   • 1615, John Ainsworth, The Trying Out of the Truth […] , page 122:

   • 1675, Francis Roberts, Clavis Bibliorum: The Key of the Bible […] , page 573:

     The Catholique (or General) Epistle of the Apostle JUDAS

   • 1778, John James Bachmair, The Revelation of St. John Historically Explained […] , page 11:

     St. Peter writes against those that had the doctrine of Balaam, 2 Pet. ii. 15, 16. St. Judas did the same, Jud. v. 11.

• This name has been borne by Judas Maccabeus and the two apostles Judas Thaddaeus and also Judas Iscariot, because of whom the name is rarely used as a Christian name. The doublet Jude, on the other hand, is tolerably common, as only Judas Thaddaeus is known by that variant.
