2. The manner of his repentance, the Spirit of terror entered into him, broke open his blinded eyes of understanding and conscience, to see his sin of blood guiltiness, Yea innocent blood, yea, the blood of his Lord and Master, yea, whom he had for a bribe of money most traitorously betrayed; this Spirit of terror was the Spirit of God, of the Law, that bore down the Spirit of Satan that blinded him: this brought him to horror and distress. The thirty pieces of money that before had seared his conscience to hardness, now torment and burn his conscience, and in this case was his tormented Soul till morning.
