one_o to_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o continue_v with_o the_o believer_n as_o a_o motive_n to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o allege_v that_o the_o unbelieving_a party_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o believe_a

contrary_n now_o i_o demand_v what_o that_o holiness_n be_v which_o s._n paul_n suppose_v to_o be_v the_o property_n of_o those_o who_o come_v from_o such_o a_o sanctify_a couple_n that_o be_v to_o

they_o say_v more_o than_o we_o desire_v or_o can_v with_o truth_n be_v affirm_v because_o though_o original_a sin_n be_v traduce_v from_o the_o parent_n yet_o inward_a holiness_n be_v not_o as_o be_v the_o product_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o his_o instrument_n baptism_n but_o if_o they_o do_v however_o attribute_v such_o a_o holiness_n to_o those_o child_n they_o say_v enough_o to_o evince_v that_o baptism_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v to_o they_o for_o who_o as_o s._n peter_n speak_v 10.47_o speak_v act_n 10.47_o upon_o another_o occasion_n can_v forbid_v the_o water_n of_o

external_a holiness_n can_v be_v imagine_v in_o those_o child_n but_o such_o by_o which_o they_o come_v to_o belong_v to_o god_n in_o a_o more_o peculiar_a manner_n than_o the_o child_n of_o other_o
