3 Before him is a deuouryng fire, and behynde him a burnyng flambe: the lande is as a pleasaunt garden before him, and behinde him a waste desert, yea and nothyng shall escape him
4 The shewe of him is as the shewe of horses, and like horsemen, so shall they runne

7 They shall runne like strong men, and climbe the walles like men of warre: & euery one shall march on in his way, and they shal not linger in their pathes
8 No man shall thrust another, but euery one shall walke in his path: and if they shall fall on the sworde, they shall not be wounded
9 They shall runne to and fro in the citie, they shall runne vp & downe vpon the wall, they shall climbe into the houses, they shall enter in at the windowes like a theefe
