1 Corinthians14:35
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church .
This must be understood of speaking to the Congregation, for the Instructing them, or speaking in the Congregation to the Minister, or any of the people, for her own instruction. For the woman might doubtless say Amen to the publick Prayers, and also sing with the Congregation to the honour and glory of God. But for her to speak in an ordinary course of Prophecy to instruct people, or to call aloud to the Minister, or any Members in the Assembly of the Church, to be satisfied in any thing wherein she was in doubt, this she is forbidden.
