3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on

the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia : for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See not; I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred forty four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was jasper: and the city pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony: the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb the light thereof.

PREPARING for the press is a continuation of "VERITAS," in four parts:

The first interpreting, according to the Median and Persian Laws, all the most remarkable and important facts of the heavenly personated Patriarchs, as recorded in the Old Testament, from sun-set in 1 Tisre (Libra) to sun-rise in 1 Nisan (Aries).

[ocr errors]

The second part, by using the same Laws, will interpret the miracles attributed to his Solar Majesty, as personifying the Saviour of the World from sun-rise in Nisan (Aries) to sun-set in Tisre (Libra).

The third part will be the celestial interpretations of the Budhist mysteries, showing that the astronomical creed of the Budhists is the most ancient recorded by man, and that all other doctrines are, directly or indirectly, derived therefrom.

The fourth will elucidate the mysteries of Cosmogony, as known in ancient. times, showing, as Ecclesiastics insist on the world being only some six thousand years old, that they have thus shut the door to the investigation of truth, whereas "VERITAS" will produce evidence that the Budhist creed is correct, and that the Earth's motion is ETERNAL!

There may be those who would, to save themselves from study, desire practical demonstration of the working of the Laws as regards passages in the Old or New Testament: those so desirous can receive instruction by applying to the Publishers of "VERITAS."
