But .ij. thinges are with out lawe / god and
necessite. Yf god to shew his power shall shede out his grace
moare
vppon youth then vppon age at a tyme / who shall
lett him? wemen be no mete vesseles
to rule or to preach (for both are forboden them)
yet hath god endoted
them with his spirite at sondrie tymes and shewed his
power
& goodnesse vppon them and wrought wonderfull thinges by them / because he wold not haue them dispised. We reade that
wemen
haue iudged all Israel and haue bene greate
prophetisses and haue done mightie deades. Yee and if stories be
true / wemen haue preached sens the openynge of the new
testament.
