marriage_n and_o so_o esteem_v by_o the_o apostle_n why_o do_v he_o not_o direct_v they_o to_o be_v marry_v anew_o this_o he_o will_v have_v do_v if_o infidel_n in_o the_o matrimonial_a state_n live_v in_o fornication_n i_o may_v ask_v yet_o further_o where_o the_o word_n holy_a be_v ever_o use_v to_o signify_v legitimacy_n of_o child_n and_o if_o you_o serious_o consider_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n you_o will_v find_v it_o be_v this_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o the_o heathen_n it_o frequent_o happen_v that_o sometime_o a_o heathen_a wife_n be_v convert_v and_o not_o the_o husband_n and_o sometime_o on_o the_o contrary_n now_o in_o this_o case_n the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o marriage_n be_v lawful_a but_o whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v continue_v in_o because_o if_o it_o be_v the_o convert_a party_n be_v to_o live_v in_o society_n with_o a_o idolater_n this_o may_v seem_v a_o difficult_a case_n and_o its_o rise_n from_o what_o we_o read_v in_o ezra_n where_o the_o reform_a israelite_n put_v away_o their_o strange_a wife_n but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n in_o these_o two_o case_n in_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v of_o another_o religion_n when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n and_o express_o against_o god_n command_n take_v idolatrous_a wife_n here_o both_o party_n when_o they_o marry_v be_v idolater_n alike_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n determine_v their_o marriage_n be_v lawful_a before_o they_o may_v still_o continue_v in_o that_o state_n though_o but_o one_o party_n be_v convert_v if_o both_o be_v willing_a in_o this_o case_n the_o apostle_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o marriage_n be_v lawful_a and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o there_o have_v be_v no_o room_n for_o so_o difficult_a a_o question_n and_o all_o may_v have_v be_v answer_v with_o this_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marriage_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v at_o liberty_n once_o again_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o suppose_v among_o christian_n both_o husband_n and_o wife_n be_v unbeliever_n be_v their_o child_n bastard_n and_o do_v they_o live_v in_o fornication_n till_o one_o at_o least_o be_v convert_v and_o

yet_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o child_n seem_v not_o to_o be_v real_a sanctification_n because_o the_o believer_n wife_n or_o husband_n be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v paed._n nor_o do_v we_o say_v it_o be_v but_o the_o text_n evident_o show_v all_o we_o seek_v for_o viz_o that_o the_o child_n in_o this_o case_n be_v not_o reckon_v as_o the_o child_n of_o infidel_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o
