Book 3 › Chapter 8: Whether Judas received the Sacrament of the Lords Supper.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Unto all these Testimonies add Ammonius Alexandrinus de quatuor Evangeliorum consonantia, cap. 155. where he hath the story of Judas his receiving of the sop, and his going forth immediately after he had received it: thereafter cap. 156. he addeth the institution and distribution of the Lords Supper, as being in order posterior to Judas his going forth. So likewise before him Tacianus doth make the History of the institution of the Sacrament to follow after the excluding of Judas from the company of Christ and his Apostles: which neither of them had done, if they had not believed that Judas was gone before the Sacrament. With all these agreeth lInnocentius the third, who holdeth expressly that the Sacrament was not given till Judas had gone forth: and that there is a recapitulation in the narration of Luke. Moreover as it is evident by the forementioned Testimonies of Theophylact that some of the Ancients did hold that Christ gave not the Sacrament to Judas: so also the Testimony cited by Mr Prynne out of Victor Antiochenus beareth witness to the same thing: sunt tamen qui Judam ante porrectam Eucharistiae Sacamentum exivisse existiment. But yet (saith he) there are who conceive that Judas went forth before the Sacrament of the Eucharist was given. And with these words Mr Prynne closeth his citation out of Victor Antiochenus. But I will proceed where he left off. The very next words are these, Sane Johannes quiddam ejusmodi subindicare videtur. Certainly John seemeth to intimate some such thing. Which is more then half a consenting with those who think that Judas went forth before the Sacrament of the Lords Supper. I shall end with two Testimonies of Rupertus Tuitiensis, mone upon the ⟨p. 455⟩sixth: nanother upon the thirteenth of John. The latter of the two speaketh thus, being Englished. But we must know, that, as it hath been also said before us, if Judas after the sop did go forth immediately, as a little after the Evangelist saith, without doubt, he was not present with the Disciples at that time when our Lord did distribute unto them the Sacrament of his own body and blood. And a little after, Therefore by the Lords example the good ought indeed to tolerate the bad in the Church, until by the fan of judgement the grain be separated from the chaff, or the tares from the wheat:
