come also, that the great prince Michael, which standeth on thy people side, shall arise up, for there shall come a time of trouble, such as never was, since there began to be any people, unto that same time. Then shall thy people be delivered, yee all those that be found written in the book. Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to perpetual shame and reproof. The wise ( such as have taught other ) shall glister, as the shining of heaven: and those that have instruct the multitude unto Godliness, shall be as the stars, world without end.
And thou O Daniel, shut up these words, and seal the book to the last time. Many shall go about here and there, and then shall knowledge increase. So I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two: one upon this shore of the water, the other upon yonder side. And one of them said unto him, which was clothed in linen, and stood above upon the waters of the flood, How long shall it be to the end of these wonderous works?THE THIRD BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 8
Then commanded I a fasting unto the young men before our Lord, that i might desire of him a prosperous journey and a good way for us, yee for us, for our children and for the cattle, because of the layings in wait, and I durst not require of the king men of horse and foot, to convey us safely against our enemies, for we had said unto the king, that the power of the lord our God should be with them, that seek him with their whole heart. And therefore we besought God our Lord earnestly because of these things, and he was merciful unto us, and heard our prayer. And I separated from among the rulers of the people, and from the Priests of the temple, twelve men, and Sebeia and Asania, and ten men of their brethren with them. And I weighed them the gold and the silver and all the Priestly ornaments of the house of our God, which the king, and his council, and his Princes, and whole Israel had given. And when I had weighed it, I gave them an hundred and fifty talents in silver, an hundred talents of silver vessel, an hundred talents of gold, and of golden vessel seven times twenty, and vessels of other metal ( yee of good metal ) twelve *glistering as the gold, and I said unto them: ye also are holy unto the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is promised unto the Lord God of our fathers. Be diligent now and keep it, until the time that ye deliver it to the rulers of the people, to the Priests, to the Levites, and to the principal men of the cities of Israel in Jerusalem, and in the chamber of the house of our God.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 10
And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows: that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee, and that the Highest may give thee rest from thy labor and travail. And it happened, that when I was talking with her, her face did shine and glister, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be. And immediately she cast out a great voice, very fearful, so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman: and I looked, and behold, the woman appeared unto me no more: but their was a city builded, and a place was shown from the ground and foundation.
THE FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 6
As for the remnant of the horsemen, he set them upon both the sides in two parties with trumpets, to provoke the Host, and to stir up such as were slow in the army. And when the sun shone upon their shields of gold and steel, the mountains glistered again at them, and were as bright as the *cressettes of fire. The kings host was also divided, one part upon the high mountains, the other low beneath: so they went on, taking good heed, and keeping their order. And all they that dwelt in the land, were afraid at the noise of their host, when the multitude went forth, and when the weapons were smote together, for the host was both great and mighty. Judas also and his host entered into the battle, and slew six hundred men of the Kings army. Now when Eleasar the son of Savara did see one of the Elephants decked with the kings badge, and was a more goodly beast then the other: he thought the king should be upon him, and jeopardied himself to deliver his people, and to get him a perpetual name.
