<section begin="5:2"/>And I sawe a stronge angell which cryed with a loude voyce: Who is worthy to open the boke and to loose the seales therof. <section end="5:2"/>

<section begin="5:3"/>And no man in heven ner in erth nether vnder the erth was able to open the boke nether to loke thereon. <section end="5:3"/>

Chapter 9
<section begin="9:1"/>And the fyfte angell blewe and I sawe a stare fall from heven vnto the erth. And to him was geven the kaye of the bottomlesse pytt. <section end="9:1"/>

<section begin="9:2"/>And he opened the botomlesse pytt and there arose the smoke of a grett fornace. And the sunne and the ayer were darkned by the reason of the smoke of the pytt. <section end="9:2"/>

<section begin="9:3"/>And there cam out of the smoke locustes vpo the erth: and vnto them was geve power as the scorpions of the erth have power. <section end="9:3"/>

<section begin="9:4"/>And it hurt ye grasse of the erth: nether eny grene thinge: nether eny tree: but only those me which have not ye seale in their forhedes <section end="9:4"/>

Chapter 17
<section begin="17:1"/>And there cam one of the seven angels which had the seven vialles and talked with me sayinge vnto me: come I will shewe the the iudgment of the grett whore that sytteth apon many waters <section end="17:1"/>

<section begin="17:2"/>with whome have commytted fornicacion the kynges of the erth so that the inhabiters of the erth are droken with the wyne of her fornicacion. <section end="17:2"/>

<section begin="17:3"/>And he caryed me a waye into the wildernes in the sprete. And I sawe a woman sytt apon a rose colored best full of names of blaphemie which had ten hornes. <section end="17:3"/>
