The sixth place is Luke 16:9: “Make ye friends of the unrighteous Mammon; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting tabernacles.” This he alleges to prove invocation of saints departed. But the sense is plain, that we should make friends with our riches of the poor; and thereby obtain their prayers whilst they live. “He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord.”

The seventh is Luke 23:42: “Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.” Therefore, saith he, there is remission of sins after this life. But the consequence is not good. Our Saviour then forgave him; and at His coming again in glory will remember to raise him again to life eternal.
