rather_o defer_v the_o reprehension_n also_o of_o this_o vice_n unto_o a_o other_o place_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n unto_o the_o 14._o chapter_n but_o may_v any_o man_n that_o shall_v consider_v the_o peyse_v of_o s._n paul_n word_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o he_o think_v this_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o this_o question_n for_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n speak_v this_o as_o well_o of_o man_n that_o have_v their_o head_n cover_v as_o of_o woman_n that_o have_v their_o head_n uncover_v and_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n speak_v it_o as_o well_o of_o prayer_n as_o of_o prophesy_v if_o therefore_o he_o approve_v it_o in_o the_o man_n and_o approve_v it_o in_o the_o prayer_n cover_v why_o approove_v he_o it_o not_o likewise_o in_o the_o one_o so_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o and_o why_o may_v we_o not_o safe_o conclude_v he_o improove_v that_o a_o woman_n shall_v prophesy_v bareheaded_a therefore_o if_o she_o prophesy_v not_o bareheaded_a but_o cover_v on_o her_o head_n he_o do_v not_o improove_v it_o as_o well_o as_o we_o may_v say_v he_o improove_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v prophesy_v with_o his_o head_n cover_v therefore_o if_o a_o man_n prophecy_n with_o his_o head_n uncover_v he_o improove_v it_o not_o or_o as_o well_o as_o we_o may_v say_v of_o the_o other_o action_n that_o in_o both_o of_o they_o he_o join_v with_o prophesy_v he_o improove_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v pray_v cover_v or_o a_o woman_n bareheaded_a therefore_o if_o a_o man_n pray_v uncover_v or_o a_o woman_n with_o her_o head_n cover_v he_o improove_v it_o not_o and_o so_o of_o consequence_n what_o he_o improove_v not_o that_o he_o approove_v if_o s._n paul_n simple_o do_v improove_v and_o by_o no_o manner_n of_o mean_n permit_v woman_n to_o make_v public_a

against_o the_o man_n because_o the_o man_n be_v not_o in_o other_o place_n forbid_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n as_o be_v the_o woman_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o

not_o only_o to_o shake_v off_o all_o these_o former_a example_n but_o to_o call_v the_o matter_n from_o public_a teach_n into_o a_o further_a and_o more_o dangerous_a question_n both_o of_o our_o
