Abstract: We present a Lax pair for the sixth Painlev'e equation arising as a continuous isomonodromic deformation of a system of linear difference equations with an additional symmetry structure. We call this a symmetric difference-differential Lax pair. We show how the discrete isomonodromic deformations of the associated linear problem gives us a discrete version of the fifth Painlev'e equation. By considering degenerations we obtain symmetric difference-differential Lax pairs for the fifth Painlev'e equation and the various degenerate versions of the third Painlev'e equation.
