2. The fruits and use of Christs descension into hell.
Christ descended into hell: 1. That we might not descend thither, but rather that he might free us from the eternal pains and torments thereof. 2. That he might transport and carry us triumphantly with him into heaven. 1Wherefore, to believe in Christ, which descended into hell, is to believe, that Christ sustained for me in his soul infernal and hellish pains and torments, and that exceeding ignominy, which is due unto the wicked in hell: that thereby I might not descend into hell, and that I might never be forced to suffer them; all which otherwise I should suffer in hell eternally: but that of the contrary rather I might ascend with Christ into heaven, and there enjoy with him exceeding happiness and glory for ever and ever. This is the use and profit of this Article of Christs descension into hell.
