CHAP. X. That if it could be proved that Judas received the Lords Supper, it maketh nothing against the Suspension of known wicked persons from the Sacrament.
I Have now done with the first part of this Controversy concerning Judas, and have disproved that which Mr Prynne hath said either for Judas his receiving of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, or for his eating of the Passover. In which particulars, though learned and godly Divines who are against the admission of scandalous sinners to the Sacrament, are not all of one opinion, yet all look upon it as a matter of debate, and I know none that ever cried down with scorn and contempt the opinion of Judas his not receiving of the Sacrament, except Mr Prynne whose grounds are ofttimes weakest where his assertions are strongest.
