22 Out of this error, arise two other that are more absurd, the one of those, who being led by the misunderstanding of the words of PETER, thought that the soul of Christ went indeed into Hell; to the end, that as in body he had preached the Gospel upon earth, unto those that were living: so also he should preach the said Gospel in his Spirit, unto the Spirits of those that were dead, as though that after death, there were any place left for preaching & repentance.
22 Out of this error, arise two other that are more absurd, the one of those, who beeing ledde by the misvnderstanding of the words of PETER, thought that the soule of Christ went indeed into Hell; to the ende, that as in bodie hee had preached the Gospell vpon earth, vnto those that were liuing: so also he should preach the said Gospel in his Spirit, vnto the Spirites of those that were dead, as though that after death, there were any place left for preaching & repentance.
23 The other error is of those, who dreamed that the Spirit of Christ should go unto the souls of the damned, that he might there also suffer in his soul, the pains ⟨p. 120⟩ordained in hell for the damned: as though that the soul of Christ, whilst it was in his body, did not bear those punishments for our sake; as both that horrible agony, which he sustained in the Garden, and also, that fearful cry, [My God, my God, &c.] which upon the Cross made Heaven and earth to tremble, do bear witness: or as though, that speech, [It is finished,] wherein our whole hope consisteth were untrue.
23 The other errour is of those, who dreamed that the Spirite of Christ should goe vnto the soules of the damned, that hee might there also suffer in his soule, the paines ⟨p. 120⟩ordained in hell for the damned: as though that the soule of Christ, whilest it was in his bodie, did not beare those punishmentes for our sake; as both that horrible agonie, which hee sustained in the Garden, and also, that fearefull crie, [My God, my God, &c.] which vpon the Crosse made Heauen and earth to tremble, doe beare witnesse: or as though, that speache, [It is finished,] wherein our whole hope consisteth were vntrue.
