Then I heard a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah salvation, and glory, and honour, and power be to the Lord our God. For he hath condemned the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand. And again they said, Hallelujah, and the smoke rose up for evermore, and the four and •nentie elders fell down, & worshipped god that safe on the throne, saying, Amen Hallelujah. Then a voice came out of the throne, saying: praise our God all ye his servants both small & great. And I heard like the voice of a great multitude, ⟨p. 378⟩and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying: Hallelujah, for our Lord God almighty hath reigned. Let us be glad and rejoice, & give glory to him: for she is fallen, she is fallen, Babylon that great city: there she lieth, the mother of filth and fornication. There lieth Antichrist the man of sin, the son of perdition, which is an adversary, which hath sit in the temple of God, and exalted himself above all that is called God: that wicked & lawless man lieth there. The Lamb, the root of Jesse, the lion of the tribe of Judah, hath overcome, and gotten the victory. He is worthy to receive glory and honour. Then shall the Apostles, and the Prophets, & the Angels say, praise and honour and glory be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the lamb for evermore. We thank thee, we give thanks to thee O God, which art, and was, and shall be. Thou hast avenged the blood of the Prophets and Martyrs, thou hast destroyed them that have defiled the earth. Thy name be blessed for ever. Amen Hallelujah. Such glee and triumph shall be in heaven for the overthrow of Antichrist.

Then I heard a great voice of a great multitude in heauen, saying, Halleluiah saluation, and glorie, and honour, and power be to the Lorde our God. For he hath condemned the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath auenged the bloud of his seruants shed by her hand. And againe they saide, Halleluiah, and the smoake rose vp for euermore, and the foure and •nentie elders fel down, & worshipped god that safe on the throne, saying, Amen Halleluiah. Then a voice came out of the throne, saying: praise our God al ye his seruants both small & great. And I heard like ye voice of a great multitude, ⟨p. 378⟩
