So [Greek or Hebrew] but [now] is a Particle of Reasoning used in the Assumption of Arguments, which shows it is the Assumption of the Apostle's Argument, and therefore it must be understood of Holiness opposite to the Uncleanness mentioned; but that being no other than Bastardy, the Holiness can be meant of no other than Legitimation. Nor is this any more an unlikely Sense, sith Bastards were reckoned among unclean Persons, Deut. 23. 2. and the Apostle's Expression is allusive to the Jewish Speaking and Estimation, and why it should be thought strange that Holy should signify Legitimation I know not, whenas Mal. 2. 5.
