¹ And I sawe a newe heauen, and a newe earth: for the first heauen, & the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.² And I Iohn sawe the holie citie newe Hierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband.³ And I heard a great voice out of heauen, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them: and they shalbe his people, and God himselfe shalbe their God with them.⁴ And God shall wipe away all teares fro their eyes: and there shalbe no more death, neither sorow, neither crying, neither shal there be any more paine: for the first things are passed.⁵ And he that sate vpon the throne, sayd, Behold, I make all things newe: and he sayde vnto me, Write: for these wordes are faithfull and true.⁶ And he said vnto me, It is done, I am Alpha & Omega, the beginning and the ende. I wil giue to him yt is a thirst, of the wel of the water of life freely.⁷ He that ouercommeth, shal inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my sonne.⁸ But the fearful and vnbeleeuing, and the abominable and murtherers, and whoremogers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, & all liars shall haue their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

⁹ And there came vnto mee one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials full of the seuen last plagues, and talked with mee, saying, Come: I will shewe thee the bride, the Lambes wife.¹⁰ And he caried me away in the spirit to a great: and an hie mountaine, and he shewed me that great citie, that holie Hierusalem, descending out of heauen from God,¹¹ Hauing the glorie of God: and her shining was like vnto a stone most precious, as a Iasper stone cleare as crystall,¹² And had a great wall and hie, and had twelue gates, and at the gates twelue Angels, & the names written, which are the twelue tribes of the children of Israel.¹³ On the East part there were three gates, and on the Northside three gates, on the Southside three gates, and on the Westside three gates.¹⁴ And the wall of the citie had twelue foundations, and in them the Names of the Lambes twelue Apostles.¹⁵ And hee that talked with mee, had a golden reede, to measure the citie withall, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.¹⁶ And the citie laie foure square, and the length is as large as the bredth of it, and he measured the citie with the reede, twelue thousande furlongs: and the length, and the bredth, & the height of it are equall.¹⁷ And hee measured the wall thereof, an hundreth fourtie and foure cubites, by the measure of man, that is, of the Angell.¹⁸ And ye building of the wal of it was of Iasper: and the citie was pure golde, like vnto cleare glasse.¹⁹ And the foundations of the wal of ye city were garnished with all maner of precious stones: the first foundation was Iasper: the second of Saphire: the third of a Chalcedonie: the fourth of an Emeraude:²⁰ The fift of a Sardonix: the sixt of a Sardius: the seueth of a Chrysolite: the eight of a Beryl: the ninth of a Topaze: the tenth of a Chrysoprasus: the eleuenth of a Iacynth: the twelfth an Amethyst.²¹ And the twelue gates were twelue pearles, and euery gate is of one pearle, and the streete of the citie is pure golde, as shining glasse.²² And I sawe no Temple therein: for the Lorde God almightie and the Lambe are the Temple of it.²³ And this citie hath no neede of the sunne, neither of the moone to shine in it: for the glorie of God did light it: and the Lambe is the light of it.²⁴ And the people which are saued, shal walke in the light of it: and the Kings of the earth shall bring their glorie and honour vnto it.²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: for there shalbe no night there.²⁶ And the glorie, and honour of the Gentiles shall be brought vnto it.²⁷ And there shall enter into it none vncleane thing, neither whatsoeuer woorketh abomination or lies: but they which are written in ye Lambes booke of life.
