which we herden, which we si&yogh;en
with oure i&yogh;en, whiche we bihelden, and
oure hondes tretiden to gydere, `or touchiden,
of the word of lijf;
2 and the lijf is
shewid. And we si&yogh;en, and we witnessen,
and tellen to &yogh;ou euerelastinge lijf, that
was anentis the fadir, and apperide to us.
3 Therfore that thing, that we si&yogh;en, and
herden, we tellen to &yogh;ou, that and &yogh;e
haue felaushippe with us, and oure felauschip
be with the fadir, and his sone
Jhesu Crist.
4 And `this thing we writen
to &yogh;ou, that &yogh;e haue ioye, and &yogh;oure ioye

5 And this is the tellyng, that we
herden of him, and tellen to &yogh;ou, for God

7 Sotheli if we walken in li&yogh;t, as and he is

10 If we `shulen
