YE beloved / believe not every spirit: but §Aprove the spirits whether they are of God or no: for many false Prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby shall ye know the spirit of God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit which confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh / is not of God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist / of whom ye have heard / how that he should come: and even now already is he in the world.
YE beloved / beleve not every sprete: but §Aprove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde. Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Every sprete that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is of God. And every sprete which cō fesseth not yt Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe / is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrist / of whom ye have hearde / howe that he shuld come: and even now alredy is he in the worlde.
Little children / ye are of God / & have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you / then he that is in the world. They are of the world / & therefore speak they of the world / & the §Bworld heareth them. We are of God. He that knoweth God / heareth us: he that is not of God / heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of verity / & the spirit of error.

Herby knowe we ye sprete of veritie / & the sprete of erroure.
