death And to pray three times O my Father if it be possible let this cup passe from me yet to shew that therefore hee came into the world and that he was content to dye hee submitted his will to Gods saying Neuerthelesse not as I will but as thou wilt Thirdly he was betrayed by one of his owne Iudas by name a Iudas in hart a Iudas in tongue a Iudas in deed came to him with a Iudas kisse saying Haile Master and betrayed Christ O beastly traiterous Beast to betray thy Master and that vnder colour of friendship with a kisse I say to betray thy Master whom thou wast bound to defend and oughtest to haue loued It was too much for any Barbarian to haue done but for thee which didst call him Master vvhich didst beare his Bagge which didst sit at his Table which wast conuersant vvith him to doe it was a Iudas tricke indeede too-too traiterous shamefull and beastly But what will not the desire of money doe What will you giue me said IVDAS and I will deliuer him vnto you I will deliuer him vnto you but first I must know what you will giue me Iudas tooke part with the Iewes Iudas betraied Christ Iudas damned himselfe and all for what will you giue me But what did his money him good when he had lost Christ lost Heauen lost his Soule and damned himselfe But was this the end of this When Iudas saw he was condemned he repented himselfe he brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priests and Elders he said I haue sinned betraying the innocent bloud he cast downe the siluer pieces in the temple he departed and went and hanged himselfe Hanging was the end of Iudas a fit end for such a traitor but that is not all he hangs in hell perpetually for it and he is serued as he deserued most iustly for bloud will haue bloud But did Iudas repent so is the text He repented and he said I haue sinned betraying the innocent bloud He did not repent truely for then hee would not haue hanged himselfe The word Repentance was in his mouth but the thing vvas not in his heart within him was a tormenting conscience which did accuse iudge and condemne him which did set before his eyes the haynousnesse of his fact the grieuousnesse of GODS Wrath Iudgement without mercy Hell-fire without redemption This desperate minde made him to depart from the companie to take an halter and hang himselfe See the force of Conscience in Iudas Mala conscientia delictorum nostrorum testis iudex tortor carcer accusat iudicat condemnat An euill conscience is a witnesse a Iudge a tormentor a prison of our sinnes it doth accuse iudge and condemne What thing more grieuous then day and night to carry about such a witnesse Iudge Tormenter and prison Omnia potest homo fugere praeter cor suum Nam quocunque vadit conscientia eum non derelinquit A man may auoide all things but his owne heart for whither-soeuer hee goeth it goeth with him either to excuse or accuse which are the effects of conscience The testimonie of a good conscience is a precious iewell and as Salcmon saith a continuall feast because it maketh a man alwayes merry The putting away of a good conscience causeth shipwracke of faith as in Himenaeus and Alexander Happy therefore is he which can truly say with that elect vessel S. Paul Herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towards God and towards men for if our heart condemne vs GOD is greater then our heart and knoweth all things but if our heart condemne vs not then haue wee boldnesse towards him and whatsoeuer we aske in faith we receiue of him A sicke conscience can no Physitian in the world cure but that heauenly Physitian Christ Iesu to him therefore let vs resort with all humilitie But to Iudas againe What will you giue me and I will deliuer him vnto you The desire of money is the roote of all mischiefe They which are poysoned with it doe erre from the Faith They pierce themselues through with many sorrowes they fall into temptations into snares into many foolish and noisome lusts which drowne men in perdition and destruction But men of God must flie those things and follow after righteousnesse godlinesse faith loue patience meekenesse laying hold of eternall life whereunto they are called By the end of Iudas let Seruants take heede that they betray not their Maisters for treason and rebellion most commonly haue a shamefull end such is Gods iust iudgement Let Masters also beware that they trust not euery seruant too farre no not though he be of his houshold and pretend good-will and seeme trusty euen so did Iudas yet was hee in truth but a seemer a dissembler a traitor For as there is no griefe to that of the minde no losse to that of life no feare to that of destruction so is there no enemie to a dissembling friend no treacherie to that which one of a mans owne may practise Here is Iudas for an example one of Christs Apostles and of his houshold as I may say one that asked Master is it I one that kissed him and seemed as trusty as any the rest yet for all that he was but a Iudas a halter a cloaker a dissembler a traitor All is not honie that is sweet neither is all gold that glisters so is not euery one a true seruant that saith Master Iudas was a double fellow hee had one question to Christ another to the Iewes to Christ Master is it I but to the Iewes what will you giue me and I will deliuer him vnto you This question of Iudas for the first part is very rife in the world at these dayes I will doe you a pleasure but what wil you giue me for my paines I will lend you a summe but what will you giue me for interest I will let you a piece of land but what will you giue me for a good fine Hee that will giue most shall haue it so all is what will you giue me and little without what will you giue me But let them vse it as long as they will it is but Iudas his question Christian charitie asketh no such question and yet is ready to pleasure and to lend And thus much for the treacherie of Iudas I will omit for breuities sake many circumstances as that all his Disciples forsooke him and fled like cowards when they saw swords and staues against him that Caiaphas the hie priest accused him of blasphemy that the people spat on him and smote him with rods that Peter denied him with a lie with an othe with a curse I come to Pontius Pilate the Gouernour This man though hee knew well that for enuy they had deliuered him though his Wife sent vnto him vpon the Iudgement seate to haue nothing to doe with that iust man though hee found no cause of death in him yet like a naughty man and
