First of his name, Jude or Judas, which §Iwas the name of two of the Disciples of Christ: the first was Judas the son of Alpheus, the brother of James, and so near allied unto Christ; who was the writer of this Epistle. The other was Judas Iscariot, or Judas the traitor the son ⟨p. 3⟩of Simon who could not write this Epistle because he died before Christ.

The other was Iudas Iscariot, or Iudas the traytor the sonne ⟨p. 3⟩of Simon who could not write this Epistle because he died before Christ.
In this name consider two things. First the occasion of it, and secondly the variety of his name. The occasion of this name is set down with the reason of it in the 29. of Gen. 35. When Leah had borne three sons unto Jacob, she conceived again and bare a fourth son, saying, Now I will praise the Lord, therefore she called his name Judah, which signifieth praise or confession: so no doubt did Alpheus the father of this Jude at his birth give him such a name as might move not only himself but his child after him to thankfulness and confession of Gods goodness. So ought every father in imposing his children's names with Alpheus, and every mother with Leah make such choice of names as themselves and their children may be put in mind, yea, and stirred up to good duties, even so often as they shall hear or remember their own names. The second point in this name is the variety of the names of Jude, he was called Thaddeus,
