the_o promise_n be_v also_o to_o those_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o viz._n the_o gentile_n even_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v antipaed_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v join_v to_o the_o latter_a sentence_n paed._n and_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a reason_n that_o limit_n it_o to_o the_o latter_a sentence_n because_o that_o though_o the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n be_v come_v upon_o the_o gentile_n gal._n 3.14_o that_o the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n may_v come_v on_o the_o gentile_n through_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o no_o gentile_a nation_n have_v such_o a_o promise_n but_o as_o convert_v and_o call_v to_o christianity_n and_o so_o become_a abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n they_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o same_o promise_n with_o the_o jew_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o scripture_n be_v plain_o this_o repent_v and_o be_v baptise_a o_fw-fr you_o jew_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o your_o seed_n as_o god_n speak_v to_o abraham_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o covenant_n that_o baptism_n seal_v to_o and_o your_o child_n have_v the_o same_o privilege_n of_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o yourselves_o as_o you_o know_v and_o the_o same_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o privilege_n be_v also_o to_o as_o many_o gentile_a nation_n as_o shall_v be_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n so_o yet_o they_o and_o their_o child_n may_v be_v baptise_a into_o covenant_n as_o well_o as_o they_o antipaed_n you_o have_v say_v enough_o of_o this_o scripture_n pray_v name_n another_o paed._n the_o next_o scripture_n i_o shall_v offer_v you_o to_o prove_v infant_n baptism_n that_o be_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o infant_n come_v into_o the_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n shall_v be_v 1_o cor._n 7.14_o for_o the_o unbelieve_a husband_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o wife_n and_o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o husband_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a antipaed_n i_o expect_v this_o but_o i_o wonder_v you_o shall_v urge_v it_o when_o you_o have_v be_v so_o often_o tell_v that_o the_o holiness_n there_o be_v a_o marriage_n holiness_n and_o the_o holiness_n of_o their_o child_n be_v but_o this_o that_o they_o be_v not_o bastard_n paed._n and_o i_o wonder_v more_o you_o shelter_n yourself_o under_o so_o pitiful_a a_o evasion_n but_o to_o answer_v you_o will_v not_o you_o grant_v in_o the_o general_n that_o whatever_o be_v the_o holiness_n here_o to_o be_v understand_v it_o be_v a_o privilege_n which_o child_n receive_v from_o their_o parent_n antipaed_n that_o can_v be_v deny_v paed._n then_o if_o i_o prove_v that_o this_o holiness_n be_v not_o legitimacy_n but_o a_o privilege_n of_o another_o nature_n and_o such_o as_o entitle_v they_o unto_o the_o covenant_n you_o will_v confess_v i_o prove_v what_o i_o produce_v this_o scripture_n for_o antipaed_n let_v i_o see_v the_o performance_n paed._n to_o remove_v your_o allegation_n that_o the_o child_n uncleanness_n be_v in_o this_o case_n bastardy_n and_o so_o intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n i_o ask_v you_o be_v not_o the_o law_n of_o marriage_n observe_v among_o the_o heathen_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o know_a thing_n that_o among_o they_o fornication_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o issue_n of_o such_o marriage_n some_o child_n be_v reckon_v bastard_n and_o other_o legitimate_a if_o you_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n you_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n who_o here_o say_v they_o be_v husband_n and_o wife_n before_o conversation_n and_o elsewhere_o mention_v fornication_n as_o a_o sin_n which_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o own_v as_o such_o and_o that_o incust_n be_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o fornication_n as_o be_v rare_o find_v among_o they_o if_o you_o grant_v this_o distinction_n of_o bastard_n and_o legitimate_a child_n be_v find_v among_o the_o heathen_a then_o be_v sure_a the_o apostle_n do_v not_o design_n to_o overthrow_v this_o difference_n and_o call_v all_o the_o child_n of_o heathen_n bastard_n but_o i_o ask_v you_o further_o if_o marriage_n of_o the_o heathen_n be_v not_o lawful_a 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 do_v faith_n make_v that_o marriage-society_n which_o be_v fornication_n before_o to_o become_v lawful_a and_o do_v it_o legitimate_a the_o child_n antipae_fw-la but_o if_o i_o grant_v all_o this_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 the_o covenant_n but_o be_v number_v among_o the_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n let_v it_o be_v observe_v the_o apostle_n give_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o advice_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o their_o conjugal_a estate_n the_o unbelieving_a party_n do_v not_o make_v their_o marriage-state_n unholy_a but_o the_o relation_n be_v so_o sanctified_a to_o a_o believer_n as_o other_o thing_n be_v for_o holy_a and_o lawful_a uses_n that_o child_n have_v the_o know_a privilege_n which_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_a believer_n have_v not_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n as_o unclean_a but_o to_o be_v accept_v into_o the_o covenant_n with_o the_o believe_a parent_n if_o you_o yet_o doubt_v whether_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n reason_v i_o pray_v you_o consider_v to_o what_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n shall_v have_v mention_v their_o child_n certain_o he_o intend_v to_o signify_v that_o the_o child_n have_v some_o privilege_n by_o their_o parent_n and_o if_o this_o privilege_n be_v not_o legitimacy_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o i_o think_v for_o shame_v you_o will_v urge_v it_o no_o more_o then_o there_o be_v no_o church_n privilege_n can_v be_v think_v of_o but_o that_o know_a privilege_n of_o child_n enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o as_o a_o new_a propose_a doctrine_n but_o as_o general_o know_v and_o true_o appliable_a in_o this_o case_n as_o well_o as_o other_o antipaed_n have_v you_o any_o more_o scripture_n to_o offer_v for_o proof_n that_o child_n enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n be_v a_o know_v and_o unquestionable_a truth_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n paed._n all_o these_o scripture_n that_o speak_v of_o the_o family_n privilege_n upon_o the_o master_n or_o mistress_n believe_v luke_n 19.9_o and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o this_o day_n be_v salvation_n come_v to_o this_o
