on_o the_o other_o side_n tend_v to_o the_o advauncement_n of_o godliness_n and_o piety_n that_o be_v if_o they_o be_v profitable_a as_o well_o for_o the_o exciting_a conserve_n promove_v of_o the_o

11._o the_o apostle_n ordain_v that_o woman_n shall_v pray_v in_o the_o church_n cover_v and_o man_n bareheaded_a first_o of_o all_o this_o be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o holy_a scripture_n second_o the_o end_n of_o this_o constitution_n be_v honesty_n the_o preservation_n of_o decency_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o outward_a worship_n may_v be_v perform_v with_o great_a honesty_n and_o comeliness_n again_o another_o end_n of_o that_o ceremony_n be_v that_o thereby_o every_o one_o may_v be_v admonish_v and_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o his_o

shall_v meet_v and_o assemble_v together_o and_o tarry_v one_o for_o another_o first_o he_o show_v that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o
