THE ARGVMENT OF THE EPISTLE OF S. IVDE.
In
the Gospel these are called Fratres Iesu, the brethren
of Iesus: Iames and Ioseph, and Simon, and Iude. note Their
father is called Alphaus, vvhere Iames is termed, Iames
of Alphæus: and their mother, Maria Iacobi minoris. note
Marie the mother of Iames the yonger and of Ioseph. note
Vvhich Marie in an other place being called Maria
Cleophæ, vve perceiue their father vvas named both Alphæus
and also Cleophas. And that this Cleophas vvas brother
to Ioseph our Ladies husband, note Hegesippus telleth vs. Therfore because Ioseph
vvas called the father of Christ, his brothers children, vvere called the brethren,
that is (according to the custom of the scripture also) the kinsmen of our
Lord: and not because they vvere the children of Ioseph him self by an other vvife,
much lesse (as Heluidius the heretike did blaspheme) by our B Ladie the
perpetual virgin Marie. Hovvbeit some good authors say, that their mother
Marie vvas the natural sister of our Ladie, and that therfore they are called,
Fratres Domini, the brethren of our Lord.
Hovvsoeuer that be, three of them are reckened am&obar;g the 12. Apostles, Iames,
and Simon Cananaus, and Iude. note Yea and that they vvere somevvhat more then
Apostles, though lesse then Peter, S. Paul signifieth, vvhere he saith speaking of
him self and Barnabas: As also the other Apostles, and the brethren of
our Lord, and Cephas. 1. Cor. 9.
And as S. Luke calleth this Iude, Iude of Iames, so he calleth him self in
this Epistle of his, Iude the seruant of Iesus Christ, and the brother of
Iames. note S. Mathevv and S. Marke do call him Thaddaeus, as Lebbæus also in the
Greeke. His feast and his brother Simons together, the Church keepeth Octob. 28.
called Simon and Iudes day.
His Epistle is an Inuectiue against al heretikes (as it vvere a Commentarie
of 2 Pet. 2.) and namely (as note S. Aug. hath told vs) against those, vvhich misconstred
S. Paules Epistles and held Only faith, vvhom he calleth therfore, Men
that transferre or peruert the grace of God into riotousnes, v. 4. exhorting
Catholikes to be constant and vnmoueable from their old faith, and to contend
for the keeping thereof, v. 3. and v. 20. For, heretikes (saith he) segregate them
selues from the Church and from her faith. v. 19.
