i_o have_v recite_v to_o geve_v the_o world_n to_o understand_v that_o the_o reign_n empire_n and_o authority_n of_o woman_n have_v no_o ground_n within_o god_n scripture_n yea_o that_o realm_n or_o

nether_a yet_o the_o felicity_n that_o in_o this_o earth_n may_v hereof_o ensue_v make_v that_o thing_n lawful_a which_o he_o by_o his_o word_n hat_n manifest_o condemn_v for_o if_o the_o

one_o then_o have_v approve_v the_o other_o and_o yet_o i_o think_v that_o no_o man_n of_o sound_n judgement_n will_v therefore_o justify_v and_o defend_v idolatry_n no_o more_o oght_v any_o man_n to_o maintain_v this_o odious_a empire_n of_o woman_n although_o that_o it_o be_v approve_v of_o all_o man_n by_o their_o law_n for_o the_o same_o god_n that_o in_o plain_a word_n forbid_v idolatry_n do_v also_o forbid_v the_o authority_n of_o woman_n over_o man_n as_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n before_o rehearse_v do_v plain_o teach_v us._n and_o therefore_o whether_o woman_n be_v depose_v from_o that_o unjust_a authority_n have_v they_o never_o usurp_v it_o so_o long_o or_o if_o all_o such_o honour_n be_v deny_v unto_o they_o authority_n i_o fear_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v nether_a defraud_v of_o right_a nor_o inheritance_n for_o to_o woman_n can_v that_o honour_n never_o be_v due_a nor_o lawful_a much_o less_o inheritance_n which_o god_n have_v so_o manifest_o deny_v unto_o they_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o the_o subtle_a wit_n of_o carnal_a man_n which_o can_v never_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n simple_a precept_n to_o maintain_v this_o monstruous_a empire_n have_v yet_o two_o vain_a shift_n first_o they_o allege_v that_o albeit_o woman_n obiecteon_n may_v not_o absolute_o reign_v by_o then selue_o because_o they_o may_v neither_o fit_v in_o iud_fw-la gement_fw-la neither_o pronounce_v sentence_n neither_o execute_v any_o public_a office_n yet_o may_v they_o do_v all_o such_o thing_n by_o their_o lieutenant_n deputy_n and_o judge_n substitute_n secondarilie_o say_v they_o a_o woman_n bear_v to_o rule_v over_o any_o realm_n may_v choose_v she_o a_o husband_n and_o to_o he_o she_o may_v transfer_v and_o geve_v her_o authority_n and_o right_n to_o both_o i_o answer_v in_o few_o word_n first_o that_o from_o a_o corrupt_a and_o venomed_a fountein_v can_v spring_v no_o wholesome_a water_n secondarilie_o that_o no_o person_n have_v power_n to_o geve_v the_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o justly_o appertein_a officer_n to_o themselves_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o woman_n be_v a_o corrupt_a fountein_v and_o therefore_o from_o she_o can_v never_o spring_v any_o lauful_a officer_n she_o be_v not_o bear_v to_o rule_v over_o man_n and_o therefore_o she_o can_v apointe_v none_o by_o her_o gift_n nor_o by_o her_o power_n which_o she_o have_v not_o to_o the_o place_n of_o a_o lawful_a magistrate_n heed_n and_o therefore_o who_o socuer_v receive_v of_o a_o woman_n office_n or_o authority_n be_v adulterous_a and_o bastard_n officer_n before_o god_n this_o may_v appear_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o affirmation_n but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v as_o indifferent_a and_o equal_a in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n as_o that_o we_o can_v be_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n the_o reason_n shall_v sudden_o appear_v the_o case_n suppose_v that_o a_o tyramne_v by_o conspiracy_n usurp_v the_o royal_a seat_n and_o dignity_n of_o a_o king_n and_o in_o the_o same_o do_v so_o establish_v himself_o that_o he_o appoint_v officer_n and_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v for_o a_o time_n and_o in_o this_o mean_a time_n the_o native_a king_n make_v strait_a inhibition_n to_o all_o his_o subject_n that_o none_o shall_v adhere_v to_o this_o traitor_n nether_a yet_o receive_v any_o dignity_n of_o he_o yet_o never_o the_o less_o they_o will_v honour_v the_o same_o traitor_n as_o king_n and_o become_v his_o officer_n in_o all_o affair_n of_o the_o realm_n if_o after_o the_o native_a prince_n do_v recover_v his_o just_a honour_n and_o possession_n shall_v he_o repute_v or_o esteem_v any_o man_n of_o the_o traitor_n apointement_n for_o a_o lawful_a magistrate_n or_o for_o his_o friend_n and_o true_a subject_n or_o shall_v he_o not_o rather_o with_o one_o sentence_n condenne_v the_o head_n with_o the_o membre_n and_o if_o so_o he_o shall_v do_v who_o be_v able_a to_o accuse_v he_o of_o rigour_n much_o less_o to_o condemn_v his_o sentence_n of_o injustice_n and_o dare_v we_o deny_v the_o same_o power_n to_o god_n in_o the_o like_a case_n for_o that_o woman_n reign_v above_o man_n she_o have_v obtain_v it_o by_o treason_n and_o conspiracy_n commit_v against_o god_n how_o can_v it_o be_v then_o that_o she_o be_v criminal_a and_o guilty_a of_o treason_n against_o god_n commit_v can_v apointe_v any_o officer_n please_v in_o his_o sight_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a wherefore_o let_v man_n that_o receive_v of_o woman_n authority_n honour_n or_o office_n be_v most_o god_n assure_o persuade_v that_o in_o so_o maintain_v that_o usurp_a power_n they_o declare_v themselves_o enemy_n to_o god_n if_o any_o think_v that_o because_o the_o realm_n and_o estate_n thereof_o have_v give_v their_o consente_n to_o a_o woman_n and_o have_v establish_v she_o and_o her_o authority_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o acceptable_a before_o god_n let_v the_o same_o man_n remember_v what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n can_v not_o approve_v the_o do_n nor_o consent_n of_o any_o multitude_n conclude_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o word_n and_o

they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o consume_a fire_n that_o behalf_n be_v they_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o regiment_n of_o a_o woman_n be_v a_o
