Those Divines that thus interpret the Articles of Christs descent into hell, concerning soul-sufferings of Gods wrath, distinguish the sufferings of Christ into outward, intended by them in those words [he was crucified, dead and buried] and inward,1 intended in those words [he descended into hell] which is a distribution in respect of the subject, and not of the adjunct, as you mistake, and is as if they should say, The penal wrath of God or hell-pains which Christ suffered were either outward, viz. such as he suffered in body, or inward, viz. such as he suffered in soul, and this article of his descent into hell signifieth his inward pains, namely, those which he suffered in soul and not in his body.
