to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o the_o authority_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o economical_a but_o a_o political_a a_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n not_o a_o authority_n in_o the_o family_n

it_o follow_v that_o the_o french_a law_n when_o they_o prohibit_v woman_n from_o usurp_a authority_n or_o wield_v the_o sceptre_n do_v allow_v it_o to_o all_o man_n or_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v

for_o ordination_n which_o also_o be_v necessary_a as_o have_v be_v argue_v may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o preach_v once_o and_o their_o preach_v tho_o spare_o be_v as_o clear_o though_o not_o so_o gross_o contrary_a to_o this_o prohibition_n as_o to_o preach_v constant_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n and_o not_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v which_o be_v here_o forbid_a the_o very_a work_n of_o public_a preach_n be_v here_o forbid_v they_o this_o i_o say_v to_o prevent_v a_o common_a evasion_n of_o our_o brethren_n that_o gift_a man_n may_v not_o and_o can_v preach_v in_o the_o same_o

the_o case_n of_o woman_n and_o say_v that_o they_o may_v do_v the_o work_n although_o they_o can_v do_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n i._n e._n with_o authority_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v so_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o silence_v i_o by_o say_v that_o the_o very_a act_n of_o preach_v be_v speak_v of_o as_o a_o act_n of_o authority_n and_o that_o may_v just_o silence_v they_o too_o the_o six_o
