Theo. He said not simply that it had bin good that Judas had never bin borne.1 For how mischievous so ever he was GOD made his wicked treason to serve to his glory. And therefore it was good that he was borne in respect of gods glory, which created all things to that end. But sith Judas was so wicked that he mischievously rebelled against God, and thereby deserved eternal damnation, our Saviour Christ spake in respect of the person of Judas, that it had been better that he had never been borne, than so wickedly to cast away himself for ever. Wherein our saviour Christ teacheth us two things worthy to be noted.
