IT is to be observed, that the Scripture
makes mention of three Judases; the
first in Judas Maccabeus, the second Judas the son of Joseph, the reputed father
of our Lord ; and third, Judas Iscariot,
the son of a tanner, living in repute at
Joppa, a sea-port town near Jerusalem.
This Judas who betrayed our Lord, was
his mother's first child, who dreamed
that the child in her womb would prove
both a thief and a murderer, and bring
her and hi r generation to shame & disgrace : which so terrified her, that she
was like to go distracted ; but her husband strove to pacify her, bidding her
leave it to G o d the wise disposer of all
things who may take it away in its in-
�4
fancy or endue it with more grace than
ever to be guilty of such dishonourable
actions.—This somewhat quieted her,
and she was soon after delivered of a
lovely male child ; but under his left
breast was the following curious marks,
viz a cross, a gallows, two daggers, and
several pieces of money : this likewise
terrified his mother, who concealed it
from her husband, determining, as soon
as she was able, to go to a magician anci
know the signification of these surprising marks. The child being circumcised, and she purified, according to the
old Jewish custom* she dressed herself
in disguise, put a veil on her face, and
taking with her a kinswoman, went to
the magician's, and being introduced
to him, she i elated her dream, her fears
and the marks upon her son, desiring
the interpretation of the dream, and
the signification of the marks.
The magician replied, 1 am no interpreter of dreams, neither do I justly
know the signification of marks, & the
�5
whofe of your story appears as strange
to me, as it can be amazing to you ; but
if you can tell me when the child was
born, I will calculate its nativity, add
see what it portends. He then called
for pen, ink, & paper, & sitting down,
calculated his nativity; & when he had
finished it, he shook his head, and his
countenance waxed pale; which being
perceived by Judas's mother, she said
unto him, do not deceive me, but tell
me true, hide nothing from me, whether
it be good or evil.—Then, said the magician, to your sorrow I have seen the
rules of the planet that reigned predominant at your son's birth, that he would
prove a thief and a murdeier, & what
is worse, he will, for lucre, betray the
Lord of Life ; for which act he will afterwards despair of mercy, lay violent
hands on himself, and come to a shameful end.—These words pierc'd the mother's heart, who, wringing her hands,
wished she had never been born, rather
than to have been the mother of such an
�6
unhappy child ; and asked the magician
what she could do to prevent the bringing of shame of disgrace on her family?
He told her he knew no way of prevention, but by laying violent hands on it,
which might be now easily done in its
infancy,—in a manner so as not to be
discovered.—To this she replied, that
she would not for ten thousand worlds
commit such an act of violence on her
son ; as if her husband had the least suspicion of it, he was so fond of Judas,
that he would never be reconciled to her
again ; yet for the sake of her family,
she would by some means or other prevent it without destroying it; and then
told the magician, if she had a small
boat made like a shell,with a cover to
go down close that no water might get
in, and a little vent to let in air at top,
and room in it to lie soft and easy, she
might without danger send him down
the river Jordan, and so commit him
wholly to the protection of Providence,
which might conduct him to some dis-
�7
tan t shore,irito thehands of sometender
persons, and thereby pieserve his life;
& if he afterwards commits those base
actions the shame will fall on his own
head, as no one will know from whom
he is descended. The magician highly
commended her for her invention, and
said he would procure such a boat for
her ; and she promising him a good reward for his assistance, returned home.
After she was gone, the magician sent
for one Rot, a very cunning artist, a
joiner, to trade, who undertook to make
the boat, drawing out with his pencil,
the form of it, carried it home with him,
wrought upon it in private, & having
soon finished it, brought it to the magician's house, who paid him largely for
it, & sent a servant to the house of Simon, who told Judas's mother, that the
matter which his master & she spoke of
was now finished. She understanding
him, went next morning to the magician's house, viewed the boit, & liked it
well, saying it was very convenient for
�8
the end intended, but seeffi'd perplexed
how she should do it privately* & keep
it from discovery as death was the consequence thereof. Her kinswoman begged her to leave that to her, and all
should be safe enough; for we will feign
the child sick for a day or two, in the
meantime we will make some inquiry in
the city for the dead body of some poor
male child which we will buy of its parents, and have it privately brought to
our house lo be buried ; in the meantime we will dispatch your son to sea,
and make him believe the other child
to be his, and that he died during his
absence ; so having it buried, the matter can never be brought to light.
