His heed and his heares were whyte as whyte woll and as snowe: and his eyes were as a flame of fyre:

and his fete lyke vnto brasse as though they brent in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.

And he had in his right honde vii. starres. And out of his mouth wet a sharpe twoo edged swearde. And his face shone even as the sonne in his strength.

And when I sawe him I fell at his fete even as deed. And he layde hys ryght honde apon me sayinge vnto me: feare not. I am the fyrst and the laste

and am alyve and was deed. And beholde I am alyve for ever more and have the kayes of hell and of deeth.

wryte therfore the thynges which thou haste sene and the thynges which are and the thynges which shalbe fulfylled hereafter:

and the mystery of the vii. starres which thou sawest in my ryght honde and the vii. golden candelstyckes. The vii. stares are the messengers of the vii. congregacions: And the vii. candlestyckes which thou sawest are the vii. congregacions.

Remember therfore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the fyrst workes. Or elles I wyll come vnto the shortly and will remove thy candlestyke out of his place excepte thou repent.

But this thou haste because thou hatest the dedes of the Nicolaitans which dedes I also hate.

But I have a fewe thynges agaynst the: that thou hast there they that mayntayne the doctryne of Balam which taught in balake to put occasion of syn before the chylderne of Israhell that they shulde eate of meate dedicat vnto ydoles and to commyt fornicacion.

Even so hast thou them that mayntayne the doctryne of the Nicolaytans which thynge I hate.

But be converted or elles I will come vnto the shortly and will fyght agaynste the with thes wearde of my mouth

Lett him that hath eares heare what the sprete sayth vnto the congregacions: To him that overcommeth will I geve to eate manna that is hyd and will geve him a whyte stone and in the stone a newe name wrytten which no man knoweth savinge he that receaveth it.

Notwitstondinge I have a feawe thynges agaynst the that thou sofferest that woman Iesabell which called her sylfe a prophetes to teache and to deceave my servauntes to make them commyt fornicacion and to eate meates offered vppe vnto ydoles.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornicacion and she repented not.

Beholde I will caste her into a beed and them that commyt fornicacion with her into gret adversite excepte they tourne from their deades.

And I will kyll her children with deeth. And all the congregacions shall knowe that I am he which searcheth the reynes and hertes. And I will geve vnto evere one of you accordynge vnto youre workes.

Vnto you I saye and vnto other of them of Thiatyra as many as have not this lerninge and which have not knowen the depnes of Sathan (as they saye) I will put apon you none other burthe

but that which ye have alreddy. Holde fast tyll I come

and whosoever overcometh and kepeth my workes vnto the ende to hym will I geve power over nacions

and he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter shall he breake them to shevers. Even as I receaved of my father

And wryte vnto the messenger of the congregacion of Sardis: this sayth he that hath the sprete of god and the vii. starres. I knowe thy workes thou haste a name that thou lvyest and thou art deed.

Remember therfore how thou hast receaved and hearde and hold faste and repet. Yf thou shalt not watche I will come on ye as a thefe and thou shalt not knowe what houre I wyll come apon the
