Galatians6:11
Verſe. 11. Behold vvhat a letter I haue vvrytten to you vvith mine ovvne hand. He cloſeth vppe his Epiſtle with an exhortation to the faithfull, and with a ſharpe rebuke or inuectiue againſt the falſe apoſtles: Behold (ſayth he) vvhat a letter I haue vvryttē vnto you vvith mine ovvn hand. The motherly affection of Paule. This he ſayeth to moue them and to ſhew his motherly affection towardes them. As if he ſhould ſay: I neuer wrote ſo long an Epiſtle wt mine owne hand to any other church as I haue done vnto you. For as for his other Epiſtles, as he ſpake other wrote them, & afterwardes he ſubſcribed his ſalutation & name wt his owne hād, as it is to be ſeene in ye end of his Epiſtles. And in theſe words (as I ſuppoſe) he hath reſpect to the length of the Epiſtle. Other ſome take it otherwiſe.