The mother liked the contrivance, &
going home with a promise of a great
reward, and her friendship for life, she
swore her servants to secrecy, & then,
said she, we must act in this manner.
When your master comes home at night,
I shall put on verv dejected looks, and
when he asks the cause, I shall tell him
�9
that Judas is not well, and that I am apprehensive of his death, which you must
all testify & confirm. She accordingly
put this scheme into practice at night,
when her husband did all he could to
comfort her, telling her that they were
young, they mi^ht be parents of many
children; and going- up stairs to see the
child, the-maid then pinched its neck
till it was black in the face, and thinking it in convulsions, gave it over to
death. As soon as he was gone out in
the morning, the mother & kinswoman
took the child & went to the magician's
house, in order to put the child to sea.
They put on him many warm and rich
garments, with an upper coat of oil,
that no water might penetrate i t ; and
the magician, 011 a piece of parchment,
wrote the following words :
My Name is JUDAS.
which his mother sewed round his neek
and put him into the boat, and shut
�I •
v
'
10
down the cover. At parting with the
child the mother was almost distracted,
wringing her hands and weeping much,
but being comforted by the magician &
her kinswoman she was at last pacified,
& desired to go home, as she could not
bear to see her child put into the water,
so she and her kinswoman departed
home. The magician then took the boat
& cari ied it down to his own garden, at
the foot of which ran the river Jordan,
& putting it in where a strong* stream
ran, it was soon carried out of sight.
The mother when she got home fainted away, but was revived by being inforiii'd by her maid-servant, that during
her absence they had almost brought the
matter to a close, having found a neighhour's male child, who had died the day
before, and was just of the same age as
Judas, for whose body they had given
the parents a small sum of money, and
paid the expense of burying a coffin full
of bones, by way of a blind ; and the
�11
only thing to be done was to deceive
her husband, and get this child buried
under the sanction of Judas's body.
The father came home at night, and
finding his wife in tears, soon guessed
the dismal cause ; and inquiring of the
servants, they with dissembled grief
told him, that the child died in the
morning soon after his departure. The
man was much affected with the loss of
his child, and thinking to prevent his
wife's grief by the sight of the body he
had it removed to a kinsman's house,
and in a day or two interred it from
thence, believing it to be his son.
By this time Providence had conducted
Judas, alive & well, upon the coast of
of Iscariot, a kingdom in Palastine,
where Pheophilus the king often used
to recreate himself, in beholding the
ships pass and repass at sea. It happened that the very day that Judas was
cast on the coast, the king and his nobles came on that diversion, & as they
were standing on the top of the rock,
�looking into the sea, the king espied a
little boat floating upon the water, and
thinking it to be a chest of some wrecked ship, he ordered a servant to put out
a boat and fetch it; which being done,
and brought to the king, lie ordered it
to be broke open; when to their great
surprise, they found a lovely babe* who
look,d up, and smiled in the king's
face. Then said the king to the child,
WELCOME AS MY OWN C H I L D ;
and expressed much joy in being providentially sent to preserve the babe's
life, and taking it up in his arms, said,
if thou wert a child begat by me, I
could not esteem or value thee more.
Then he espied about its neck the aforementioned parchment, viz :
My Name is JUDAS.
Well, said the king, as thy name is Judas, I will now double name thee, and
then called him Judas Iscariot, because
he found him near the coast of that
�IS
name. He was then brought to court,
treated as the king's own child, & at a
proper age educated well, and at last
became a man of learning and parts,
and behaved himself so wisely, that the
king made him his principle steward.
