Lastly, if this Repentance of Iudas was not true, 1what shall wee thinke of them that have not gone so farre as Iudas did, to repent, confesse, and restore, surely this is the case of many now adayes! All these things that were in the repentance of Iudas, are good and commendable in true repentance, but we must exceed it before wee can come at heaven; and therefore if they that doe not exceed it shall never come there, what shall become of those that come farre short of it?
