9 And they n went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake o of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth p and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books q were opened: and another book r was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according s to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and 1 hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and a in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me. had a golden reed b to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations c of the wall of the city were garnished witn all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, d neither of the moon, to shine in it for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light e thereof.

24 And the nations f of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it and the kings g of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for h there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And i there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie but they which are written in the Lamb's book k of life.

16 And the city lieth four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length, and the breadth, and the height of it are e Eze.48.35. qual. fch.7.15.

17 And he measured the wall.

d Zec. 14.11.

ND he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In a the midst of the street b of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree c of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there d shall be no more curse: but the throne of God e and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.

4 And g they shall see his face; and his name h shall be in their foreheads.

5 And i there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: k and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and he Lord God of the holy prophets ent m his angel to show unto his ervants the things which must hortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly : n blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And 1 John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thous ch.20.12. do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not o the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

THE END

THAT man hath perfect blessedness, who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men,

Nor stands in sinners' way;
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
2 But placeth his delight
Upon God's law, and meditates
or his law day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree that grows
near planted by a river,
Which in his season yields his fruit,
and his leaf fadeth never:
And all he doth shall prosper well.
4 The wicked are not so;
But like they are unto the chaff,

which vind drives to and fro.

5 In judgment, therefore shall not stand such as ungodly are;

Nor in the assembly of the just

shall wicked men appear.

6 For why? the way of godly men unto the Lord is known: Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown.

PSALM 2.

WHY rage the heathen? and vain things why do the people mind?

2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,
and princes are combin'd
To prot against the Lord, and his
Anointed, saying thus,

3 Let us asunder break their bands,
and cast their cords from us.

4 He that in heaven sits, shall laugh; The Lord shall scorn them all.

5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
in rage he vex them shall.

6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have him
to be my King appointed;
And o'er Zion, my holy hill,
I have him King anointed.
7 The sure decree I will declare:
the Lord hath said to me,
Thou art mine only Son; this day

I have begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and for heritage the her then I'll make thine; And session, I to thee

w... give earth's utmost line.

9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod of iron, break them all;

And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt them dash in pieces small

10 Now, therefore, kings, be wise; be taugh ye judges of the earth:

11 Serve God in fear, and see that ye

join trembling with your mirth.

12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire ye perish from the way,

If once his wrath begin to bura bless'd all that on him stay

PSALM 3.

LORD, how are my foes incress'd; against me many rise.

2 Many say of my soul, For him in God no succour lies.

3 Yet thou my shield and glory art, th' uplifter of mine head.

4I cried, and from his holy hill the Lord me answer made.

5 I laid me down and slept; I wak for God sustained me.

6I will not fear though thousands ten set round against me be.

7 Arise, O Lord; save me, my God; for thou my foes hast stroke All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth of wicked man hast broke.

Salvation doth appertain

unto the Lord alone.

Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore thy people is upon.

PSALM 4.

GIVE ear unto me when I call,
God of my righteousness;
Have mercy, hear my prayer; thou het
enlarg'd me in distress.

20 ye the sons of men, how long
will ye love vanities?

How long my glory turn to shame, and will ye follow lies?

3 But know, that for himself the Lord

the godly man doth choose:

The Lord, when I on him do cali,

to hear will not refuse.

4 Fear, and sin not; talk with your heart on bed, and silent be.

5 Off rings present of righteousness,
and in the Lord trust ye.

60 who will show us any good?
is that which many say:
But of thy countenance the light,
Lord, lift on us alway.

7 Upon my heart, bestow'd by thee,
more gladness I have found,

did most with them abound.

I will both lay me down in peace, and quiet sleep will take: Because thou only me to dwell in safety, Lord, dost make.

PSALM 5.

GIVE ear unto my words, O Lord,

My meditation weigh.

Hear my loud cry, my King, my God; for I to thee will pray.

8Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will direct

My pray'r to thee; and, looking up, an answer will expect.

4 For thou art not a God that doth In wickedness delight;

Neither shall evil dwell with thee; 5 Nor fools stand in thy sight.

All that ill doers art thou hat'st;
6 Cutt'st off that liars be;
The bloody and deceitful man
abhorred is by thee.

7 But I into thine house will come
in thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear,
toward thy holy place.

8 Because of those mine enemies,
Lord, in thy righteousness
Do thou me lead; do thou thy way
make straight before my face.

9 For in their mouth there is no truth,
their inward part is ill;
Their throat 's an open sepulchre,
their tongue doth flatter still.
10 O God, destroy them; let them be
by their own counsel quell'd:
Them, for their many sins, cast out;
for they 'gainst thee rebell'd.

11 But let all joy that trust in thee, And still make shouting noise; For them thou sav'st; let all that love thy name in thee rejoice.

12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man thou wilt thy blessing yield; With favour thou wilt compass him about, as with a shield.

PSALM 6.

I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim: and I with tears my couch have watered.

7 Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows al because of all mine enemies.

8 Hence from me, wicked workers all; for God hath heard my weeping cries, 9 God hath my supplication heard;

my pray'r received graciously. 10 Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my fees, sham'd and back turned suddenly

Another of the same.

IN thy great indignation,
O Lord, rebuke me not;
Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand
in thy displeasure hot.

2 Lord, I am weak, therefore on me
have mercy, and me spare:
Heal me, O Lord, because thou know'st
my bones much vexed are.

My soul is vexed sore; but, Lord,
how long stay wilt thou make?

4 Return, Lord, free my soul, and save
me for thy mercy's sake.

5 Because of thee in death there shall
no more remembrance be:
Of those that in the grave do lie,
who shall give thanks to thee?
61 with my groaning weary am,
and all the night my bed

I caused for to swim; with tears
my couch I watered.

7 By reason of my vexing grief, mine eye consumed is;"

It waxeth old, because of all that be mine enemies.

8 But now, depart from me, all ye that work iniquity:

For why, the Lord bath heard my voies when I did mourn and cry.

9 Unto my supplication

the Lord did hearing give: When I to him my prayer make, The Lord will it receive:

10 Let all be sham'd and troubled sore, that en'mies are to me;

Let them turn back, and suddenly ashamed let them be.

PSALM 7.

O LORD my God, in thee do I my confidence repose: Save and deliver me from all My persecuting foes. 2 Lest that the enemy my soul should like a lion tear, In pieces rending it, while there is no deliverer.

3 O Lord my God, if it be so, that I committed this;

If it he so that in my hands . iniquity there is;