Judas being arrived at this rank, still
coveted greater, and remembering the
queen one day said, that if the prince,
her son died, Judas should be her beir,
he therefore set about contriving to kill
him, accordingly professed great love
and friendship for him ; and one day
being walking- together, Judas took
occasion to quarrel with the prince,
and maliciously slew him, thinking all
would go well with him if he was dead.
Behold the servant which the king
Long nourish'd in his breast,
Grown v arm, strikes forth his baneful
sting,
And robb'd him of his rest.
�14
Though none accused him of the murder, yet his conscience so stung* him,
that he soon quitted the kingdom, leaving all his pomp and finery behind him,
and changing his name, look upon him
the mean employ of a servant, wandering about from place to place, until at
length he arrived at Joppa, the place of
his nativity; here he soon got a place in
a nobleman's family, where he behaved
so well as to gain the esteem of his lord
and lady, and all that knew him. One
day it happened, that as his lady was
walking abroad big with child, she longed for some fruit, which she saw in Judas's father's garden, bidding him go &
buy her some. He took the money, but
resolved to steal the fruit; and going
to the garden, broke down the fences,
which as he was doing his father came
out and seized him for the robbery, &
Judas, to keep himself from the hand
of justice, murdered his father, and
immediately escaped to Theba, a city
about seventy-six leagues distance.
Ifere he continue J about four years,
�15
in which time the noise of the murder
being blown over, he retnrned back
again, and got a good place in a nobleman's family, where he lived sometime,
till his own mother accidentally seeing
him fell in love with and married him.
About five years after they had been
married, one morning in bed Judas'*
shirt bosom lay open, when she saw
under his left breast the marks he was
born with ; upon which she waked him
in an agony, and told him the story
of his birth, and the part she had acted
therein. Judas heard this with wonder
and astonishment, and on his part confessed to her the many crimes he had
been guilty o f ; after which she desired
him to depart from her, and seek mercy of God in another country ; protesting she would never be carnally
known to him any more.
Judas full of grief & remorse of conscience, left Joppa and wandered about
like a pilgrim, till he heard of a mighty
prophet called Jesus of Nazareth,
�16
in the land of Judea, who wrought
many miracles, and wondeiful works;
to him he went, and liking his doctrine
and seeing his miracles, he begged of
our Lord to be admitted one of his followers: making him one of his disciples,
and also his treasurer. Notwithstanding all this Judas could not forget his
covetousness, for when Mary Magdalen brought a box of costly ointment,
to annoint our dear Lord's feet, at the
house of Simon the Leper, Judas was
offended thereat, because the value
thereof was not put into his bag. But
our Lord knowing his covetous and
wicked heart, sharply rebuked him ; at
which he was so enraged, that he in
revenge premeditated, and put into
execution, the worst action of all his
life, and going to the chief priests and
elders, he said unto them, what will
you give me, and I will betray him
they call Jesus into your hands ? And
they agreed with him for thirty pieces
of silver,
�17
The love of money is a rock
Which causes care and trouble,
And he that hasteth to be rich,
He makes his sorrows double.
Money's a most alluring bate,
Conducive unto evil,
For this, base Judas sold his God,
Himself unto the devil.
When ourLord was instituting his last
snpper, he said unto his disciples, I have
chosen you twelve, but one of you is a
devil. And again, Verily I say unto ye,
one of ye this night shall betray me, &
he it is unto whomsoever I shall give a
sop: then giving a sop unto Judas, he
said unto him what thou dost do quickly. With the sop the devil entered into
Judas, and he went out from amongst
them.—Judas then went to the chief
priests, & received the thirty pieces of
silver ; so taking with him an armed
band, telling them that whomsoever he
should kiss, the same was he, hold him
�18
fast, came back to where Jesus was,
and meeting him in the Garden of
Gethsemane, he went up to him saying,
Hail, Master, and kissed him. Then
they laid hands on the Lord, and bound
hitu as a thief and a murderer, and led
him away to the high Priest and Eldei
who asked him many question3 ; to
which our Lord gave them no answer,
•but stood like a lamb dumb before his
shearers. Nevertheless, the whole assembly, though they found nothing
worthy of death in him, one by one
passed the following sentences on him :
