Hitherto concerning the passion of Christ: now concerning his death, and those things which followed his death, namely his burying, and descending into hell.
The death of Christ is part of his obedi∣ence, when commending his soule to his fa∣ther hee gaue vp the ghost on the crosse, to ratifie his Testament, and to loose the feare of death. Heb. 9.15.16.17. and 2.14.15.
The burying of Christ, is that whereby his body was layed into the new tombe. Mat. 27.59.60. Mar. 15.46. Actes. 13.29. 1. Cor. 15 4.
Christ was buried for foure causes.
1. That it might appeare that he was dead indeed.
2. That hee might bury our sinnes with himselfe.
3. That we might with him be buried to sinne. Rom. 6.4.

4. That he might sanctifie our sepulchres.
The descending of Christ to hell, is the very last degree of Christes humiliation, when he was kept downe in the graue vnder the bondes of death three dayes, and three nightes, as though he had bene vtterly o∣uercome. Actes. 2.24.27.29.30. Psal. 16.10. Ephes. 4.9. Mat. 12.40.
The end of this, is that he might abolish the sting of hell. 1. Cor. 15.55.
