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.
First, is, by altering the comma or stop in the Text, and reade it thus, I say unto thee this day, thou shalt be with mee in Paradise, that to day, they doe not referre it that the Thiefe should be in Paradise. Peter Martyr doth give two Answers to this Evasion.
First, saith he, it is not safe to alter a comma, or stop in Scripture, for so you may pervert the Scripture, and make it speak what it never meant, if men at their pleasure disagreeing from all Copies, alter comma's in the translation.

Another Answer, that it appears this cannot be the sense of it, to refer to day, to the time that Christ spake, and not to the time that the thief should be in heaven, for saith Gerrard, mark the thieves prayer, ⟨p. 137⟩In ver. 42. And be 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 to his Prayer. Christs to day, must answer the thieves when, that when Christ came to Heaven there to remember the thief. And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
