The merchants of these wares shall stand a far off, for fear of her plagues, and say, alas that great city that was clothed in reins, and scarlet, and purple, and gold, and diamonds, and precious stones, in one hour is all thy glory stripped from thee: O what city under heaven ⟨p. 377⟩was like unto thee? Thou wast the great city, the noble, and the holy city. Then a mighty Angel took up a stone, like a great millstone, & cast it into the sea saying: With such violence shall the great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no more. She shall be out of remembrance, they shall seek the place where she stood, and not find it. The voice of harpers and musicians, shall be no more heard in her: The light of a candle shall shine no more in her: her merchants, officers, and dataries were the great men of the earth, and by her enchantments were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the saints, & of all that were stain upon earth.
The marchants of these wares shal stand a far off, for feare of her plagues, and saie, alas that great city that was clothed in reines, and scarlet, and purple, and golde, and diamonds, and pretious stones, in one houre is al thy glorie stript from thée: O what city vnder heauen ⟨p. 377⟩was like vnto thée? Thou wast the great citie, the noble, and the holie citie. Then a mightie Angel tooke vp a stone, like a great milstone, & cast it into the sea saying: With such viol•nce shal the great citie Babylon be cast, and shal be found no more. She shall be out of remembrance, they shall séeke the place where shée stood, and not find it. The voice of harpers and musitions, shal be no more heard in her: The light of a candle shal shine no more in her: her marchants, officers, and dataries were the great men of the earth, and by her enchauntments were al nations deceiued. And in her was found the bloud of the Prophets, and of the saints, & of al that were staine vpon earth.
