woman_n which_o paul_n permit_v not_o to_o speak_v the_o flesh_n for_o say_v they_o if_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o flesh_n then_o who_o be_v the_o flesh_n husband_n now_o let_v they_o hear_v bernard_n

that_o you_o not_o only_o permit_v but_o command_v yea_o and_o force_v woman_n and_o that_o of_o the_o worst_a sort_n to_o wit_n whore_n and_o adulterous_a woman_n and_o who_o have_v commit_v

the_o place_n wherein_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o stand_v be_v not_o much_o unlike_a to_o your_o pulpit_n but_o that_o it_o be_v large_a that_o it_o may_v hold_v three_o or_o four_o and_o i_o myself_o as_o many_o with_o i_o have_v see_v it_o fill_v with_o as_o many_o as_o it_o can_v well_o hold_v and_o these_o unhonest_a woman_n be_v command_v to_o speak_v public_o in_o the_o church_n yea_o the_o preacher_n after_o he_o himself_o have_v make_v a_o end_n call_v they_o by_o their_o particular_a name_n one_o by_o one_o and_o bid_v they_o speak_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o so_o they_o must_v all_o speak_v one_o by_o one_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o all_o and_o those_o who_o be_v most_o impudent_a and_o least_o sensible_a either_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o their_o shame_n will_v ready_o speak_v most_o but_o in_o great_a hypocrisy_n and_o deceit_n for_o you_o yourselves_o know_v that_o a_o true_a penitent_n be_v rare_o to_o be_v find_v among_o they_o if_o you_o say_v this_o be_v not_o preach_v or_o teach_v but_o only_o a_o confess_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o ask_v god_n mercy_n and_o the_o like_a i_o answer_v be_v not_o confess_v their_o sin_n speak_v and_o ask_v mercy_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o congregation_n may_v hear_v be_v not_o this_o speak_n now_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 14.34_o let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v so_o the_o apostle_n use_v this_o general_a word_n to_o speak_v and_o yet_o sure_o confess_v of_o sin_n and_o pray_v for_o forgiveness_n so_o that_o the_o congregation_n may_v hear_v be_v speak_v yet_o it_o be_v permit_v unto_o these_o whorish_a and_o dishonest_a woman_n at_o that_o time_n to_o exhort_v the_o people_n and_o warn_v they_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o the_o like_a word_n and_o this_o i●_n a_o sort_n of_o teach_v and_o i_o myself_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o they_o who_o have_v learn_v the_o knack_n of_o it_o more_o than_o other_o speak_v by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n and_o instruction_n that_o she_o seem_v to_o speak_v almost_o as_o well_o and_o to_o as_o good_a purpose_n as_o the_o preacher_n himself_o now_o let_v all_o sober_a and_o impartial_a people_n judge_v in_o this_o case_n betwixt_o those_o man_n and_o we_o they_o not_o only_o permit_v but_o command_v dishonest_a woman_n who_o have_v be_v whore_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n whereas_o we_o command_v no_o woman_n at_o all_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n but_o this_o we_o say_v if_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n move_v or_o command_v a_o godly_a sober_a religious_a woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n we_o be_v not_o to_o forbid_v she_o yea_o we_o be_v to_o hear_v she_o and_o we_o may_v be_v both_o edify_v and_o refresh_v by_o her_o testimony_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o speak_v unto_o we_o in_o she_o and_o by_o she_o yea_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o forbid_v all_o woman_n in_o all_o case_n to_o to_o speak_v be_v plain_a for_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 11._o v._n 5._o he_o show_v how_o the_o woman_n be_v to_o be_v cover_v that_o
