What is the fourth opinion?

Of them who saie, that nothings else is meant by these words then that Christ did descend into the state of the dead, and that hee was added to the number and companie of other the deade, for whom he dyed, according to Dauids saying. Psalm. 28.5.6. I am reckoned amongst them which goe downe into the graue. And Psal. 88. I am as a man without strength, I am counted among thē that go downe into the pit, Free among the deade like the slaine lying in the graue, whom thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off by thine hand: Whereupon hee is said to bee raised againe, not from the graue, but from the dead, which sense and opinion doth not much differ from the first of the former.
