A Prologue made upon the Gospel of S. John, by William Tyndall.
A Prologue made vppon the Gospell of S. Iohn, by William Tyndall.
1John, what he was, is manifest by the three first evangelists. First christs Apostle, and yt one of the chief. Then christs nigh kinsman, and for his singular innocency and softness, singularly beloved, and of singular familiarity with Christ, and ever one of yt three witnesses of most secret things. The cause of his writing was certain heresies that arose in his time, namely, ij. of which one denied Christ to be very God, and the other to be very man, and to become in the very flesh, & nature of man. Against the which ij. heresies, he wrote both his Gospel and also his first epistle, and in the beginning ⟨p. 39⟩of his gospel saith: That the word or thing was at the beginning, and was with God, and was also very God, and that all things were created by it, and that it was also made flesh: that is to say, became very man, and he dwelt among us (saith he) and we saw his glory.
