And I beheld, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, 3 A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou s hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him: And power was given 4 unto them over the fourt part of the earth, to kill v with swer Sealing of God's Servants.

Locusts r upon the earth: and unto them q Eze.1.28. was given power, as the scorpions t of r Ex.10.4,&c. the earth have power. 8 Mat.17.2. 4 And it was commanded them u that c.1.15,16. they should not hurt the grass of the earth, t ver.10. neither any green thing, neither any u c.6.6. tree; but only those men which have not the seal v of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. v Ex.12.23.

The seven Thunders. thousand: a and I heard b the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having bre: stplates of fire, and of jacinth, & brimstone:& the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: e and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tailsh were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues, yet irepented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, k and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their mur. ders, nor of their sorceries, o nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. CHAP. X. AND I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and a rainbow q was upon his head, and his faces was as it were the sun, and his feet, as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders w uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Sealx up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth z lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him b that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, e That there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventhg angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery i of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his ser vants the prophets. 8 And the voice k which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, n and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
