CHAP. XXII.
Vers. 1 And he showed me a pure River of Water of Life, clear as Crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God, and of the Lamb. Vers. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and of either side of the River, was there the Tree of Life, which bare twelve manner of Fruits, and yielded her ⟨p. 5⟩Fruit every month: and the Leaves of the Tree were for the healing of the Nations. Vers. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the Throne of God, and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his Servants shall serve him. Vers. 4 And they shall see his Face, and his Name shall be in their Foreheads.

IN my dealing with this Mystery, I shall not meddle where I see nothing, neither shall I hide from you that which at present I conceive to be wrapped up therein: only you must not from me look for much enlargement, though I shall endeavour to speak as much in few words, as my Understanding and Capacity will enable me, through the help of Christ.
