in_o the_o church_n privata_fw-la wherefore_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v not_o common_a to_o they_o &_o all_o christian_n here_o unto_o he_o answer_v i_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v not_o

where_o man_n speak_v not_o there_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o woman_n speak_v by_o all_o which_o we_o see_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n forbid_v not_o woman_n to_o prophesy_v that_o be_v in_o
