CLV Equitatui meo in curribus Pharaonis assimilavi te, amica mea.[fn]
(Equitatui mine in curribus Pharaonis assimilavi you(sg), amica my. )
1.8 Equitatui. Sicut priorem populum de Ægyptiaca servitute liberavi, sic te de persequentium manibus liberabo, elidens Pharaonem, si te sponsam meam cognoveris, liberans a servitute diaboli, in fonte baptismatis passione rubricati, submerso ibidem auctore peccati. Equitatui meo. Quia Dominus non vult Ecclesiam ignorare seipsam, sed diligenter attendere quid donorum acceperit, quid pati debeat, consequenter post comminationem blanditur ei, quasi dicat: Si vis intelligere quomodo te scire debeas, intellige cui te comparaverim, et tunc cognosces te talem per beneficia mea tibi collata, quæ turbari non debeas. Equitatui. Eques, sponsus, dicente propheta: Et salus ejus equitatio Habac 3.. Quantum ergo differt meus equitatus ab equis Pharaonis, tantum melior es omnibus aliis filiabus. Sicut ille populus supervenientibus curribus Pharaonis perterritus est, sed cœlesti protectione salvatus, et per aquas submersis hostibus in terram promissionis introductus est: sic unda mortis, quæ cunctis occursura est mortalibus, pravos rapit in interitum, piis reserat iter ad salutem, et cætera omnia, quæ ibi corporaliter, hic complentur spiritualiter. Dubitantem benigne increpat, et ne desperet in sequenti fideli amore viriliter confortat, ubi Pharaonis curribus comparat. In curribus Pharaonis. Id est in tempore curruum. Et nota superbiam: Pharao, elidens vel dissipans interpretatur. Nec oportet ut vagari incipias, cum me consolatorem habeas, et prælatos quibus innitaris, per quos subsistas.

Sicut ille populus supervenientibus curribus Pharaonis perterritus it_is, but cœlesti protectione salvatus, and through waters submersis hostibus in the_earth/land promissionis introductus it_is: so unda mortis, which cunctis occursura it_is mortalibus, pravos rapit in interitum, piis reserat iter to salutem, and cætera everything, which there corporaliter, this complentur spiritualiter.
