a_o particular_a induction_n of_o those_o place_n wherein_o we_o read_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o apostle_n whereof_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o express_v some_o example_n 31_o 1._o cor._n 11._o the_o apostle_n ordain_v that_o woman_n shall_v pray_v in_o the_o church_n cover_v and_o man_n bareheaded_a first_o of_o all_o this_o be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o holy_a scripture_n second_o the_o end_n of_o this_o constitution_n be_v honesty_n the_o preservation_n of_o decency_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o outward_a worship_n may_v be_v perform_v with_o great_a honesty_n and_o comeliness_n again_o another_o end_n of_o that_o ceremony_n be_v that_o thereby_o every_o one_o may_v be_v admonish_v and_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o his_o own_o place_n and_o duty_n namely_o that_o the_o man_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o woman_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o her_o subjection_n to_o the_o man_n which_o thing_n be_v profitable_a to_o the_o internal_a worship_n 32_o in_o the_o same_o place_n the_o apostle_n set_v down_o a_o order_n for_o the_o due_a celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v meet_v and_o assemble_v together_o and_o tarry_v one_o for_o another_o first_o he_o show_v that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o
