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

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

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

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

which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o almighty_a here_o you_o that_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v may_v understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n the_o lord_n almighty_n and_o as_o john_n be_v in_o the_o isle_n of_o patmos_n as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 9th_o verse_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n here_o john_n seem_v as_o if_o he_o do_v suffer_v persecution_n for_o two_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o god_n and_o for_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o in_o the_o 10._o and_o 11._o verse_n he_o conclude_v they_o both_o in_o one_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o hear_v behind_o i_o as_o he_o say_v a_o great_a voice_n as_o of_o a_o trumpet_n i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v that_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o lord_n almighty_a to_o moses_n and_o by_o he_o give_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o so_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n so_o likewise_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n also_o now_o here_o be_v two_o lords-day_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o lord_n of_o they_o both_o how_o shall_v this_o matter_n be_v reconcile_v thus_o the_o lordsday_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o creation_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o redemption_n be_v another_o because_o the_o lord_n almighty_n be_v in_o two_o several_a state_n as_o thus_o when_o he_o create_v the_o world_n and_o make_v man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n he_o himself_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n but_o no_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n this_o god_n be_v when_o he_o create_v man_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o god_n become_v flesh_n he_o be_v in_o another_o condition_n he_o now_o have_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n that_o he_o may_v work_v a_o redemption_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n to_o a_o more_o excellent_a condition_n then_o that_o be_v wherein_o he_o be_v create_v and_o a_o more_o miserable_a condition_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n than_o he_o be_v create_v in_o and_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v that_o the_o same_o god_n which_o create_v man_n i_o say_v the_o same_o god_n redeem_v man_n which_o thing_n be_v two_o proper_a and_o distinct_a work_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n to_o do_v therefore_o distinguish_v by_o two_o several_a denomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n neither_o be_v it_o proper_a for_o god_n after_o he_o become_v flesh_n to_o create_v any_o thing_n neither_o can_v god_n have_v redeem_v mankind_n to_o a_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o by_o his_o become_a flesh_n neither_o can_v any_o serpent_n or_o devil_n have_v put_v god_n to_o death_n if_o god_n have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n clothes_n itself_o with_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o so_o be_v make_v capable_a to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o the_o seed_n and_o nature_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o serpent_n or_o devil_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o god_n death_n hereafter_o only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o mind_n that_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o then_o you_o will_v not_o stumble_v at_o john_n say_v that_o he_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n and_o so_o he_o do_v in_o some_o other_o place_n in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n as_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n verse_n 5_o he_o say_v and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o faithful_a witness_n etc._n etc._n which_o do_v intimate_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o go_n but_o i_o declare_v it_o be_v speak_v with_o relation_n to_o god_n twofold_a condition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n it_o be_v to_o create_v and_o the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o to_o redeem_v and_o yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n but_o in_o two_o condition_n or_o in_o two_o state_n therefore_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o revelation_n in_o the_o scripture_n under_o nomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n therefore_o i_o will_v willing_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v the_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n and_o then_o the_o scripture_n which_o do_v seem_v to_o contradict_v one_o the_o other_o will_v be_v reconcile_v in_o one_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o peace_n arise_v from_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o where_o be_v so_o much_o dissatisfaction_n in_o read_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o professor_n now_o adays_o it_o be_v because_o they_o understand_v they_o not_o this_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a state_n in_o one_o god_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v two_o lords-day_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o but_o one_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o john_n when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o declare_v his_o meaning_n be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o this_o he_o call_v the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n rise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n in_o that_o death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v he_o under_o for_o death_n do_v keep_v every_o creature_n under_o it_o neither_o can_v any_o creature_n nor_o son_n of_o god_n overcome_v death_n but_o god_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n the_o father_n of_o all_o life_n in_o that_o he_o give_v life_n to_o all_o creature_n in_o his_o creation_n and_o nothing_o can_v procure_v by_o his_o death_n a_o resurrection_n of_o a_o new_a life_n and_o a_o eternal_a redemption_n but_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o god_n himself_o therefore_o let_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n lie_v as_o much_o trust_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n as_o they_o can_v the_o more_o weight_n they_o lie_v upon_o it_o the_o more_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n they_o shall_v find_v so_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o deny_v and_o call_v it_o blasphemy_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v die_v i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n for_o such_o a_o man_n neither_o will_v he_o find_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v but_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n notwithstanding_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o full_a to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o die_v therefore_o god_n do_v die_v and_o this_o
if_o the_o minister_n and_o speaker_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o europe_n be_v all_o false_a for_o want_v of_o a_o commission_n from_o god_n what_o will_v become_v of_o all_o the_o people_n which_o be_v congregat_v and_o join_v to_o their_o several_a ministery_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o remnant_n of_o the_o elect_a seed_n in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o seven_o church_n of_o europe_n that_o will_v be_v save_v because_o the_o election_n of_o god_n stand_v sure_a but_o this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v congregrate_v or_o join_v to_o any_o of_o these_o seven_o church_n that_o can_v have_v the_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o they_o while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n for_o how_o

