Ch.39. of the i`ffite of Beleevers. 335 beleeving parent above the othe ;) Ergo it is not legitima- tion. The refult or fruit which followes from a beleevers faith is not legitimation : But the holineffe in the text is a re'uit of the faith of the beleeving yoke fellow ; The minor is evident, feeing faith is twice hinted at in the beleever. I know that Mailer Tonobes denies that the unbeleeviug husband, or wife is fanciified in the be- leeving ; It is (faith he) in the husband not in the beleeving hkf band, in the wife, not in the beleeving wife, that is not in the text. The marriage is between a beleever and an unbeleever, the unbeleever is fan tified whether husband or wife by their yoke - fellow, but not by their beleeving yoke - fellow ; the Reader that puts off his reafon may matter fuch denials. SECT. V. That the fanaification here T oken to is not of parents in ge- neral, but of one parent beleeving, and another un- beleeving in particular. 4flerTombes making it his bufneffe to Comment upon the Apoftles words, and from thence to evince his fenfe of ba- flardy and legitimation , puts the Apoilles argument into this forme, If the unbeleeviug husband were not fantl i fled by the wife, then were your children uncleane; Rut they are not uncleane, but holy; Ergo, the unbeleeving husband is fantifted by the Wife. And this fequell (he faies) were not true, if this propofition were not true ; All the children of thole parents where one is not fantli fled to the other,are uncleane, Examen. pag. 76. Now this is worth our confideration, feeing he continues to affert it not only in the Poll- fcript of his Apology, pag. 123. and in his Antidote, as we fhall hear, page 16. (if Lome notes deceive me not, having loft the book) but which is above all in his .ntipedabaptifine (which he intends to leave as his Caroms) he builds all upon this proportion, refutes interpretations, and arguments , hoc fuppo[sto, that this propofition is included. The title of his 20. Sediol is, That the propofition included in the confeq#ence of the. Apoflles argument, r Cor. 0**
