smother_v one_o truth_n under_o another_o for_o albeit_o the_o woman_n of_o corinâth_n be_v become_v so_o mannish_a as_o that_o they_o will_v prophesiâ_z uncover_v and_o without_o their_o veil_n the_o

in_o their_o preâence_n it_o may_v be_v true_a in_o part_n and_o in_o some_o but_o what_o then_o do_v the_o apostle_n in_o these_o place_n only_o forbid_v their_o speak_v uncover_v and_o permit_v they_o to_o teach_v so_o it_o be_v veil_v or_o forbid_v he_o only_o their_o being_n as_o forward_o as_o their_o husband_n but_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n so_o it_o be_v with_o good_a manner_n and_o after_o their_o husbond_n which_o his_o answer_n insinuate_v or_o be_v it_o not_o evident_a to_o all_o that_o will_v not_o shut_v their_o eye_n that_o he_o simple_o and_o that_o severe_o inhibit_v they_o all_o speak_v whatsoever_o in_o this_o exercise_n be_v not_o the_o word_n plain_a enough_o let_v the_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o they_o to_o speak_v but_o to_o be_v under_o obedience_n as_o the_o law_n say_v and_o again_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o they_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o 1._o

be_v not_o goodââ_n must_v confess_v myself_o far_o to_o seek_v both_o in_o logiââ_n and_o divinity_n second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o prohibition_n of_o womââ_z prove_v the_o consequence_n which_o
