Here Satan doth wonderfully make grievous the offence committed, and doth accuse and terrify the offender with the judgements of God. Mat. 27 3. Then when Judas which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver, to the chief priests and elders, v. 4, Saying, I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood: but they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. Vers. 5. And when he had cast down the silver pieces in the Temple, ⟨image 136⟩he departed, and went and hanged himself.
