or_o which_o be_v of_o believe_a parent_n or_o in_o charity_n may_v be_v presume_v so_o to_o be_v to_o the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o bastard_n i_o say_v none_o will_v resolute_o affirm_v that_o christian_a bastard_n while_o they_o be_v infant_n be_v neither_o actual_a believer_n nor_o of_o believe_a parent_n nor_o may_v be_v presume_v so_o to_o be_v will_v they_o hold_v that_o in_o the_o

they_o the_o member_n of_o a_o harlot_n or_o will_v they_o hold_v that_o the_o act_n of_o whoredom_n do_v utter_o extinguish_v baptismal_a grace_n in_o the_o parent_n i_o think_v they_o will_v not_o i_o know_v they_o can_v no_o corporation_n do_v cast_v off_o their_o member_n from_o their_o enfranchisement_n before_o trial_n conviction_n and_o judgement_n much_o less_o will_v christ_n yet_o they_o say_v two_o thing_n in_o their_o own_o defence_n first_o that_o bastard_n believe_v not_o actual_o indeed_o it_o be_v too_o lofty_a to_o say_v that_o they_o believe_v as_o man_n of_o year_n who_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n but_o be_v it_o not_o very_o harsh_a to_o say_v they_o be_v infidel_n be_v they_o not_o member_n of_o a_o church_n in_o the_o outward_a covenant_n of_o christianity_n as_o well_o as_o other_o have_v they_o not_o read_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n in_o such_o or_o that_o christ_n speak_v of_o little_a one_o say_v they_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n 18.6_o it_o may_v be_v he_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o be_v admit_v already_o into_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n but_o may_v not_o they_o judge_v charitable_o of_o bastard_n in_o such_o a_o case_n see_v you_o see_v or_o may_v see_v in_o the_o issue_n bastard_n to_o live_v gracious_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n if_o they_o know_v none_o such_o yet_o i_o do_v bless_v be_v god_n second_o they_o say_v that_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n of_o bastard_n be_v unbeliever_n because_o they_o be_v unjust_a they_o work_v from_o the_o flesh_n 5.8_o they_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o they_o provide_v not_o for_o their_o own_o and_o thus_o they_o reason_n they_o that_o be_v unjust_a bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n shut_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o provide_v not_o for_o their_o own_o as_o they_o ought_v be_v unbeliever_n but_o father_n and_o mother_n of_o bastard_n be_v such_o therefore_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v two_o way_n first_o in_o general_a by_o use_v their_o own_o reason_n lay_v otherwise_o thus_o they_o that_o be_v unjust_a live_v in_o the_o flesh_n shut_v themselves_o out_o of_o heaven_n &_o proprovide_v not_o for_o their_o own_o be_v unbeliever_n but_o many_o christian_n parent_n of_o child_n lawful_o beget_v be_v such_o therefore_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n i_o confess_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n to_o be_v put_v here_o betwixt_o parent_n of_o lawful_o beget_v child_n &_o parent_n of_o bastard_n because_o those_o do_v it_o in_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o goodness_n and_o that_o by_o god_n ordinance_n if_o they_o do_v it_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o these_o do_v it_o in_o a_o act_n of_o impudence_n and_o injustice_n but_o if_o a_o act_n of_o injustice_n and_o uncharitableness_n do_v of_o itself_o make_v they_o unbeliever_n as_o they_o be_v such_o than_o it_o reach_v to_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o but_o there_o be_v no_o good_a religion_n bid_v we_o to_o think_v that_o a_o act_n of_o injustice_n in_o the_o parent_n shall_v put_v a_o child_n both_o into_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o neglect_n of_o a_o sacrament_n 18._o and_o into_o the_o state_n of_o punishment_n in_o be_v deprive_v of_o it_o when_o yet_o the_o child_n have_v not_o follow_v nor_o countenance_v the_o parent_n wickedness_n second_o i_o answer_v in_o particular_a to_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o to_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o that_o such_o wicked_a christian_n be_v not_o so_o unbeliever_n as_o to_o be_v quite_o unchristian_v and_o so_o to_o be_v deprive_v in_o themselves_o and_o their_o bastard_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_v of_o the_o covenant_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o unbeliever_n unbeliever_n in_o part_n part_n rnd_v unbeliever_n in_o whole_a unbeliever_n in_o part_n and_o in_o some_o particular_n when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o so_o receive_v of_o they_o as_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o some_o particular_a part_n of_o it_o as_o it_o ought_v of_o these_o there_o be_v to_o many_o among_o we_o and_o all_o christian_n church_n from_o hence_o proceed_v that_o they_o not_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o chastity_n be_v unchaste_a the_o word_n of_o justice_n be_v unjust_a and_o the_o word_n of_o care_n for_o child_n be_v careless_a and_o the_o like_a whole_a unbeliever_n in_o whole_a when_o christianity_n be_v dead_a in_o they_o at_o the_o root_n as_o when_o
member_n before_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o but_o they_o dream_v of_o other_o member_n who_o must_v be_v choose_v into_o their_o congregation_n for_o government_n object_n as_o those_o that_o have_v a_o full_a right_n from_o christ_n to_o give_v voice_n for_o ordination_n election_n excommunication_n absolution_n and_o the_o like_a as_o if_o all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n must_v be_v counselor_n if_o not_o king_n but_o where_o will_v they_o find_v in_o christ_n word_n that_o none_o be_v member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n sol._n but_o those_o that_o be_v admit_v member_n for_o government_n i_o can_v tell_v except_o they_o have_v a_o new_a testament_n not_o know_v to_o we_o it_o be_v true_a that_o peter_n call_v god_n people_n a_o choose_a generation_n object_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n a_o holy_a nation_n 2.9_o but_o i_o hope_v he_o do_v not_o write_v to_o any_o particular_a visible_a church_n but_o to_o the_o disperse_a saint_n in_o divers_a church_n 2._o that_o be_v elect_v according_a to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n the_o father_n none_o will_v deny_v these_o to_o be_v true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n where_o they_o live_v and_o if_o they_o do_v deny_v other_o who_o have_v not_o such_o high_a grace_n as_o these_o have_v to_o be_v member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n as_o well_o as_o they_o though_o notwithstanding_o their_o profession_n to_o be_v servant_n of_o christ_n they_o flatter_v with_o their_o mouth_n 21._o and_o lie_v with_o their_o tongue_n because_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o right_a with_o god_n neither_o be_v they_o steadfast_a in_o his_o covenant_n they_o must_v deny_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o scripture_n which_o must_v judge_v they_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n but_o say_v they_o how_o can_v the_o wicked_a be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n object_n see_v christ_n be_v not_o their_o head_n sol._n christ_n have_v tell_v no_o man_n thus_o for_o though_o he_o be_v not_o their_o head_n by_o infusion_n of_o save_v and_o sanctify_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o eternal_a life_n 11._o yet_o be_v he_o their_o head_n as_o they_o be_v his_o member_n by_o profess_a government_n a_o good_a husband_n be_v the_o head_n of_o a_o wicked_a wife_n and_o a_o good_a king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o wicked_a subject_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o wicked_a member_n to_o draw_v they_o to_o
