Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 10:7

7. Or, Who shall descend into the deep, that is to bring up Christ again from the dead

By the Deep, here understand Hell, vid. Luc. 8.31. Rev. 20, 1.3. and 9.1. q. d. Don't enquire distrustfully, and despairingly, whether thou shalt go to Hell, or who shall go thither to see, and bring thee word, if such as thou are there.

This were in effect to frustrate, and make void the death of Christ; tis as much as to say, He never dyed for us, or he must come again, and suffer, and shed his Blood for the Remission of our sins. He dyed to deliver us from Death and Damnation; He endured the wrath of God, that we may escape it. The sence of the whole is this, That the Doctrine of Iustification by Faith, doth not propose such difficult and impossible Terms, as the Doctrine of justification by Works. The righteousness of the Law, that speaks terror, and puts us into a continual fear of Hell, and despair of Heaven; but the righteousness of Faith, that speaks Comfort, and forbids all amazeing fear and troubles about our Salvation or Damnation.
