and_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n and_o consequent_o that_o some_o woman_n may_v preach_v which_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v companion_n and_o fellow-labourer_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v woman_n than_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v that_o all_o woman_n as_o woman_n only_o be_v not_o by_o he_o deny_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o apostle_n have_v female_a

in_o the_o act_n then_o say_v i_o with_o good_a reason_n woman_n as_o woman_n be_v not_o deny_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o the_o scripture_n
