by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n command_v the_o woman_n to_o be_v cover_v when_o she_o pray_v or_o prophecy_n which_o cover_v vers_fw-la 10._o be_v call_v power_n on_o her_o head_n because_o it_o be_v to_o signify_v to_o all_o that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o meeting_n that_o though_o she_o have_v equal_a freedom_n with_o man_n to_o pray_v or_o prophecy_n yet_o nevertheless_o she_o still_o be_v to_o own_o and_o do_v own_o the_o man_n power_n over_o she_o in_o visible_a or_o temporal_a thing_n but_o the_o man_n pray_v or_o prophesy_v be_v to_o be_v uncover_v in_o testimony_n that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n in_o any_o creature_n above_o he_o and_o to_o answer_v all_o objection_n in_o ease_n this_o his_o epistle_n shall_v come_v where_o people_n do_v wear_v no_o cover_n on_o their_o

cut_v it_o off_o nor_o the_o man_n to_o be_v worm_n of_o a_o length_n like_o the_o woman_n for_o that_o will_v be_v a_o shame_n in_o nature_n vers_fw-la 14._o for_o it_o will_v signify_v he_o have_v lose_v his_o headship_n thus_o we_o may_v observe_v how_o zealous_a the_o apostle_n be_v in_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o write_v this_o to_o distinguish_v their_o sex_n for_o that_o be_v as_o plain_o manifest_v by_o their_o other_o garment_n in_o those_o day_n as_o well_o as_o we_o this_o headship_n of_o man_n over_o the_o woman_n be_v only_o in_o temporal_n hinder_v not_o their_o spiritual_a unity_n so_o the_o headship_n of_o god_n mention_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n take_v not_o away_o the_o unity_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o right_o divide_v this_o

also_o unless_o they_o will_v say_v man_n be_v head_n in_o some_o small_a private_a concern_v but_o in_o public_a and_o weighty_a matter_n the_o woman_n be_v to_o be_v his_o equal_a in_o power_n this_o render_v the_o apostle_n very_o weak_a in_o write_v so_o earnest_o for_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n which_o indeed_o require_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o but_o further_a if_o this_o objection_n be_v true_a than_o these_o gesture_n of_o cover_v and_o uncover_v the_o head_n before_o command_v shall_v only_o be_v use_v in_o private_a family_n prayer_n or_o prophecy_n where_o the_o headship_n thereby_o signify_v be_v only_o to_o be_v in_o force_n obj._n 2._o but_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o hint_v that_o woman_n may_v be_v with_o man_n in_o meeting_n of_o business_n provide_v they_o be_v

sit_v as_o useless_a spectator_n not_o dare_v to_o speak_v what_o may_v open_v in_o their_o understanding_n touch_v any_o thing_n among_o they_o but_o a_o little_a to_o explain_v these_o scripture_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n to_o suppose_v the_o apostle_n divert_v his_o mind_n from_o meeting_n of_o worship_n to_o meeting_n of_o business_n when_o he_o say_v let_v the_o woman_n be_v silent_a for_o in_o this_o 14_o chapter_n he_o write_v principal_o about_o prophecy_n recommend_v some_o circumstance_n necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v which_o he_o will_v have_v every_o man_n that_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o prophet_n or_o spiritual_a to_o own_o as_o god_n command_n vers_fw-la 37._o two_o scandal_n he_o labour_v to_o prevent_v one_a when_o any_o speak_v with_o tongue_n which_o he_o will_v not_o forbid_v though_o he_o commend_v prophesy_v in_o plain_a know_v language_n before_o it_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o interpreter_n ready_a or_o else_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v silent_a vers_n 28._o and_o the_o reason_n be_v in_o v._o 23._o because_o if_o a_o unlearned_a man_n or_o a_o vnbeliever_n shall_v come_v in_o he_o will_v say_v they_o be_v mad._n mark_v how_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o truth_n be_v honour_n that_o unbeliever_n mouth_n may_v not_o be_v open_v against_o it_o and_o two_o he_o command_v that_o woman_n shall_v then_o be_v silent_a that_o be_v when_o any_o speak_v with_o tongue_n above_o their_o understanding_n it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o ask_v question_n there_o but_o if_o they_o will_v learn_v say_v he_o that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o any_o thing_n there_o speak_v in_o a_o tongue_n unknown_a to_o they_o let_v

command_n by_o unbeliever_n if_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o and_o so_o that_o may_v occasion_v another_o scandal_n that_o christian_a woman_n do_v usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o men._n wherefore_o writing_n to_o timothy_n he_o require_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o woman_n there_o tell_v he_o that_o they_o be_v to_o learn_v in_o silence_n with_o all_o subjection_n or_o quietness_n and_o not_o to_o teach_v or_o speak_v in_o any_o such_o way_n as_o may_v look_v like_o usurp_a authority_n over_o the_o man_n either_o in_o the_o church_n or_o indeed_o in_o any_o other_o place_n for_o that_o will_v stumble_v even_o unbeliever_n they_o can_v not_o endure_v that_o and_o so_o he_o give_v two_o reason_n why_o man_n be_v to_o have_v this_o headship_n because_o adam_n be_v first_o form_v v._o 13._o second_o because_o adam_n be_v not_o deceive_v that_o be_v by_o the_o serpent_n but_o the_o woman_n be_v deceive_v be_v in_o the_o transgression_n v._o 14._o and_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o plain_a sense_n and_o substance_n of_o these_o two_o scripture_n compare_v together_o which_o be_v so_o often_o mis-applyed_n to_o wrong_v end_n and_o practice_n this_o day_n but_o now_o all_o this_o do_v not_o forbid_v a_o woman_n oppose_a a_o wrong_a spirit_n if_o it_o shall_v dare_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n woman_n or_o child_n as_o well_o as_o man_n in_o the_o move_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v do_v that_o nor_o do_v it_o forbid_v a_o woman_n pray_v or_o prophesy_v for_o than_o he_o have_v contradict_v what_o in_o chap._n 11._o of_o the_o same_o

truth_n press_v to_o that_o perfection_n in_o spirit_n he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n as_o to_o the_o spiritual_a part_n be_v baptize_v into_o that_o spirit_n which_o know_v
