12 It was not necessary, that the time wherein he lay in the grave, should in every point be answerable to the Type of JONAH; but we are to know, that (Christ hasting as it were unto the victory) the Scripture is wont, by setting down a part for the whole, to give the name of some whole thing to the beginning and end thereof. So Christ being put in the grave, at the latter end of that day, which went before the Sabaoth, lay in the grave the whole Sabbath, according to the custom of the Jews, which account a natural day, from Evening to Evening, and rose again the beginning of the next, which was the first day of the week.

13 Concerning this Article of the descension of Christ ⟨p. 118⟩into Hell, it is manifest, that there is no mention made of either, in the Nicene or in any other of the ancient creeds, and RVFFINVS witnesseth, that it was not read in the Church of Rome.
14 No man therefore ought to wonder, if some question be made of the meaning thereof.
