Jumdiu emt quidem quod Christo recesserat, et avaritice laqueo se stct. aa. mspeiiderat, sed quod fecerat in occulta, palam omnibus innotuit. S. Martialis in Ep. ad Tholosanos. Non sustinuit pcenitentium, donee laqueo mortis seipsum consumpsit. Jgnat. ad Fhilippens. JDiabolus laqueum ei ostendit, et suspendium docuit. Leo Serm. 3. de passion. Ut quia facinus omnem mensuram ultionis excesserat, te haberet impietas tua judicem te pateretur sua poena Camificem.

Pependit Caelum Terramque intermedius vago funere suffocatus, et cum flagitio sua tumefacta, viscera crepuerunt, etc. Bernard. Serm. 8. in Psal. 9. Judas in Aere crepuit medius. 1. There are those that are so particular, that they acquaint us with the manner, as that it was done with a Cord. Antiochus Laurensis, Spem omnem a se cum abjecisset, insiliente in eum inimico (se. Diabolo) funiculo sibi prcefocavit gulam. Oecumen, in Act. Fracto funiculo quo erat suffocatus decidit in terram pracipitio. 2. That it was done on a Fig-Tree, Beda.

Euthym. cap. 67. in Math. Judas suspendio e vita non decessit, sed supervixit, dejectus est enim prius quam prcefocaretur, idque Apostolorum Acta indicant, quod pronus crepuit medius. Oecumen. in Act. And this may serve to reconcile these two seemingly disagreeing Scriptures. That our Fathers after the Flood erected the Tower oft Babel.] Pa^^, 37.