according_a to_o my_o revelation_n and_o faith_n i_o can_v see_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n or_o speaker_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o europe_n now_o adays_o that_o can_v be_v save_v though_o some_o of_o their_o member_n may_v this_o may_v and_o will_v be_v think_v a_o hard_a say_n of_o i_o but_o i_o can_v help_v it_o neither_o do_v i_o speak_v it_o out_o of_o any_o ill_a will_n to_o minister_n or_o speaker_n but_o can_v rather_o be_v find_v a_o liar_n in_o this_o point_n but_o i_o be_v commissionated_a of_o god_n and_o find_v the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n of_o old_a to_o speak_v so_o much_o against_o those_o which_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v messenger_n minister_n ambassador_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n without_o a_o commission_n from_o christ_n they_o be_v more_o guilty_a of_o spiritual_a high_a treason_n than_o any_o other_o man_n so_o according_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o my_o faith_n i_o can_v see_v how_o any_o counterfeit_a minister_n of_o what_o church_n soever_o shall_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o account_n for_o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o false_a prophet_n or_o a_o false_a christ_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v as_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o false_a minister_n to_o go_v before_o he_o

they_o in_o it_o neither_o will_v their_o conscience_n justify_v they_o in_o it_o but_o you_o must_v lay_v down_o your_o life_n under_o the_o fear_n of_o eternal_a death_n because_o you_o go_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v not_o send_v of_o christ_n likewise_o you_o see_v that_o false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n have_v be_v punish_v in_o all_o age_n by_o the_o civil_a

but_o not_o for_o his_o preach_n without_o a_o commission_n from_o cod._n therefore_o his_o punishment_n will_v be_v no_o less_o than_o eternal_a damnation_n i_o speak_v this_o not_o only_o to_o the_o

a_o work_n but_o eternal_a damnation_n i_o know_v i_o shall_v offend_v the_o minister_n and_o speaker_n of_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n aforesaid_a but_o see_v they_o be_v all_o false_a they_o may_v

he_o can_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n then_o of_o necessity_n he_o must_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o condemnation_n and_o this_o will_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o the_o

that_o he_o have_v the_o book_n of_o life_n in_o his_o right_a hand_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o creator_n but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o redeemer_n he_o must_v take_v the_o book_n out_o of_o his_o

and_o the_o creator_n also_o in_o his_o vision_n he_o see_v christ_n sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o son_n and_o as_o he_o suffer_v death_n and_o so_o redeem_v mankind_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o and_o the_o elder_n give_v thanks_o and_o praise_n unto_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n and_o sometime_o they_o give_v thanks_o unto_o he_o all_o together_o as_o he_o be_v the_o redeemer_n yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n however_o it_o do_v seem_v by_o john_n vision_n as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o when_o as_o it_o be_v speak_v with_o relation_n to_o a_o twofold_a

the_o prophet_n yet_o the_o matter_n and_o substance_n be_v all_o one_o for_o all_o horse_n be_v comprise_v under_o those_o four_o so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o further_o open_v of_o the_o horse_n than_o there_o have_v be_v for_o there_o be_v enough_o say_v concern_v those_o four_o horse_n and_o their_o rider_n to_o satisfy_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n but_o if_o one_o shall_v speak_v never_o so_o much_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n not_o to_o scruple_n because_o the_o prophet_n call_v the_o four_o horse_n grizzle_v and_o bay_a when_o as_o john_n call_v it_o a_o pale_a horse_n for_o grizzle_v do_v signify_v death_n sit_v upon_o the_o life_n as_o paleness_n do_v so_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v all_o one_o though_o

