seem_v to_o have_v be_v somewhat_o too_o harsh_a to_o the_o woman_n he_o prudent_o and_o cautious_o mitigate_v and_o temper_v his_o former_a argument_n here_o that_o it_o may_v not_o redound_v to_o

by_o this_o short_a descant_n on_o this_o part_n of_o the_o chapter_n you_o may_v perceive_v the_o design_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o treat_v of_o concern_v man_n

by_o the_o apostle_n as_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o precept_n he_o give_v they_o viz._n that_o woman_n must_v be_v veil_v or_o cover_v and_o man_n uncover_v when_o they_o pray_v to_o persuade_v and_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o command_n he_o appeal_v to_o nature_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o this_o teach_v they_o that_o very_a thing_n which_o he_o enjoin_v they_o and_o this_o disallow_v of_o that_o which_o he_o forbid_v they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v yourselves_o may_v in_o your_o own_o mind_n and_o conscience_n judge_v of_o the_o decency_n of_o man_n uncover_v their_o head_n when_o they_o pray_v and_o of_o the_o contrary_a indecency_n of_o this_o practice_n in_o woman_n i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o these_o be_v found_v on_o the_o appointment_n of_o heaven_n the_o order_n of_o our_o universal_a governor_n the_o principle_n of_o nature_n the_o law_n of_o reason_n and_o the_o distinction_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v between_o the_o sex_n this_o be_v no_o ●nfrequent_a thing_n that_o your_o duty_n be_v commend_v to_o you_o even_o by_o the_o dictate_v of_o your_o reasonable_a nature_n several_a thing_n which_o may_v be_v urge_v upon_o you_o be_v of_o this_o fort_n the_o very_a natural_a light_n which_o you_o be_v endue_v with_o suggest_v the_o observance_n of_o they_o as_o now_o because_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o cover_v or_o uncover_v the_o head_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v near_o relate_v to_o it_o viz._n the_o manner_n of_o wear_v the_o hair_n of_o the_o head_n what_o be_v commendable_a in_o man_n and_o what_o in_o woman_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n here_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n shine_v upon_o you_o and_o direct_v you_o what_o to_o do_v if_o you_o will_v consult_v yourselves_o and_o the_o natural_a suggestion_n of_o your_o mind_n you_o shall_v plain_o discover_v what_o be_v your_o duty_n even_o nature_n itself_o teach_v you_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v long_a hair_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o he_o but_o if_o a_o woman_n have_v long_a hair_n it_o be_v a_o glory_n to_o she_o but_o all_o person_n that_o have_v comment_v and_o treat_v on_o these_o word_n do_v not_o so_o easy_o agree_v about_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o yea_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a disagreement_n among_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o give_v different_a sense_n of_o these_o two_o principal_a word_n nature_n and_o that_o other_o which_o we_o translate_v to_o have_v long_a hair_n the_o only_a difficulty_n therefore_o lie_v in_o these_o two_o word_n i_o will_v inquire_v 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o nature_n 2._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o have_v long_a hair_n or_o rather_o what_o the_o greek_a word_n which_o be_v here_o so_o render_v true_o signify_v first_o let_v we_o inquire_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o nature_n nature_n here_o teach_v we_o something_o but_o we_o can_v tell_v what_o that_o be_v which_o it_o teach_v unless_o we_o know_v what_o nature_n be_v and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o we_o must_v acquaint_v ourselves_o how_o this_o word_n nature_n be_v take_v it_o sometime_o signify_v the_o natural_a and_o inbred_a corruption_n of_o mankind_n thus_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n eph._n 2._o 3._o i_o e._n by_o our_o common_a degeneracy_n and_o apostasy_n in_o adam_n we_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o so_o general_o in_o the_o father_n and_o ecclesiastical_a writer_n the_o word_n be_v take_v it_o denote_v the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n the_o original_a depravation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o see_v the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o something_o which_o be_v good_a and_o laudable_a that_o nature_n teach_v thence_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o this_o be_v not_o and_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v three_o other_o signification_n of_o it_o and_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o must_v undeniable_o be_v understand_v here_o first_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o general_n natural_a light_n or_o knowledge_n the_o inward_a dictate_v of_o reason_n in_o a_o man_n breast_n thus_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n rom._n 2._o 14._o i_o e._n they_o have_v a_o rational_a principle_n in_o they_o which_o prompt_v they_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n this_o have_v its_o name_n both_o in_o greek_a and_o latin_a from_o its_o nase●●do_fw-la be_v bear_v with_o a_o man_n it_o be_v the_o innate_a and_o congenite_fw-la property_n of_o the_o rational_a soul_n of_o man_n and_o because_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o nature_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v plant_v in_o our_o mind_n reason_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a therefore_o this_o become_v a_o divine_a law_n and_o be_v
