Ultima, = the last things in reference to the first and middle things

And where was that? our Adversaries say in Limbus, and yet (to give them their due) Bellarmine so means not as that Limbus was Paradise, ¹but that in Limbus this thief had his Paradise, to wit, the vision of God: The vision of God (saith Bellarmine) is a true Paradise indeed, not local, but spiritual. But with Bellarmines leave we have no such sense of Paradise, in any part of holy Writ. In the old Testament we read of an earthly Paradise, wherein Adam lived; in the new Testament we read of an Heavenly Paradise, whither Paul was caught, yet both these were local, for the one (saith Moses) ⟨p. 217⟩was a garden Eastward in Eden, Gen 2.8.² and the other (saith Paul) was in heaven, which he calls the third heaven, 2. Cor. 12.2.³ and that Paradise in my Text must be understood of Heaven, this resemblance confirms; the first Adam sinned against God, and was presently cast out of that Paradise on earth; the second Adam made satisfaction for sin, and so must presently enter into this Paradise of heaven: because of the sin of the first Adam, both he and all his posterity were thrust out of Eden; because of the sufferings of the second Adam, both he, and we, this Thief, and all believers, are to go into heaven. So then this Paradise whither Christ is gone, and this Thief went with him, what is it? but as Paul calls it, the third heaven? or as the Thief himself styled it in his prayer to our Saviour, Remember me; where? in thy Kingdom.
