Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 5:9

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle , not to company with fornicators .

It should seem that Paul had wrote so in some former Epistle which he had directed to this Church, which is lost; for we must think that Paul wrote more Epistles to the several Churches, than those le[illegible: 1 letter]t us upon Record in holy Writ (yet so, as not to undermine the perfection of the Holy Scriptures,) By Fornicators are meant any sorts of unclean persons known to them; and the keeping company with them, which the Apostle h[illegible: 1 letter]d prohibited to the Corinthians, was not a meer fellowship with them in their works of darkness, but any intimacy of communion with any such persons.
