And thus I saw the horses in a vision,1 and them ⟨p. 152⟩that sate on them, having fiery Habergeons and of Jacinth, and of Brimstone, and the heads of the Horses were as the heads of Lions, and out of their mouths went forth fire and smoke, and Brimstone.

- 1ver. 17.
Here is the description of the horse-men and horses, as they appeared to John in a vision. First, touching the horse-men, it is said that they were very well armed with Habergeons; that is, Coats of Male, Corslets, or Curets, and that of a fiery colour, and of the colour of Jacinth; that is of smoke, as appeareth in the last clause of this verse, and also of the colour of Brimstone. For as horse-men in complete armour were wont to wear in their Breast-plates and Targets certain ensigns and colours, whereby they might be made terrible to their enemies: So these Turkish warriors and horse-men do hold out their colours of fire, smoke, and Brimstone, as it were flags of defiance against the whole world, threatening present death to all that should with-stand them, or as if they meant to spit fire and flame at them, or to choke them with smoke and Brimstone, and then burn them up with fire and Brimstone. All this their colours and ensigns in their Breast plates and Habergeons did portend. ⟨p. 153⟩
