Here is the patience and the faith of the faints. 11 And I beheld another beaft coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he fpake as a dragon. 12 And he exercifeth all the power of the firft beast before him, and caufeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beaft, whofe deadly wound was heiled. 13 And he doeth great wonders, fo that he maketh fire come down from heaveà on the earth in the fight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of thofe miracles which he had power to do in the fight of the beart; faying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beaft, which had the wound by a fword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beaft, that the image of the beaif fhould both fpeak, and caufe that as many as would not worthip the image of the heart fhould be killed. 16 And he caufeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, tree and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their toreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or fell, fave he that had the mark, or the name of the beaft, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom.
