beget_v and_o bring_v forth_o in_o a_o way_n of_o uncleanness_n as_o adultery_n fornication_n and_o the_o like_a and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n than_o he_o say_v nothing_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o scruple_n because_o this_o holiness_n of_o the_o child_n may_v be_v question_v as_o well_o as_o their_o own_o etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o to_o expound_v the_o apostle_n this_o way_n make_v only_o forth_o clear_v of_o the_o scruple_n which_o scruple_n befall_v the_o corinthian_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o epistle_n which_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o they_o before_o as_o 1_o cor._n 5_o 9_o wherein_o he_o so_o press_v they_o from_o have_v any_o communion_n or_o fellowship_n with_o any_o unclean_a person_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o they_o understand_v of_o civil_a commerce_n with_o the_o world_n upon_o which_o they_o question_v the_o lawful_a retain_v of_o their_o unbelieved_a husband_n and_o wife_n and_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o they_o in_o that_o near_a relation_n of_o husband_n and_o wife_n in_o their_o civil_a commerce_n and_o society_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o have_v a_o example_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n in_o the_o law_n ezra_n 10.7_o about_o which_o thing_n they_o write_v to_o the_o apostle_n for_o information_n 1_o cor._n 7.1_o and_o question_v not_o their_o child_n whereby_o it_o appear_v they_o hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o to_o retain_v their_o child_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n answer_v from_o a_o double_a ground_n thus_o 1._o in_o that_o

in_o that_o comfortable_a estate_n and_o society_n of_o marriage_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o man_n and_o wife_n to_o abide_v in_o 2._o if_o you_o judge_v yourselves_o to_o live_v in_o such_o a_o way_n of_o uncleanness_n upon_o which_o you_o must_v now_o part_v than_o your_o child_n so_o beget_v be_v unclean_a and_o to_o be_v put_v away_o also_o but_o in_o that_o you_o 〈◊〉_d it_o lawful_a to_o retain_v your_o child_n and_o not_o to_o put_v they_o away_o though_o you_o believe_v and_o they_o do_v not_o then_o much_o more_o the_o unbelieved_a parent_n as_o aforesaid_a that_o bear_v they_o for_o if_o the_o effect_n be_v holy_a then_o must_v the_o cause_n be_v also_o holy_a that_o produce_v the_o same_o which_o be_v god_n holy_a ordinance_n of_o marriage_n and_o not_o his_o holy_a covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o lawful_a restrain_v of_o the_o unbelieved_a husband_n and_o wife_n from_o the_o holiness_n of_o their_o child_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o clear_a than_o this_o that_o such_o child_n as_o be_v beget_v in_o uncleanness_n be_v not_o approve_v of_o in_o god_n holy_a covenant_n of_o life_n not_o any_o way_n holy_a either_o by_o law_n or_o gospel_n how_o then_o can_v this_o tend_v to_o remove_v the_o corinthian_n scruple_n to_o tell_v they_o they_o may_v lawful_o continue_v together_o because_o their_o child_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o life_n and_o so_o be_v holy_a when_o as_o their_o scruple_n lie_v in_o matter_n of_o uncleanness_n upon_o which_o they_o be_v to_o part_v now_o this_o must_v first_o be_v clear_v whether_o they_o be_v so_o or_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o before_o ever_o they_o can_v believe_v the_o holiness_n of_o their_o child_n or_o any_o such_o to_o be_v in_o god_n gracious_a covenant_n for_o the_o child_n of_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n be_v debar_v the_o holy_a covenant_n both_o in_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o scruple_n be_v about_o the_o unlawful_a commerce_n of_o the_o believer_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o not_o of_o their_o marriage_n as_o if_o they_o live_v in_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n and_o so_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o that_o respect_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o they_o scruple_n not_o their_o marriage_n than_o it_o hold_v true_a also_o that_o they_o do_v not_o question_v the_o lawful_a retain_v of_o their_o child_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n argument_n from_o the_o same_o be_v of_o force_n to_o prove_v the_o lawful_a continue_v of_o their_o parent_n also_o though_o the_o one_o call_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o so_o a_o believer_n and_o the_o other_o not_o in_o which_o respect_n they_o judge_v their_o child_n free_a from_o that_o uncleanness_n the_o unbelieved_a parent_n be_v or_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o to_o which_o the_o apostle_n answer_v and_o affirm_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o the_o child_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a respect_n if_o they_o put_v away_o the_o one_o as_o unclean_a upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o other_o be_v unclean_a and_o to_o be_v put_v away_o also_o and_o as_o the_o one_o be_v holy_a and_o to_o be_v retain_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o other_o be_v holy_a and_o to_o be_v retain_v likewise_o and_o i_o conclude_v as_o i_o begin_v that_o the_o holiness_n here_o both_o of_o the_o unbelieved_a parent_n and_o the_o child_n be_v the_o same_o for_o nature_n be_v oppose_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o uncleanness_n which_o be_v only_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o creature_n in_o a_o natural_a respect_n not_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o gracious_a covenant_n of_o life_n in_o a_o spiritual_a respect_n as_o it_o be_v affirm_v and_o so_o this_o scripture_n also_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o it_o for_o the_o prove_v of_o infant_n true_a subject_n of_o baptism_n one_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o proposition_n i_o can_v pass_v which_o be_v this_o 〈…〉_o 〈…〉_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o believer_n state_n in_o grace_n all_o his_o fruit_n be_v holy_a and_o partake_v with_o the_o same_o state_n of_o grace_n with_o he_o unless_o they_o do_v by_o some_o act_n of_o they_o deprive_v themselves_o of_o it_o as_o esau_n and_o ishmael_n a_o word_n brief_o of_o this_o and_o so_o i_o leave_v it_o as_o answer_v already_o 〈…〉_o 〈…〉_o 1._o if_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n than_o one_o may_v be_v save_v by_o another_o man_n faith_n for_o here_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o believer_n state_n in_o grace_n all_o his_o fruit_n that_o be_v his_o child_n partake_v of_o the_o same_o with_o he_o and_o so_o fare_v as_o he_o do_v only_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o grace_n or_o state_n in_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o same_o and_o so_o by_o the_o father_n say_v the_o child_n share_v together_o with_o he_o in_o that_o grace_n which_o his_o faith_n instate_v he_o in_o which_o be_v salvation_n itself_o 2._o this_o doctrine_n take_v away_o the_o be_v of_o original_a sin_n for_o here_o they_o be_v all_o holy_a and_o partaker_n of_o grace_n until_o they_o commit_v some_o actual_a sin_n which_o deny_v any_o original_a sin_n for_o that_o will_v make_v they_o unholy_a though_o they_o never_o commit_v actual_a sin_n in_o their_o own_o person_n 3._o it_o lay_v a_o ground_n of_o fall_v out_o of_o a_o estate_n of_o grace_n for_o by_o this_o doctrine_n esau_n and_o ishmael_n and_o all_o believer_n child_n be_v holy_a and_o partaker_n of_o the_o same_o grace_n with_o their_o parent_n until_o they_o commit_v sin_n as_o esau_n and_o ishmael_n do_v and_o then_o to_o fall_v from_o the_o same_o as_o they_o do_v and_o last_o this_o be_v false_a doctrine_n for_o both_o esau_n and_o ishmael_n be_v exclude_v from_o be_v subject_n of_o god_n save_v grace_n before_o they_o commit_v actual_a sin_n as_o gen._n 25.23_o
