A86182	A looking-glasse for women, or, A spie for pride: shewing the unlawfulnesse of any outward adorning of any attire of haire, either in laying forth the haire, or in crisping of the haire, or in broidered haire in all women, but especially in godly women, declared fully by the Scripture. Also those Scriptures and carnall objections answered which are seemingly made for it.	T. H.	1644 (1644)	Wing H139; Thomason E2_18; ESTC R3679	10,568	16

be_v that_o you_o shall_v place_v any_o godliness_n in_o it_o but_o that_o it_o may_v show_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n that_o godliness_n be_v in_o you_o and_o true_o the_o apostle_n paul_n will_v

in_o the_o place_n we_o mention_v before_o esay_n 3._o 24._o as_o a_o judgement_n on_o those_o particular_o that_o have_v misuse_v their_o hair_n in_o these_o word_n instead_o of_o well_o set_v hair_n

be_v that_o fashion_n of_o hair_n that_o those_o woman_n do_v use_v in_o they_o day_n as_o you_o know_v in_o every_o age_n fashion_n do_v alter_v and_o this_o your_o lay_v forth_o the_o hair_n though_o it_o be_v the_o fashion_n now_o come_v under_o that_o and_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v reprove_v it_o as_o the_o other_o if_o it_o have_v be_v wear_v in_o they_o day_n as_o a_o immodest_a

of_o hair_n it_o will_v appear_v unto_o you_o to_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a first_o in_o regard_n of_o themselves_o this_o outward_a adorn_v of_o attire_n of_o hair_n will_v prove_v very_o inconvenient_a because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a instrument_n that_o satan_n have_v to_o set_v pride_n on_o work_n we_o common_o say_v a_o peacock_n be_v a_o proud_a creature_n and_o our_o

cause_n of_o the_o turn_n of_o his_o head_n and_o hence_o come_v that_o old_a phrase_n to_o be_v as_o proud_a as_o a_o peacock_n and_o true_o such_o godly_a woman_n that_o go_v in_o such_o a_o gaudy_a attire_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a instrument_n of_o stir_v up_o of_o pride_n in_o they_o because_o be_v be_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o eye_n and_o it_o will_v be_v most_o a_o end_n upon_o it_o second_o this_o attire_n of_o lay_v forth_o the_o hair_n it_o will_v be_v a_o dangerous_a inconvenience_n in_o regard_n of_o other_o two_o way_n either_o unto_o godly_a person_n or_o else_o unto_o wicked_a man_n first_o this_o kind_n of_o outward_a adorn_v will_v be_v a_o very_a inconvenient_a attire_n in_o regard_n of_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n and_o because_o it_o will_v be_v one_o great_a cause_n of_o their_o judge_n of_o they_o to_o be_v seem_v holy_a when_o as_o it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v be_v real_o holy_a and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o may_v cause_v the_o love_n that_o shall_v be_v among_o the_o saint_n to_o be_v abate_v and_o instead_o of_o love_n to_o grow_v strange_a unto_o each_o other_o second_o this_o kind_n of_o outward_a adorn_v of_o lay_v forth_o the_o hair_n be_v a_o very_a inconvenient_a attire_n in_o regard_n of_o wicked_a man_n to_o because_o it_o will_v rather_o provoke_v they_o to_o lust_n by_o behold_v of_o such_o then_o by_o see_v any_o thing_n in_o that_o attire_n to_o draw_v they_o unto_o any_o good_a now_o have_v discover_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o any_o outward_a adorn_v of_o attire_n of_o hair_n in_o all_o woman_n but_o especial_o among_o godly_a woman_n i_o now_o be_o come_v to_o answer_v these_o objection_n which_o be_v seem_o make_v for_o it_o the_o first_o objection_n be_v this_o oh_o but_o your_o ground_n work_n

the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n of_o peter_n 1.3.3_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o his_o meaning_n be_v clean_o contrary_a in_o that_o he_o say_v let_v not_o your_o

consequence_n that_o woman_n lay_v forth_o their_o hair_n be_v a_o sin_n you_o have_v bring_v never_o a_o place_n of_o scripture_n flat_a against_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v your_o own_o

if_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o as_o it_o give_v cause_n unto_o other_o godly_a person_n to_o be_v but_o pride_n itself_o and_o true_o in_o conclusion_n if_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o be_v find_v

to_o beat_v you_o from_o your_o plead_n for_o it_o and_o to_o lay_v it_o down_o as_o a_o thing_n both_o offensive_a unto_o god_n and_o man_n and_o though_o your_o knowledge_n may_v be_v very_o much_o
