What! came the word of God out from you? Are ye of Corinth, the first church in the world, by whose example all others should be modelled? Or came it unto you only? Are you the only Christian society that has received the true gospel? If not, conform herein to the custom of all the churches. These questions the apostle asks, to cut off every pretence for women's teaching in the church. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual Endowed with any extraordinary gift of the Spirit; let him acknowledge, &c. Let him prove that he is indeed under the influence of the Divine Spirit, by his submission and obedience to these determinations, and confess that the things that I now write unto you are the commandments of the Lord Dictated by inspiration from him. But if any man be ignorant Or affect to appear uncertain about the truth of what I write; let him be ignorant Let him remain so, and abide the consequences of his ignorance, whether real or affected.
