Excerpt from The New Testament in Scots, Vol. 2: Being Purvey's Revision of Wycliffe's Version Turned Into Scots This is Johne euangelist, an of the disciplis of the F. 85 v. Lorde, quhilk is a virgin chosen of God, quham God callit fra the spousalis quhen he wald be weddit. And doubile witnes of virginitee is gevin to him in the euangell in this, that he is said luvit of God before vthere discipilis. And our Lord, hangand on the croce, betaucht his moder to him in keping, that a virgine suld kepe a virgine. This Johnne in the evangele beginnis allaan the work of vncor ruptabile worde, and witnessis that the kyndly sonn of God is made man, and that licht was nocht takin of mirknessis. And he schewis the first miracile quhilk God did at the weddingis. To schew quhare the Lord is prait to the feest the wyne of the weddingis aucht to failye; that quhen ald thingis ar changet al new thingis that ar ordanyt of Crist appere. Johnne wrate this euangele in Asie, eftir that he had writtin the Apocalips in the Ile of Pathmos. Neuir theles, he wrate the euangele eftire all euangelestis, that alsa ane vncorruptibile end be a virgine in the Apocalips to him to quham ane vncorruptibile beginnyng is gevin in Genesis, in the begynnyng of halie scripture; for Crist in the Apocalips sais, I am the beginnyng and the end. And this Johne is he that knew that the day of his depart ing was cummin. And he callit togiddir his discipilis in Ephesie, and schewit Crist be mony previngis of myraciles; and yede doun into a dolacn place of his berysing. And quhen he had made prayer he was put to his fadris, and was als mekile without scrow of deid as he is fundin cleen fra corruptioun of fiesch.
