There is greater difficulty then M. Doctor mentioneth / in the words of 1S. Paul / where he saith a woman praying or Prophesying ought to be veiled / and have her head covered / in which words it seemeth that the Apostle licenceth a woman to prophesy / so that she do it with her head covered. But to him that shall diligently consider the place / it shall appear / that the women of Corinth / did pass the bounds of modesty and of shamefastness / two ways / whereof one was / that they came into the congregation contrary to the custom of those countries / with their heads & faces uncovered: an other was / that they also took upon them to speak in the congregation / both which faults S. Paul condemned / but in their several and proper places. Although therefore speaking against the abuse of uncovering their head / he doth not condemn their boldness in teaching / yet he did not therefore approve it / the confutation whereof he reserved to a more commodious place. But sayeth he / if women do baptise / it is in private houses.
There is greater difficultie then M. Doctor mentioneth / in the wordes of 1S. Paule / where he sayth a woman praying or Prophesying ought to be vailed / and haue her head couered / in which words it seemeth that the Apostle lycenceth a woman to prophecie / so that shee do it with her head couered. But to hym that shall diligently consyder the place / it shall appeare / that the women of Corinth / dyd passe the boundes of modesty and of shamefastnesse / two wayes / whereof one was / that they came into the congregation contrary to the custome of those countreys / with theyr heades & faces vncouered: an other was / that they also tooke vpon them to speake in the congregation / both which faultes S. Paule condemned / but in their seuerall and proper places. Although therfore speaking agaynst the abuse of vncouering theyr head / he doth not condemne their boldnesse in teaching / yet he dyd not therefore approue it / the confutation whereof he reserued to a more commodious place. But sayeth hee / if women do baptise / it is in priuate houses.
