  In a “Postscript” to the 1667 edition, Fell once again addresses those “dark Priests” who are “so mad against Womens Speaking” (18). She refers to the example of Deborah (Judges 5), a woman leader who sung and praised God in “glorious triumphing expressions” (18). Fell points out the hypocrisy of those priests who forbid women to preach and yet include the words of Deborah in their sermons. She scorns those who “make a Trade of Womens words to get money by, and take Texts, and Preach Sermons upon Womens words; and still cry out, Women must not speak, Women must be Silent” (16). These priests are being blatantly contradictory: they allow that women can speak the word of God, and yet they deny that women can speak the word of God.
