The name and memory of Judas is accursed and execrable upon Earth. He is gibb••ed up with this remembrance, Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
The carriage of the Jews is detestable to the ears of all that have heard of the Name of Christianity, who preferred Barabbas, before the Lord Jesus. Away with him, not him but Barabbas. And yet there be multitudes in the world, who deal worse with the Lord Jesus in their daily course. Who sell Christ, not for Silver, but for their sins, and the lusts of their own hearts, and that they may give satisfaction thereunto. And proclaim it in their practises, Away with the commands of Christ, not they, but mine own carnal desires shall carry me. Away with the promises and comforts of Christ, not they, but the way wardness of mine own will and distempered perverseness of mine own heart, that only pleaseth me, Oh, but it will be replied, True it is, our infirmities may be many, and temptations strong, our failings great, by reason of the Body of death: but should we be haters and despisers of the Lord Jesus, its pity we should live. Should we hate him, that came to save us? we Hope we be far from that hellish frame.
