Shewing, I. His Mother's Dream after Conception; the Manner of his Birth; and the evident Marks of his future Shame. II. How his Parents, inclosing him in a little Chest, threw him into the Sea; where he was found by a King on the Coast of Iscariot, who called him by that Name. III. His Advancement to be a Privy-Counsellor; and how he unfortunately killed the King's Son. IV. He flies to Joppa; and, unknowingly, flew his own Father; for which he was forced to abscond a second Time. V. Returning a Year after, he married his Mother; who knew him to be her Child by the particular Marks he had, and by his Declaration. VI. And, lastly, seeming to repent of his wicked Actions, he followed our blessed Saviour, and became one of his Apostles; but after betray'd him into the Hands of the chief Priests; and then, miserably hanging himself, his Bowels dropt out of his Belly.
