some_o strength_n in_o this_o consequence_n but_o that_o we_o make_v not_o all_o the_o reason_n for_o the_o scruple_n be_v in_o the_o corinthian_n whether_o notwithstanding_o their_o lawful_a marriage_n they_o may_v lawful_o live_v together_o yes_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o unbeliever_n in_o the_o use_n of_o marriage_n for_o so_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believer_n else_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o marriage_n be_v the_o groundwork_n which_o satisfy_v not_o their_o conscience_n for_o so_o be_v they_o ezra_n 9_o &_o 10._o yet_o be_v the_o holy_a seed_n pollute_v but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o unbeliever_n be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believer_n etc._n etc._n so_o then_o the_o party_n that_o may_v lawful_o live_v together_o on_o this_o ground_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v man_n and_o wife_n and_o his_o major_a proposition_n must_v be_v that_o man_n and_o wife_n may_v lawful_o dwell_v together_o whereof_o one_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o other_o and_o so_o his_o fornicator_n will_v be_v exclude_v not_o conclude_v he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o insert_v be_v husband_n and_o wife_n since_o the_o sanctification_n be_v not_o ascribe_v by_o he_o to_o the_o relation_n between_o they_o but_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o one_o but_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v no_o good_a ground_n for_o though_o the_o marriage_n be_v no_o cause_n of_o this_o sanctification_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o ground_n suppose_v to_o make_v the_o apostle_n resolution_n true_a and_o on_o that_o ground_n it_o be_v make_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n require_v to_o satisfy_v spiritual_a conscience_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o second_o that_o it_o be_v holy_a to_o we_o the_o former_a be_v common_a to_o heathen_n and_o christian_n in_o moral_a thing_n the_o last_o be_v the_o peculiar_a of_o believer_n if_o either_o be_v want_v conscience_n be_v defile_v and_o will_v be_v disquiet_v now_o the_o sanctification_n here_o to_o quiet_v their_o conscience_n be_v a_o addition_n to_o the_o law_n of_o marriage_n common_a with_o they_o to_o heathen_n and_o so_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o
