Et tale jus-jurandum à scenica praestitum, & fidejussoris datio non tenebit. And good reason: for S. Paul prohibites women to speake publikely in the Church. 1 Cor. 14.34. 1 Tim… 2.12. And dare then any Christian women be so more then whorishly impudent, as to act, to speake publikely on a Stage, (perchance in mans apparell, and cut haire, here proved sinfull and abominable) in the presence of sundry men and women?
