If by the word cross, we understand the sufferings which the Son of God endured, both in soul and body, as Esay 55. verse 3. Being filled with sorrows, and full of heaviness in soul, even to the death, as having drunk the cup of God’s anger, whereon he cried, My God, my god, why hast thou forsaken me? it is most certain, that such sufferings exceed representation. For our sense cannot comprehend them: but by faith we understand, that they were infinite and unspeakable. Therefore we say in our Creed, that we believe Christ Jesus did suffer, that he was crucified, dead, and buried, that he descended into hell: all these then being unspeakable, must needs be likewise irrepresentable.

For the reference, see Antoine de La Faye on Christ’s incomprehensible sufferings.
