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

all_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n yea_o they_o will_v rather_o sink_v down_o present_o into_o hell_n then_o to_o leave_v one_o sin_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o walk_v according_a

every_o command_n to_o he_o in_o who_o they_o serve_v and_o do_v walk_v according_a to_o their_o own_o destruction_n it_o cause_v i_o to_o consider_v how_o that_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v need_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v leave_v we_o who_o rule_v in_o all_o his_o elect_n as_o their_o only_a king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n and_o because_o my_o love_n be_v so_o dear_a unto_o the_o saint_n that_o i_o will_v have_v they_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o his_o saint_n in_o his_o

the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o one_o great_a reason_n which_o make_v i_o wave_n into_o this_o work_n be_v because_o that_o i_o see_v many_o godly_a woman_n do_v now_o adays_o wear_v it_o yea_o those_o who_o we_o call_v minister_n wife_n who_o shall_v have_v give_v better_a example_n unto_o other_o woman_n beside_o many_o other_o godly_a woman_n of_o particular_a congregation_n who_o have_v give_v

it_o who_o may_v have_v write_v for_o more_o better_a than_o my_o weak_a capacity_n be_o able_a to_o understand_v consider_v likewise_o that_o any_o godly_a man_n or_o woman_n will_v not_o live_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n if_o that_o they_o know_v it_o upon_o these_o three_o consideration_n it_o move_v i_o to_o declare_v my_o mind_n touch_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o lay_v forth_o the_o hair_n in_o

he_o never_o present_v it_o in_o the_o same_o shape_n as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n but_o mask_n it_o over_o with_o some_o seem_a pretence_n or_o colour_n for_o it_o i_o can_v instance_n it_o divers_a way_n wherein_o he_o do_v it_o but_o because_o we_o be_v upon_o this_o subject_n only_o namely_o to_o prove_v its_o utter_o unlawful_a for_o any_o woman_n to_o go_v in_o any_o outward_a

when_o as_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o you_o be_v half_a for_o god_n and_o half_a for_o the_o world_n when_o as_o he_o shall_v see_v your_o speech_n and_o gesture_n be_v after_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o your_o attire_n and_o outward_a adorn_v to_o be_v after_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o glorious_a light_n of_o god_n which_o once_o if_o the_o lord_n

to_o shine_v in_o your_o outward_a adorn_v of_o attire_n of_o hair_n as_o in_o your_o speech_n and_o gesture_n not_o that_o my_o meaning_n

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 not_o have_v bid_v we_o fashion_v not_o ourselves_o according_o to_o the_o world_n if_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o he_o have_v not_o put_v a_o difference_n both_o between_o our_o speech_n

do_v use_v this_o outward_a adorn_v of_o lay_v forth_o the_o hair_n a_o man_n can_v hardly_o know_v they_o from_o the_o woman_n of_o the_o world_n nay_o and_o moreover_o to_o other_o godly_a

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

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
