1Besides this, much mention is made unto whom Chris• hath opened this divine and most excellent revelation, eu• to John. He commendeth him, that is himself (for so was i• expedient for the confuting of his adversaries, seeing that Pau• also many times maintained his authority against the fal• Apostles) by four Epithets. For first he calleth himself th• servant of Christ. This is the eldest and noblest title, which the fathers, Prophets, and Apostles have used. For they b• addict and consecrate to God. Secondly John testified th• word of God amongst the Apostles, most expressly declaring the divinity of Christ, especially where he testified & said In the beginning was the word.2 &c. Moreover he testifie• the witness of Jesus Christ: Under the which name the Lord• himself in the Gospel, and S. John in the .xii. chapt. of his Gospel, comprised the whole Evangelical doctrine. And was a seeing witness of all these things. For in the first Chapter we have seen, saith he, his glory. And in the .xix. Chapter he saw water and blood gush out of the Lords side. In his Epistle,3 that we have seen, saith he, and have heard. &c.

Secondly Iohn testified th worde of God amongst the Apostles, most expressely declaring ye diuinitie of Christ, especially where he testified & said In the beginning was the worde.
