Answ. 1. But how doth this hang together, first to argue that Judas received the Sacrament, because Christs discourse concerning Judas, and Judas his question Is it I? were immediately before the institution of the Sacrament: and again to prove that Judas did receive the Sacrament, because Christs discourse about Judas was after supper ended, and after the Sacrament which was instituted before supper ended? the one way of arguing destroyeth the other. 2. For that in Matthew and Mark, that Christ discoursed of the Traitor, and that Judas said Is it I? before the institution of the Sacrament, I confess; but that it was immediately before the institution of the Sacrament the Evangelists do not say, neither doth he prove it. Judas went out after that discourse and the sop, and how much of the consolatory and valedictory Sermon (which beginneth John 13. 31.) was spent before the distribution of the Sacrament, who is so wise as to know? 3. For that in Luke, I have proved that though he sets down the things, yet not in that order wherein they were done: which is also the opinion of Grotius upon that place. And for that John 13. 2. Supper being ended, I have answered before.
Answ. 1. But how doth this hang together, first to argue that Iudas received the Sacrament, because Christs discourse concerning Iudas, and Iudas his question Is it I? were immediately before the institution of the Sacrament: and againe to prove that Iudas did receive the Sacrament, because Christs discourse about Iudas was after supper ended, and after the Sacrament which was instituted before supper ended? the one way of arguing destroyeth the other. 2. For that in Matthew and Marke, that Christ discoursed of the Traytor, and that Iudas said Is it I? before the institution of the Sacrament, I confesse; but that it was immediately before the institution of the Sacrament the Evangelists doe not say, neither doth he prove it. Iudas went out after that discourse and the sop, and how much of the consolatory and valedictory Sermon (which beginneth Iohn 13. 31.) was spent before the distribution of the Sacrament, who is so wise as to know? 3. For that in Luke, I have proved that though he sets down the things, yet not in that order wherein they were done: which is also the opinion of Grotius upon that place. And for that
