Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 11:16

16 But if any man seem to be contentious , we have no such custom , neither the churches of God .

If any man hath a mind to quarrel out of a love to shew his wit in discoursing what may be said on the other side, or out of a desire to hold up a Party, and contradict us,

we have no such custom of womens praying, or prophesying with their heads uncovered, or mens praying, or prophesying with their heads covered. Or we have no such custom of contending for these little frivolous things,

neither any of the Churches of God; And good Christians, in their practices, ought, in things of this nature, to have an eye and regard to the custom of their own Church, and also of other Christian Churches. Thus the Apostle closeth this discourse, and proceedeth in the next verses to tax other abuses which were crept into this famous Church.
