The eighth is Acts 2:24, where St. Peter saith of Christ, “that God had raised Him up, and loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible He should be holden of it”: which he interprets to be a descent of Christ into purgatory, to loose some souls there from their torments: whereas it is manifest that it was Christ that was loosed; it was He that could not be holden of death or the grave; and not the souls in purgatory. But if that which Beza says, in his notes on this place, be well observed, there is none that will not see, that instead of “pains” it should be “bands”; and then there is no further cause to seek for purgatory in this text.
