And by what we say, it appears, it is not a racking of the Scripture o maintain a private Opinion; and tho the word [holy] refers here to what we affirm with others, yet the Apostle speaks truly; tho it is granted the Children of Heathens born in lawful Wedlock, are no more Bastards than the Children of Christians For if the Marriage were made void, it would render their Children to be unclean, or base born. And what tho the Greek word does signify in so many places, as Mr. Burkitt saith, spiritual Sanctification and Separation to God; yet show us, say I, where it signifies External, Relative, Federal Holiness in the New Testament: yet as one observes, the word is not bound up to that sense as he seems to intimate; for [Greek or Hebrew] is used for Castimoni•m ser••, as Stephanus in his Thesaurus observes out of Demosthenes, [Greek or Hebrew], where a Priest of Bacchus speaks thus, [Greek or Hebrew], I am holy and pure from the Company of Man: and the words [Greek or Hebrew], chaste, to be chaste, ⟨p. 121⟩to make chaste, Chastity, coming from the same Root with [Greek or Hebrew] holy, whether [Greek or Hebrew] to reverence, or [Greek or Hebrew] to admire, as Grammarians conceive, are used for Holiness very frequently, both in Scripture and in all sorts of Greek Writers: So that what he says as to the Signification of the word [Greek or Hebrew] holy, that it cannot be taken for [legitimate] is fully cleared, and we justified from the Pedo-baptists unjust Accusation, viz. that we wrested the word to favour our private Opinion.

What is the difference between holy and sanctified?
