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

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
