Acts1:25

25 That he may take part of this Ministery and Apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

[non-Latin text not transcribed], Or every ones Station in the World, is ordered by the Providence of God, and their part or portion is assigned to them; and so the Apostleship was unto the Apostles.

Hell or Destruction, not intended by Iudas, but righteously by God appointed for him, whilest he was in the World, (especially after his betraying of our Saviour) he was an Usurper in it; and as bad as the World was, it was too good for him. That these words should be understood of Matthias's succeeding into the Apostleship of Iudas as into his own place, is the less probable, because as yet he was not chosen into it.
