PAR. 8.
YEa, if we may follow Iustinian in his Booke, De Christi agone, cap. 3. He opineth, That Christ did not onely wash the Apostles feete, but kissed them also. If so it were, what an un-heard of humility did Christ shew, to kisse the feete of Iudas; which were swift to shed blood, even innocent blood, even the blood of the Son of God? To kisse the rod, even the rod which was to be cast into the fire, after cor∣rection performed? To kisse Iudas his feete, in a more submissive way, though hee knew, that Iudas would kisse Christs face, and betray him by that kisse? Both which compared together, doe justly aggravate the sinne of Iudas, and subject him to greater damnation, to offer the kisse of Treachery unto Christ, who offered unto him the kisse of love, and humility.
