much as he did not believe that Christ suffered on his own accord for had he been of that belief he had been converted as was Simon and had not hang'd himself Thirty pieces of Silver viz. Thirty Pence I have sinned in that I have Betrayed the innocent Blood Vers 4. lest it should be thought that he had betrayed him as finding some Evill in him it was so ordered by Divine disposition that he should say before the Chief Priests I have sinned in that I have betrayed Innocent blood What is that to us Thou knowest Hereby they cast the blame on Judas as if they had been clear of the matter whereas if they had been so pleased he had not been Crucified And he Cast down the silver in the Temple Ver. 5. viz. he earnestly contended with them to take it back again and they would not receive it he therefore cast it down in a fury and went his way He went and hanged himself Acts. 1.18 Mathew sayeth thus but Luke in the Acts writes that he burst in sunder in the midst and all his Bowels gush'd out A Reconciliation of the difference between the Evangelists concerning the Death of Judas and both are in the Right For there was strangling and bursting in the case and every of the Evangelists writes of the one for after he had cast down the Silver in the Temple he cast a Rope about his own Neck in a Wood belonging to his House and it happening that some passing by saw him hanging and loosed him before he was choaked Others say the Rope brake and that for some days after he was sick and swelled to so large dimensions as that a Cart could not bear him and his head was sore puffed up and his eyelids so swolne that he could not see And Papias saith That his privy Members were mightily enlarged and that putrid matter abominable stench and Worms proceeded from them Epiphanius saith That he lived four days after his Suspension that he was cut in twain Epiphanies his Opinion and that his Bowels gushed out Others That he died of that Disease and they did not bury him for that it was a custom to leave those unburied who hanged themselves Wherefore he did stink and became offensive and a Nusance to the Inhabiters round about and they were forced to remove him thence on a Bier and when they lifted him up he fell and bursted and all his bowels gush'd out It is said by St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles Let his habitations be waste That is to say Acts 1.20 after they had buried him the ill savour of his house offended the inhabitants and they removed thence the stones and the rest of the materials and so his habitation became waste to wit Scariot and uninhabited His house was seated in Jerusalem Because it is the price of Blood Vers 6. Hereby they plainly shew that they bought his blood at a Price and did not put him to death as guilty And bought with them the Potters field to bury strangers in Vers 7. That is to say for a Sepulcher of strangers and to cover the wickedness of the murder by their pretended provision for strangers and while they labour by pretext to conceal their fraud God on the contrary ordains that the names of both should perish as well of the Potters as of the strangers Vers 8. for it was called the Field of Blood he calls Agorsa the Field or Land which belongs to one that makes Potts and Vessels and such like Potters ware and this man was one of these three either he made Earthen Ports or his Ancestors were Potters or his Name was such as imported Potter as they call men by many and sundry Names Took the thirty pieces of Silver Vers 9. those things which the Jews did wickedly and voluntarily were the accomplishment of the Prophecie These words were set down as a Parable which the Prophet converts by application into matter of Fact An Error of the Translator Corrected John 18.33 as this Out of Egypt have I called my Son These words Took thirty Pieces of Silver are not written in Jeremy as we find in Mathew but are written in Zachary and by Error the Translator wrote Jeremy instead of Zachary Pilate entre'd into the Praetorium Viz. the place where the King or Judg sits and gives Judgment in publick Causes Art thou King of the Jews Vers 11. Because the Jews accused him they added that he said of himself that he was King and Pilate being above all other thing most Solicitous hereof asked him this question for he thought this a matter against the Roman Government and that it behoved him who was set up in the place of Authority as a Warden or Judge to be more inquisitive thereof than all others Thou sayest Ver. 12. Which was a much as if he had said I am And he gave him no answer that is to say neither to Pilate nor to the Jews for they had not profited by his Answer moreover over that the words of Isaiah may be fullfilled He was dumh and opened not his mouth And he wonder'd mightily Ver. 14. that is to say it being so easy for him to speak and get the victory there being no cause of death alledg'd against him he was silent Luk. 23.9 Luke says that Jesus answered him not a word that is to Herod he gave no answer nor wrought a miracle before him lest they should rescue him from the Crucifiers by force he being a Gallilean and so retard his sufferings from the Cross which he was prepared to undergo But Herod contemned him because he neither answered him nor wrought a miracle before him Chastise him therefore and let him go Luk. 23.16 That is to say cause him to be scourged and permit him to depart for Pilate himself perceived that they conspired against him and it was the custom to dismiss at the Feast one that was Chastised The Jews said unto him Joh 18.31 It is not lawfull for us to put any one to Death That is to say it is lawfull for them to execute to death in another manner than that of the Cross which is manifest by their stoning of Stephen but as to Christ they said It is not lawful for us to put him to death as a Traytor or Rebell against Caesar and as one that taught the Jews to rise in Rebellion against the Romans so that being to be put to death under that notion he might not receive any favour at his Death being one that suffered for a Capitall offence Moreover it is not Lawful for us his transgression is not onely against us or our Law but his insolency reacheth so far as to offend Caesar also Again Divine Dispensation utter'd this by their mouths that the speech of our Saviour before he was betrayed might befulfilled My Kingdom is not of this World Jo. 18.36 That is to say The
