IN the beginning was the word / & §Athe word was with God: & the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it / & with out it / was made nothing / that was made. In it was life / & the life was the light of men / & the light shineth in the darkness / but the darkness comprehended it not.
IN the beginnynge was the worde / & §Athe worde was with God: & the worde was God. The same was in the beginnynge with God. All thinges were made by it / & with out it / was made nothinge / that was made. In it was lyfe / & the lyfe was ye lyght of men / & the lyght shyneth in the darcknes / but the darcknes comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God / whose name was John. The same cam as a witness to bear witness of the light / that all men through him might believe. He was not that light: but to bear witness of the light. That was a true light / which lighteth all men that come into the world. He was in the world / and the world was made by him: and yet the world knew him not.
There was a man sent from God / whose name was Iohn. The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght / that all men through him myght beleve. He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght. That was a true lyght / which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde. He was in ye worlde / and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.
