And the Angel carried […] way in the spirit, •o a great […] hie mountain, and he ••e wed••e the great City holy Hierusa••• descending out of heaven […] God, having y• brightness of God. And her shining wa• like unto […] ⟨p. 507⟩stone most precious, even like a Jasper, clear as Crystal, & had walls great & hie, & had xii. gates, & at the gates .xii. angels, and names written, which are the names of the .xii. Tribes of Israel. On the •ast side .iii. gates,1 and on the north side .iii. gates, and towards the south .iii. gates, & from the west iii. gates, and the wall of the City had .xii. foundations, & in them the xii. names of the Lambs .xii. Apostles & he that talked with me, had a golden read to measure the city withal & the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city was built iiii▪ square, and the length was as large as the breadth, & he measured the city with the (golden) read .xii M. furlongs, & the length, and the breadth, & the height of it, were equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an. C. xliiii. the measure that the angel had, was after the measure ⟨p. 508⟩that man useth. And the building of the wall of it, was of Jasper: And the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass, & the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones▪ The first foundation was a Jasper, the second a Sapphire, the third a Chalcedony, the .iiii. an Emerald, the .v. a Sardonyx, the .vi. a Sardius, the .vii. a Chrysolite, the .viii. a Beryl, the .ix. a Topaz, the .x. a Chrysoprases, the xi a Jacinth, the .xii. an Amethyst. The .xii. gates, were .xii. pearls, every gate was of one pearl, and the street of the City was pure gold, as through shining glass.. And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God almighty, and the Lamb,2 are the temple of it. And the city hath no need of the sun nether of the moon to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light ⟨p. 509⟩[…], and the Lamb was the light of it. And the people which are sa•ed, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory (and honour) unto it. And the gates of it, are not shut by day. For there shall be no night there. And there shall enter into it, none unclean thing, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh lies, but they only, which are written in the Lambs book of life.
