this_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a and_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o such_o a_o gift_n and_o exercise_n as_o woman_n be_v simple_o forbid_v to_o use_v in_o the_o

this_o epistle_n his_o last_o answer_n now_o come_v in_o consideration_n which_o be_v that_o the_o consequence_n be_v ill_a woman_n be_v forbid_v and_o therefore_o man_n be_v permit_v to_o prophesy_v

let_v we_o consider_v of_o the_o force_n of_o it_o which_o appear_v to_o i_o irresistible_a in_o these_o 3._o thing_n first_o the_o apostle_n in_o and_o for_o this_o work_n oppose_v the_o man_n to_o the_o woman_n sex_n to_o sex_n &_o so_o in_o prohibit_v woman_n he_o permit_v man_n when_o the_o h._n ghost_n oppose_v faith_n and_o work_v in_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n deny_v that_o we_o

confess_v myself_o far_o to_o seek_v both_o in_o logic_n and_o divinity_n second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o prohibition_n of_o woman_n prove_v the_o consequence_n which_o be_v all_o such_o as_o
