My son, seek thou no more than these; none end there is to make many books, and oft thinking is torment of [the] flesh.
And Solomon spake three thousand parables, and his songs were a thousand and five;
for in much wisdom is much indignation, and he that increaseth knowing, increaseth also travail.
But these be written, that ye believe, that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, and that ye believing have life in his name.
And there be also many other things that Jesus did, which if they be written each by itself, I deem that the world itself shall not [be able to] take the books, that be to be written. [Amen.]
Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me.
