as_o the_o first_o woman_n be_v seven_o such_o woman_n as_o transgress_v the_o law_n and_o not_o come_v to_o be_v under_o grace_n as_o say_v paul_n they_o be_v to_o be_v under_o obedience_n as_o also_o say_v the_o law_n so_o read_v the_o word_n go_v before_o and_o behind_o in_o both_o place_n and_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o a_o seven_o fold_v sort_n of_o woman_n be_v not_o permit_v by_o paul_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n and_o as_o be_v say_v no_o doubt_n there_o be_v of_o all_o these_o sort_n of_o woman_n among_o they_o of_o corinth_n and_o ephesus_n who_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o speak_v who_o have_v need_n of_o these_o instruction_n for_o common_o such_o particular_a instruction_n be_v not_o give_v concern_v such_o thing_n where_o there_o be_v not_o need_n or_o where_o none_o be_v guilty_a but_o what_o if_o paul_n have_v say_v so_o concern_v all_o the_o woman_n at_o corinth_n and_o ephesus_n where_o timothy_n at_o this_o time_n be_v when_o he_o write_v to_o he_o concern_v woman_n that_o he_o do_v not_o permit_v they_o to_o speak_v will_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o no_o woman_n be_v to_o speak_v in_o any_o case_n in_o the_o church_n i_o will_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o one_o of_o your_o school_n rule_n which_o be_v this_o a_o particularibus_fw-la ad_fw-la universale_fw-la non_fw-la val●t_fw-la consequentia_fw-la i._n e._n from_o particular_n unto_o universal_a the_o consequence_n be_v not_o valid_a therefore_o though_o it_o have_v not_o be_v permit_v either_o unto_o some_o or_o all_o of_o these_o two_o particular_a church_n of_o corinth_n or_o ephesus_n to_o speak_v because_o they_o may_v at_o that_o time_n be_v but_o young_a not_o have_v the_o requisite_a qualification_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o universal_o all_o woman_n every_o where_o else_o ought_v not_o to_o speak_v yea_o these_o call_a presbyterian_o may_v remember_v how_o they_o have_v both_o allow_v and_o countenance_v woman_n both_o to_o pray_v and_o speak_v of_o their_o experience_n in_o their_o private_a meeting_n and_o yet_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o their_o private_a meeting_n be_v a_o church_n for_o indeed_o a_o church_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a word_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o convention_n or_o gather_v of_o the_o people_n whether_o few_o or_o many_o so_o that_o three_o six_o or_o twelve_o be_v as_o real_o a_o church_n as_o 300_o 600_o or_o 1200._o and_o further_o let_v we_o once_o more_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o do_v not_o signify_v a_o absolute_a forbid_v of_o woman_n in_o any_o case_n to_o speak_v teach_v or_o preach_v in_o the_o church_n i_o permit_v or_o suffer_v not_o a_o woman_n say_v he_o to_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n but_o if_o they_o will_v learn_v any_o thing_n let_v they_o ask_v their_o ●_z at_o home_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o which_o i_o be_o to_o remember_v you_o that_o even_o according_a unto_o paul_n own_o word_n there_o be_v in_o that_o day_n a_o twofold_a manner_n of_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n one_o by_o commandment_n another_o by_o permission_n and_o this_o distinction_n paul_n himself_o use_v write_v unto_o the_o corinthian_n when_o he_o say_v as_o touch_v some_o particular_a thing_n 1_o cor._n 7.6_o but_o i_o speak_v this_o by_o permission_n say_v he_o and_o not_o of_o commandment_n also_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n he_o write_v thus_o i_o say_v not_o the_o lord_n now_o this_o sort_n of_o speak_v be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n in_o two_o particular_a case_n 1._o in_o the_o propound_v or_o ask_v of_o a_o question_n for_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n some_o who_o ask_v question_n and_o some_o who_o answer_v the_o unlearned_a ask_v and_o the_o learned_a answer_v which_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a way_n of_o catechise_n 2._o this_o sort_n of_o speak_v to_o wit_n by_o permission_n be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n in_o matter_n of_o advice_n and_o counsel_n relate_v to_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o church_n where_o man_n according_a to_o the_o wisdom_n give_v they_o of_o god_n find_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n present_a with_o they_o enlighten_v they_o and_o direct_v they_o may_v speak_v their_o mind_n in_o case_n by_o way_n of_o counsel_n and_o advice_n as_o see_v the_o expediency_n and_o use_n of_o it_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o enjoin_v it_o as_o a_o command_n and_o paul_n himself_o use_v this_o same_o distinction_n destinguish_v betwixt_o thing_n lawful_a and_o thing_n expedient_a so_o that_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v lawful_a which_o be_v not_o expedient_a and_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v both_o lawful_a and_o expedient_a and_o yet_o not_o command_v of_o god_n and_o a_o man_n as_o immediate_o teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o heart_n may_v see_v both_o the_o lawfulness_n and_o expediency_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o may_v speak_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n move_v he_o in_o the_o church_n concern_v both_o the_o lawfulness_n and_o expediency_n of_o that_o thing_n and_o yet_o he_o may_v say_v i_o speak_v not_o this_o by_o commandment_n as_o if_o what_o he_o say_v be_v a_o commandment_n unto_o they_o yea_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v command_v and_o move_v he_o to_o declare_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n