prove_v this_o truth_n for_o this_o gospel_n be_v write_v by_o he_o at_o the_o request_n of_o the_o elder_n of_o ephesus_n and_o other_o christian_n as_o we_o be_v assure_v from_o good_a authority_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o ebeonite_n and_o cerinthian_o who_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o whosoever_o read_v it_o may_v see_v the_o apostle_n make_v it_o his_o main_a business_n to_o assure_v the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v god_n this_o he_o affirm_v at_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o record_v many_o of_o our_o saviour_n saying_n by_o which_o he_o assert_v it_o and_o several_a of_o his_o chief_a miracle_n by_o which_o he_o prove_v it_o that_o be_v omit_v by_o the_o other_o evangelist_n and_o if_o this_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v his_o chief_a design_n in_o this_o gospel_n as_o certain_o it_o be_v who_o can_v doubt_v of_o his_o mean_v in_o the_o place_n beforementioned_a which_o be_v near_o the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o where_o he_o say_v these_o be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o this_o with_o the_o other_o citation_n which_o i_o mention_v before_o will_v clear_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o expression_n in_o this_o chapter_n of_o my_o text_n 5._o ver._n 1._o ver._n 5._o whosoever_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o overcome_v the_o world_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o they_o assert_v he_o to_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n prove_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o i_o hope_v have_v now_o make_v it_o more_o evident_a to_o you_o the_o

the_o world_n therefore_o the_o word_n which_o be_v before_o it_o must_v be_v eternal_a and_o the_o apostle_n here_o express_o affirm_v that_o the_o word_n be_v god_n and_o that_o this_o word_n be_v

to_o they_o though_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o many_o of_o the_o heathen_n have_v receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o notion_n of_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d the_o second_o person_n in_o it_o either_o from_o ancient_a tradition_n or_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v read_v by_o several_a learned_a man_n among_o they_o but_o plato_n be_v especial_o note_v for_o it_o therefore_o when_o amelius_n who_o be_v one_o of_o his_o follower_n read_v this_o gospel_n of_o st._n john_n he_o challenge_v this_o notion_n of_o the_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d as_o if_o it_o be_v take_v from_o plato_n but_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v he_o receive_v a_o notion_n from_o any_o heathen_a which_o he_o know_v be_v better_a understand_v by_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v ground_v now_o st._n john_n do_v not_o only_o call_v christ_n the_o word_n in_o that_o place_n and_o in_o my_o
