That same John therefore is author of this book,1 which as he saw the Lord in flesh upon earth, so he saw the same in spirit revealing these things in heaven: and propoundeth to the church sights most certain and sure. This John was that beloved disciple of the Lord, which in the last supper, rested upon his breast, unto whom in his last will he bequeathed his mother on the cross, one virgin to another.
