Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 1:15

15 And in this confidence I was minded to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit .

Being confident that my presence with you, would be matter of rejoycing both to you, and also to me, I purposed to come unto you before I went into Macedonia, visiting you shortly in my journey thither, that so you might have a second longer visit in kindness to you. We find, Acts 16.9. that Paul received his first Call into Macedonia in a Vision; we read again of his passing through Macedonia to go to Ierusalem: The Apostle seemeth to speak here of the latter.