slay_v under_o the_o altar_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v now_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o consider_v that_o vision_n do_v many_o time_n present_a to_o he_o that_o see_v it_o thing_n that_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n and_o far_o off_o as_o at_o present_a or_o near_o at_o hand_n as_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o present_a be_v this_o have_v be_v the_o usual_a custom_n of_o those_o that_o write_v those_o vision_n in_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v present_v to_o the_o choose_a prophet_n and_o messenger_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n those_o vision_n so_o present_v be_v to_o signify_v either_o some_o extraordinary_a happiness_n and_o deliverance_n to_o a_o particular_a person_n or_o people_n or_o nation_n or_o else_o some_o great_a judgement_n and_o destruction_n to_o a_o person_n people_n or_o nation_n in_o the_o temporal_a as_o aforesaid_a or_o else_o vision_n be_v present_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n to_o signify_v spiritual_a and_o eternal_a blessing_n to_o a_o number_n of_o people_n or_o else_o to_o signify_v spiritual_a and_o eternal_a misery_n unto_o a_o number_n of_o people_n so_o that_o what_o vision_n be_v declare_v by_o choose_a man_n of_o god_n though_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o immediate_o at_o hand_n whether_o the_o vision_n do_v signify_v temporal_a or_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n do_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o present_a be_v because_o they_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o those_o prophet_n of_o old_a do_v prophesy_v of_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o isaiah_n say_v in_o the_o 9_o chapter_n to_o we_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v and_o to_o we_o a_o son_n be_v give_v meaning_n christ_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v when_o as_o he_o be_v not_o borâ—_n many_o hundred_o year_n after_o that_o and_o so_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n look_v upon_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o in_o present_a be_v for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o other_o write_n that_o faith_n do_v look_v at_o thing_n afar_o off_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n as_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o in_o present_a be_v but_o because_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n can_v do_v so_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o prevent_v neither_o the_o temporal_a nor_o the_o eternal_a judgement_n that_o will_v come_v upon_o they_o but_o you_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v know_v that_o john_n do_v see_v in_o the_o vision_n by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n the_o soul_n of_o they_o that_o be_v slay_v under_o the_o

that_o be_v upon_o the_o persecutor_n that_o dwell_v on_o the_o earth_n now_o i_o will_v have_v you_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v how_o these_o that_o be_v slay_v under_o the_o altar_n can_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n see_v they_o be_v dead_a under_o the_o altar_n and_o yet_o be_v say_v to_o cry_v aloud_o for_o vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o persecute_v and_o put_v they_o to_o death_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o those_o that_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n it_o do_v cry_v virtual_o and_o efficacious_o unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v

cry_n as_o he_o do_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n it_o come_v up_o unto_o god_n as_o in_o gen._n 3._o and_o 10._o and_o god_n say_v unto_o cain_n what_o have_v thou_o do_v the_o voice_n of_o thy_o brother_n blood_n cry_v unto_o i_o from_o the_o ground_n so_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n do_v cry_v from_o the_o ground_n unto_o the_o lord_n for_o vengeance_n and_o who_o must_v the_o righteous_a judge_n be_v avenge_v of_o but_o he_o that_o shed_v his_o brother_n blood_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n do_v the_o soul_n of_o they_o that_o be_v slay_v under_o the_o altar_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n they_o hold_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n upon_o those_o that_o persecute_a and_o put_v they_o to_o death_n so_o that_o you_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v power_n in_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o conscience_n sake_n in_o point_n of_o worship_n to_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o vengeance_n upon_o those_o that_o do_v murder_n and_o kill_v upon_o that_o account_n and_o no_o persecutor_n of_o that_o nature_n will_v escape_v vengeance_n to_o come_v no_o more_o than_o cain_n do_v escape_v that_o slay_v his_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 and_o as_o their_o blood_n do_v that_o be_v slay_v under_o the_o altar_n as_o john_n see_v in_o his_o vision_n therefore_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o

that_o slay_v abel_n the_o grandfather_n of_o all_o persecute_v devil_n for_o worship_v of_o god_n contrary_a to_o the_o tradition_n of_o their_o father_n so_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o righteous_a

walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o their_o grandfather_n cain_n and_o this_o have_v and_o will_v be_v fulfil_v upon_o all_o the_o child_n of_o those_o persecute_v jew_n which_o put_v christ_n to_o death_n so_o that_o his_o blood_n will_v be_v upon_o they_o and_o their_o child_n for_o these_o be_v their_o child_n and_o may_v be_v call_v so_o who_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n who_o walk_v in_o
