2 The same was in the begynnynge wt God.
3 All thinges were made by the same, and without the same was made nothinge that was made.
4 In him was the life, and the life was the light of men:
5 and the light shyneth in the darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.
6 There was sent from God a man, whose name was Ihon.
7 The same came for a witnesse, to beare wytnesse of ye light, that thorow him they all might beleue.
8 He was not that light, but that he might beare witnesse of ye light.
9 That was the true light, which lighteth all men, that come in to this worlde.
10 He was in the worlde, & the worlde was made by him, and ye worlde knewe him not.
11 He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not.
12 But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name.
13 Which are not borne of bloude, ner of the wyl of the flesh, ner of the wyl of man, but of God.
14 And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.
15 Ihon bare wytnesse of him, cryed, and sayde: It was this, of whom I spake: After me shal he come, that was before me, For he was or euer I:
16 and of his fulnesse haue all we receaued grace for grace.
17 For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared the same vnto vs.
