internal_a holiness_n can_v be_v ascribe_v to_o all_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n because_o we_o find_v by_o sad_a experience_n that_o many_o of_o they_o shameful_o apostatise_v from_o god_n and_o

well_o as_o of_o believer_n therefore_o this_o can_v be_v no_o distinguish_a mark_n as_o in_o this_o place_n 3._o the_o apostle_n argument_n will_v be_v weak_a and_o unconcluding_a if_o he_o shall_v only_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v lawful_a man_n and_o wife_n because_o their_o child_n be_v lawful_o beget_v the_o question_n propose_v to_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o suppose_v a_o believe_a wife_n marry_v to_o a_o unbeliever_n or_o e_fw-la contra_fw-la whether_o the_o believer_n shall_v dwell_v with_o the_o unbeliever_n or_o part_v one_o from_o another_o the_o apostle_n answer_v if_o the_o

holy_a because_o one_o parent_n be_v a_o believer_n therefore_o their_o child_n be_v peculiar_o relate_v to_o god_n and_o in_o covenant_n with_o he_o now_o if_o bare_a legitimacy_n be_v intend_v than_o the_o argument_n will_v run_v thus_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o question_n whether_o you_o be_v man_n and_o wife_n because_o your_o child_n be_v lawful_o beget_v can_v any_o believe_v any_o can_v question_v the_o one_o and_o yet_o grant_v the_o other_o 4._o this_o will_v not_o answer_v the_o corinthian_n scruple_n they_o do_v not_o question_n whether_o co-habiting_a with_o unbeliever_n expose_v they_o to_o fornication_n but_o whether_o it_o will_v expose_v they_o to_o irreligion_n or_o at_o least_o great_a temptation_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n how_o know_v thou_o o_o man_n but_o thou_o may_v save_v thy_o wife_n however_o your_o child_n be_v holy_a because_o one_o be_v a_o believer_n 3._o by_o holiness_n be_v mean_v relative_n or_o federal_n holiness_n that_o the_o

2._o peculiar_o interest_v in_o the_o church_n prayer_n we_o be_v bind_v indeed_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n but_o more_o peculiarly_a for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n gal_n 6.16_o 3._o have_v a_o
