First, is, by altering the comma or stop in the Text, and read it thus, I say unto thee this day, thou shalt be with me in Paradise, that to day, they do not refer it that the Thief should be in Paradise. Peter Martyr doth give two answers to this Evasion.

Another Answer, that it appears this cannot be the ⟨p. 189⟩sense of it, to refer to day to the time that Christ spake, and not the time that the thief should be in Heaven; for saith Gerrard, mark the thieves prayer in ver 42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom. Mark, there is the thieves when, that when Christ should come to Heaven. Christ should remember him. Christs Hodie must answer to his Quando, or else he did not answer his prayer. Christs to day, must answer the thieves when, that when Christ came to Heaven then to remember the thief. And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
