he_o sit_v or_o ride_v upon_o the_o white_a horse_n and_o he_o go_v forth_o conquer_a and_o to_o conquer_v that_o be_v he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n as_o he_o be_v the_o redeemer_n that_o he_o make_v the_o saint_n so_o pure_a and_o white_a that_o they_o become_v a_o white_a horse_n for_o he_o to_o sit_v upon_o so_o that_o they_o be_v able_a by_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n to_o suffer_v tribulation_n and_o death_n itself_o so_o that_o they_o become_v more_o than_o conqueror_n for_o he_o that_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o

the_o reader_n to_o mind_v the_o interpretation_n of_o this_o pale_a horse_n because_o everyone_o of_o we_o must_v be_v a_o pale_a horse_n for_o death_n to_o sit_v upon_o except_o we_o be_v swallow_v

to_o give_v you_o the_o meaning_n what_o this_o pale_a horse_n be_v it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o sinful_a soul_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n therefore_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v when_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n than_o death_n enter_v in_o upon_o it_o so_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o soul_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n have_v let_v sin_n enter_v into_o their_o soul_n then_o death_n enter_v for_o death_n do_v ride_v upon_o sin_n and_o sin_n do_v ride_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o we_o first_o parent_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o god_n in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o

also_o which_o make_v the_o soul_n of_o adam_n to_o fear_v therefore_o he_o go_v to_o hide_v himself_o for_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n will_v make_v the_o soul_n to_o look_v pale_a so_o that_o it_o will_v become_v a_o pale_a horse_n for_o death_n to_o ride_v upon_o for_o by_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n death_n get_v power_n over_o all_o life_n so_o that_o death_n sit_v upon_o all_o life_n both_o upon_o man_n and_o beast_n for_o the_o beast_n be_v make_v subject_a to_o death_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n only_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v this_o secret_a that_o the_o creature_n the_o beast_n be_v create_v of_o god_n on_o purpose_n to_o be_v kill_v for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o man_n but_o if_o sin_n have_v never_o be_v commit_v by_o

indeed_o so_o that_o the_o generality_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v the_o fear_n of_o eternal_a death_n that_o sit_v upon_o their_o soul_n so_o that_o they_o be_v that_o pale_a horse_n that_o

case_n as_o aforesaid_a will_v speak_v no_o better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n but_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n will_v cry_v aloud_o for_o vengeance_n as_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n
