¶ The seconde epistle of Saynct Iohn. ¶ He wryteth vnto a certayne lady, reioyseth that her children walke in þe; trueth, exhorteth them vnto loue, warneth them to beware of such disceauers as denye that Iesus Christ came in the flessh, prayeth them to continue in the doctrine of Christ, ∧ to haue nothinge to do with them that bringe not this lerninge.

A   The elder to the electe lady &abar;d her childr&ebar;, whom I loue in þe; trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue know&ebar; the trueth for þe; truthes sake whych dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer.

With vs shall be grace, mercye, ∧ peace from God the father ∧ from the lord Iesus Christ þe; sonne of the father, &ibar; trueth ∧ loue.

I reioysed greatly, that I founde of thy children walkinge in trueth, as we haue receaued a c&obar;maundement of the father. And now beseche I þe; lady, not as though I wrote a new c&obar;maundement vnto the, B   but that same which we haue had fr&obar; the beg&ibar;nynge, that we shuld note loue one another. And this is the loue, that we shulde walke after hys commaundement.

This commaundement is (that as ye haue hearde fr&obar; þe; beginnynge) ye shuld walke in it. For many deceauers are entred into the worlde, whych confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the fleshe. This is a deceauer and an Antichrist. Loke on your selues that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we maye haue ful rewarde. C   Whosoeuer

tr&abar;sgresseth ∧ bydeth not &ibar; þe; doctryne of Christ, hath not God. C   He þt; endureth &ibar; þe; doctrine of Christ, hath both þe; father ∧ þe; sonne. If ther come eny vnto you, ∧ br&ibar;ge not this learn&ibar;ge, him receaue not to house: nether byd h&ibar; God spede. For he þt; byddeth h&ibar; God spede, is partaker of hys euyl dedes (Beholde, I haue tolde you before, that ye shulde not be. asshamed in daye of the lorde.) I had many thynges to wryte vnto you, neuerthelesse I wolde not wryte &wt; paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, ∧ speake &wt; you mouth to mouth, that oure ioye maye be full: the sonnes of thy electe sister grete the. Amen.
