Mr. Blake. Those that bring forth Children to God, have a right in the sight of God to be of his houshold, and to be taken into it: This is plain; especially to those that know the Law of servants in families, that all the Children in right were the Masters, and had their relation to him: But those that are short of Justifying faith, bring forth Children to God, Ezek. 16.20, 21.