before_o they_o be_v not_o a_o command_n but_o a_o expedient_a thing_n and_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v at_o that_o time_n now_o in_o these_o two_o case_n of_o speak_v by_o permission_n in_o the_o church_n as_o first_o in_o that_o of_o ask_v question_n and_o second_o in_o that_o of_o give_v advice_n or_o cousel_n simple_o by_o a_o permission_n if_o they_o will_v contend_v that_o woman_n ought_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n all_o that_o they_o can_v pretend_v with_o any_o show_n or_o colour_n of_o reason_n at_o most_o be_v that_o woman_n be_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n by_o permission_n if_o they_o speak_v they_o be_v not_o to_o do_v it_o by_o permission_n but_o by_o commandment_n whereas_o it_o be_v permit_v unto_o man_n at_o time_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n by_o permission_n when_o not_o by_o commandment_n a_o unlearned_a man_n may_v be_v permit_v to_o ask_v a_o question_n in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o a_o woman_n nor_o be_v it_o needful_a for_o she_o may_v ask_v her_o husband_n at_o home_n but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n command_v or_o move_v a_o godly_a and_o spiritual_o learned_a woman_n to_o speak_v in_o this_o case_n she_o be_v the_o lord_n more_o than_o her_o husband_n and_o she_o be_v to_o speak_v yea_o though_o the_o husband_n shall_v forbid_v she_o for_o she_o ought_v rather_o to_o obey_v god_n than_o man._n and_o in_o christ_n jesus_n there_o be_v neither_o male_a nor_o female_a but_o all_o be_v one_o in_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v so_o both_o these_o case_n be_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o freedom_n or_o permission_n not_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o necessity_n or_o command_n therefore_o though_o woman_n may_v not_o speak_v by_o permission_n which_o man_n may_v do_v yet_o they_o may_v speak_v by_o command_n as_o when_o the_o lord_n command_v or_o move_v they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o that_o woman_n speak_v in_o the_o church_n be_v most_o evident_a from_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o act_n which_o be_v a_o very_a solemn_a time_n and_o also_o a_o very_a solemn_a convention_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o act_v 1.14_o that_o among_o the_o apostle_n mary_n with_o other_o woman_n be_v present_a and_o it_o be_v say_v act_v 2.4_o and_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o begin_v to_o speak_v with_o other_o tongue_n as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n so_o here_o the_o woman_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o speak_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v for_o it_o be_v say_v so_o of_o they_o all_o universal_o and_o it_o appear_v further_o that_o the_o woman_n speak_v in_o this_o solemn_a assembly_n from_o the_o apology_n of_o peter_n which_o he_o make_v in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o woman_n prophesy_v or_o speak_v out_o of_o joels_n prophecy_n where_o it_o be_v prophesy_v by_o joel_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n both_o male_a and_o female_a son_n and_o daughter_n man_n servant_n and_o maid-servant_n and_o they_o shall_v prophecy_n and_o so_o that_o prophecy_n be_v eminent_o fulfil_v at_o that_o time_n as_o at_o other_o time_n afterward_o and_o also_o before_o this_o time_n the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o woman_n to_o witness_v speak_v or_o declare_v and_o that_o unto_o the_o eleven_o apostle_n that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a luke_n 24.9_o 10._o and_o be_v not_o this_o convention_n a_o church_n and_o do_v not_o the_o lord_n after_o his_o resurrection_n first_o of_o all_o appear_v unto_o a_o woman_n to_o wit_n marry_o magdalene_n and_o do_v not_o he_o command_v she_o to_o speak_v unto_o the_o apostle_n and_o instruct_v they_o concern_v his_o resurrection_n go_v say_v he_o unto_o my_o brethren_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o ascend_v to_o my_o father_n and_o your_o father_n and_o to_o my_o god_n and_o your_o god_n yea_o and_o not_o only_o the_o scripture_n but_o also_o the_o church_n history_n tell_v we_o of_o woman_n who_o teach_v and_o instruct_v man_n as_o particular_o that_o woman_n who_o convert_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o iberian_o unto_o the_o christian_a faith_n as_o eusebius_n relate_v finis_fw-la
therefore_o inward_o teach_v by_o he_o and_o tell_v all_o these_o thing_n christ_n jesus_n the_o word_n the_o life_n the_o light_n in_o her_o heart_n tell_v she_o as_o he_o well_o can_v even_o in_o a_o moment_n or_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n bring_v all_o thing_n before_o she_o and_o tell_v she_o all_o thing_n in_o her_o whole_a life_n and_o certain_o this_o be_v it_o that_o make_v she_o to_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o prophet_n but_o more_o than_o a_o prophet_n even_o the_o true_a messiah_n or_o christ._n he_o who_o have_v tell_v i_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o do_v this_o must_v be_v christ_n this_o can_v but_o be_v more_o than_o any_o of_o the_o prophet_n who_o tell_v i_o some_o thing_n but_o no_o prophet_n can_v tell_v i_o all_o but_o christ_n only_o who_o be_v the_o

indeed_o we_o read_v not_o of_o any_o outward_a call_v she_o have_v from_o christ_n but_o certain_o he_o who_o teach_v she_o inward_o call_v she_o also_o inward_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o so_o powerful_a be_v her_o inward_a call_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o she_o that_o it_o cause_v she_o to_o make_v haste_n she_o tarry_v not_o to_o carry_v home_o her_o
