To return therefore to the point, from whence your objection diverted me, it still remaineth good, that the holiness of children spoken of 1 Cor. 7.14. doth not proceed from the holy Ordinance of marriage, but from the holy Covenant of grace.
To returne therefore to the point, from whence your objection diverted mee, it still remaineth good, that the holinesse of children spoken of 1 Cor. 7.14. doth not proceed from the holy Ordinance of marriage, but from the holy Covenant of grace.
Which may further be confirmed from the very word of the Text. For the Apostle deriveth that holiness of Infants, not from the holy Ordinance of marriage, but from the faith of the believing Parent whereby both the unbelieving yoke-follow is sanctified to the believer, and the children also of the believer are holy.

For the Apostle deriveth that holinesse of Infants, not from the holy Ordinance of marriage, but from the faith of the beleeving Parent whereby both the unbeleeving yoak-follow is sanctified to the beleever, and the children also of the beleever are holy.

That is to say, the believer hath a sanctified use of Cohabitation and Communion with them both. For to the pure all things are pure, but to the unbeliever nothing is pure.
