The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

And wheresoever these two are inflicted, there is penal hell, though it be not in local Hell. These two kinds of punishment are chiefly inflicted on the damned, in local Hell, sometimes a good measure of it in this life. But on Jesus Christ all was inflicted on Earth, where sin is committed. And great reasons might be offered why it must be so.

2. The place of punishment is not of the Essence, or an Essential part of the punishment of sin; the judge may choose and appoint the place, where the punishment shall be inflicted and executed. It was an act of Gods infinite wisdom to appoint and order that Jesus Christ should suffer the punishment of sin in this world among men, it is most agreeable to the Covenant of works that it should be so; it is great love to his Elect that it is so, it is not yet revealed where the place of Hell is, or shall be. Some great divines have thought, that after the day of Judgement, the Earth shall be the place of Hell, that the place of committing sin, shall be the place of punishing of it. Sure it was so with Jesus Christ, he suffered the punishment of sin on Earth, where sin was committed.
