¶ John.
¶ Iohn.
John / what he was / is manifest by the three first evangelists. First christs apostle / & that one of the chief. Then christs nigh kinsman / & for his singular innocency & softness / singularly beloved & of singular familiarity with christ / & ever one of the three witnesses of most secret things. The cause of his writing was certain heresies that arose in his time / & namely two / of which one denied christ to be very man & to be come in the very flesh & nature of man. Against which two heresies he wrote both his gospel & also his first epistle / & in the beginning of his gospel saith that the word or thing was at the beginning / & was with God / & was also very God and that all things was created & made by it / and that it was also made flesh: that is to say / became very man. And he dwelt among us (saith he) & we saw his glory.
