Answ. We have already seen that Christ suffered the torments of hell in his body as well as in his soul; as it is evident that Christ suffered the torments of hell, for kind in his soul, so who can deny but he suffered also bodily torments equivalent to the torments of hell, though not inflicted after the same manner.

1All the flames of hell are not corporeal and material, witness that fire wherein the rich man was tormented, such as his eyes and tongue were, such ⟨p. 121⟩was the flame, Luk. 16.23, 24.2 Those flames of hell which torment the bodies of the damned (though justly acknowledged to be material) are material after a spiritual manner. They therefore are not to be heard who object against Christs suffering hell-pains in his body, because there was no visible instrument of such bodily pain.
