Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

24 But we (omitting the whole controversy, concerning the putting in, or the blotting out of this Article) do simply understand, by the Descension of Christ into hell, those things, which Christ being made a curse for us, suffered in his soul for our sake, in those torments especially, which were so grievous, as nothing could be, no not imagined more horrible.
24 But wee (omitting the whole controuersie, concerning the putting in, or the blotting out of this Article) do simplie vnderstand, by the Descension of Christ into hell, those things, which Christ being made a curse for vs, suffered in his soule for our sake, in those torments especiallie, which were so greeuous, as nothing could be, no not imagined more horrible.
25 By the word DESCENSION therefore, is not meant any removing from a higher place to a lower, because that can properly agree neither unto the Deity, which is every where, nor unto the body, which of it self lay dead in the Grave, neither unto the soul, which being commended unto the Father, was straight way in Paradise, after it was separated from the body.
25 By the word DESCENSION therefore, is not ment any remoouing from a higher place to a lower, because that can properlie agree neither vnto the Deitie, which is euery where, nor vnto the bodie, which of it selfe lay dead in the Graue, neither vnto the soule, which beeing commended vnto the Father, was straight way in Paradise, after it was separated from the body.
26 Now the word HELL, which in the Scripture is diversly taken, signifieth neither the Grave, because that explanation should be superfluous and obscure; neither yet the place of the damned, as it is clear out of the former Principles.
