And in the myddest of the fyre it was all cleare, ⁵ and as it were the lycknesse of foure beastes, which were fashyoned lyke a man: sauyng, ⁶ that euery one had foure faces and foure wynges. ⁷ Their legges were streyght, but their fete were lyke bullackes fete, and they glystered, as it had bene fayre scoured metall. ⁸ Vnder their wynges vpon all the foure corners they had mens handes. Their faces and their wynges were towarde the foure corners: ⁹ yet were the wynges so, that one euer touched another. When they wente, they turned them not aboute: but echone went streyght forwarde. ¹⁰ Vpon the ryght syde of these foure, their faces were lyke the face of a man, and the face of a Lyon: But vpon the left syde, they had the face of an oxe, and the face of an Aegle. ¹¹ Their faces also and their wynges were spred out aboue: so that two winges of one touched euer two wynges of of another, and wyth the other they couered their body. ¹² Euery one when it wente, it wente streyght forwarde. Where as the sprete ledd them, thether they went, and turned not aboute in their goynge. ¹³ The fashyon and countenaunce of the beastes was lyke hoate coales of fyre, euen as though burnynge cressettes had bene amonge the beastes: and the fyre gaue a glystre, and out of the fyre there wente lyghtenynge. ¹⁴ When the beastes wente forwarde and backwarde, one wolde haue thought it had lyghtened. ¹⁵ Now when I had well considered the beastes, I sawe a worcke of wheles vpon the earth with foure faces also lyke the beastes. ¹⁶ The fashyon and worcke of the wheles was lyke the sea. The foure wheles were ioyned and made (to loke vpon) as it had bene one whele in another. ¹⁷ When one wente forwarde, they wente all foure, and turned them not about in their goinge. ¹⁸ They were large, greate and horryble to loke vpon. Their bodyes were full of eyes round about them all foure. When the beastes wente the wheles wente also with them: ¹⁹ And when the beastes lyft them selues vp from the earth, the wheles were lyft vp also. ²⁰ Whether soeuer the sprete wente, thether wente they also, and the wheles were lyft vp, and folowed them: for the sprete of lyfe was in the wheles. ²¹ When the beastes went forth, stode styll, or lyft them selues vp from the earth: then the wheles also wente, stode styll, and were lyft vp, for the breth of lyfe was in the wheles. ²² Aboue ouer the heades of the beastes there was a fyrmament, whyche was fashyoned as it had bene of the most pure Chrystal, and that was spred out aboue vpon their heades: ²³ vnder the same fyrmament were their wynges layed abrode, one toward another, and two winges couered the body of euery beast. ²⁴ And when they wente forth, I hearde the noyse of their wynges, lyke the noyse of greate waters, as it had bene the voyce of the greate God, and a russhynge together as it were of an hoost of men. And when they stode styll, they let downe their wynges. ²⁵ Now when they stode styll, and had letten downe their wynges, it thondred in the fyrmament that was aboue their heades. ²⁶ Aboue the firmament that was ouer their heades, there was the fashyon of a seate, as it had bene made of Saphir. Vpon the seate there sat one lyke a man. ²⁷ I behelde hym, & he was lyke a cleare lyght, as it had bene all of fyre with in from hys loynes vpwarde. And beneth when I loked vpon him vnder the loynes, me thought he was lyke a shynyng fyre, that geueth lyght on euery syde. Yee the shyne & glystre that lyghtened rounde aboute, ²⁸ was lyke a raynbowe, which in a raynye daye appeareth in the cloudes. Euen so was the symylitude, wherin the glory of the Lorde appeared. When I sawe it, I fel vpon my face, and herkened vnto the voyce of him that spake.
