Universality, antiquity and consent have so determinately concluded that Judas hanged himself, that there is no gainsaying: yet hath the Greek word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 left it so indiffe∣rent, whether he hanged himself, or were strangled by the Devil, that if I were not tied up by the consent of all to the contrary, I should the rather take it the latter way: And if I durst so interpret it, I should render 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, to this purpose: that Satan took him away bodily, strangled him in the air; and then flung him headlong and burst out his bowels. For 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Qui vel a seipso vel ab alio praecipitatur, saith Stephanus. And to this purpose may that verse of Matth. 27. 5. be very well interpreted; And he cast down the silver pieces in the Temple, and departed, and going away he was strangled: the De∣vil catching him away and stifling him, and then casting him headlong, and bursting out of him with the eruption of his intrals, and this terrible occurrence would soon be noted of all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Acts 1. 19.
