And there came unto me one of the seven Angels which had the seven vials full of the seven plagues, and talked with me,1 saying, I will show thee the Bride, the Lambs Wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain,2 and showed me that great city, that holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. Having the glory of God,3 and her shining was like unto a stone most precious, as a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

Here one of the Angels mentioned in the sixteenth chapter, which had a vial full of Gods wrath, talketh with S. John, and telleth him, that he will show him the Bride, the Lambs Wife; that is, the triumphant Church in her glorified estate, being united and married unto Christ in the kingdom of glory. And therefore Saint John saith, that this Angel carried him away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed him that great city, holy Jerusalem, &c.
