Chapter XXI.—Of
Virgins.
But that point which is promiscuously observed
throughout the churches, whether virgins ought to be veiled or no, must
be treated of. For they who allow to virgins immunity from
head-covering, appear to rest on this; that the apostle has not defined
“virgins” by name, but “women,”8873
as “to be veiled;” nor the sex
generally, so as to say “females,” but a class of
the sex, by saying “women:” for if he had named the sex by
saying “females,” he would have made his limit absolute for
every woman; but while he names one class of the sex, he
separates another class by being silent. For, they say, he might either
have named “virgins” specially; or generally, by a
compendious term, “females.”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
