ise, and every man shall receive according to his works." This he does
till he comes to the twelfth chapter, then he tells him, "The fights of
the dragon with the woman, and her seed that kept the commands of her God,
and kept the testimony of Jesus Christ." Then he tells him, "the two
empires of the two beasts, Antichrist and the Turk, and the manner of
every one of them." Then he tells, "The noble company of the Lamb that
stands in mount Zion, even the hundred and forty and four thousand, having
their Father's name written on their fore-heads; and how he heard a voice
from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great
thunder; and he heard the noise of harpers harping with their harps; they
sung, as it were, a new song before the throne, and no man could learn
that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were brought
from the earth." He tells what they were, saying, "These are they which
were not defiled with women, for they are virgins; these follow the Lamb
wherever he goes, and these were redeemed from among men, being the first
fruits to God, and to the Lamb: and in their mouth was found no guile; for
they are without spot before the throne of God." Then he tells, "That
another angel flew in the midst of heaven, with the everlasting Gospel to
preach unto them which dwell on the earth;" and that is the same Gospel
which I preach unto you, even this, "Fear God, and give glory to him, for
the hour of judgment is come; and worship him that made the heavens and
the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." Then he tells, "that
another angel cried, It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great city,
she made all the nations to drink of the wine of her fornication. Ay,
Rome, thou shalt be taken and burnt in a furnice of fire, and a mill-stone
shall be bound about thy neck, and thou shalt be cast into the midst of
the sea, and shalt be drowned; there thou shalt fall, and thy fall shall
make heaven and earth, and all the angels and saints to rejoice at thy
fall. Ay, God shall put it into the hearts of the kings to do it; we know
not what kings they are; and then the bride shall prepare her for the
bridegroom's coming in the clouds."

Next again, of _seven vials_ he sets down again almost the same things
that he prophesied before; and now here, last of all, he lets him see the
last judgment. Would you know then what is here? See ye yon great throne?
Ye shall see the Judge standing
