If any say his bodily pains were not equal to the bodily pains of them that are in hell, that being granted to them therein which they are unable to prove, it is sufficient to integrate and make up the execution of the full measure of wrath upon Christ, that if his bodily torments were not equal to the bodily torments of the damned, yet what was not executed upon his body, was executed upon his soul. The measure of hell-pains is made up without bodily pains in the Angels that fell, and if haply some minds labour concerning the capacity of the soul of a mere man, to hold such a measure of torment, they may remember that the soul of Christ who is both God and Man is above that objection, exceeding the capacity of all Men and Angels by reason of his personal union.
