First, the pain of the soul comes either from a cause without, or a cause within, or from both: If a man were to go to hell, it came either from his own sin deserving it, or from Gods wrath inflicting it, or from both; now Christ did ⟨p. 225⟩suffer punishments in his soul, but not so farre• they came for his own sin; the cause from within is sinful and detestable, but the cause from without is holy and righteous; therefore all that which came from Gods wrath inflicting punishment, all that Christ did suffer was so; but the wicked have a cause of sin within them, and that Christ having not, he needed not to suffer, and because he had no sin in him, he did not suffer all pains of hell; he suffered the displeasure of Gods wrath, but yet so much of the punishment as came from sin committed, that our Saviour did not suffer.
