Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 11:10

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head , because of the angels .

By power on her head is here to be understood (as some think) a covering on her head, in sign that she is under the power of her husband: the thing signified is here put for the sign, as the sign is often put for the thing signified. Thus the Ark, which is called, The Ark of Gods strength, Psal. 132.8. is it self called his Strength, 1 Chron. 16.11. But others here by Head, do not understand the womans natural head, but her husband, or the man who is the political head of the woman; and by having power on him, understand her exercising of her power in him, testifying it, by covering her head, and think this Text well expounded by 1 Tim. 2.12. where the Apostle forbiddeth the woman to usurp authority over the man. He addeth another Reason

Because of the Angels. By Angels here, some understand God himself, who by the ministry of Angels created man and woman in this order, and put this Law upon the woman. Others understand those Messengers which the man sent sometimes, by whom the woman was betrothed (but this was a custom only in use amongst the Jews.) Others here by Angels understand the Ministers and Officers of the Church, who are sometimes in holy Writ called Angels. Others understand the evil Angels, who watch to take advantage to tempt men from object appearing beautiful, to unchast thoughts, &c. But the most and best Interpreters understand here by Angels, the good Angels; for the Apostle would hardly have spoken of Devils under the notion of Angels, especially speaking to deter persons from actions; and so it teaches us, That the good Angels, who are ministring Spirits for the good of Gods Elect, at all times have a special ministration, or at least are more particularly present in the Assemblies of people for religious Worship, observing the persons, carriage, and demeanour; the sense of which ought to aw all persons, attending those Services, from any indecent and unworthy behaviour.
