1And I saw in the right hand of him, that sat in the throne, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with vij. seals. 2And I saw a strong angel which cried with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3And no man in heaven nor in earth neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4And I wept much, because, no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5And one of the seniors said unto me: weep not: Behold a lion being of the tribe of Iuda, the root of David, hath obtained to open the book, and to loose the vij. seals thereof.

6And I beheld, and lo, in the middes of the seat, and of the iiij. beasts, and in the midst of the seniors, stood a lamb as though he had been killed, which had vij. horns and vij. eyes, which are the spirits of God, sent into all the world. 7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the seat. 8And when he had taken the book, the iiij. beasts and xxiiij. seniors fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odoures, which are the prayers of saynctes 9and they sung a new song saying: thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations, 10and hast made us unto our God, kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth.

11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels about the throne, and about the beasts and the seniors, and I heard thousand thousands, 12saying with a loud voice: Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing. 13And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I saying: blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him, that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore. 14And the iiij. beasts said: amen. And the xxiiij. seniors fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.
