Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 11:4

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him .

How our Translators have interpreted [non-Latin text not transcribed], you may well bear, I cannot tell: the words manifestly are to be interpreted, you have well born, and so are plainly a reflection upon some in this Church, who had patiently endured false Teachers, who had preached other Doctrine than what Paul had preached. And this the Apostle giveth as a reason of his fear, le[illegible: 1 letter]t they should be corrupted and drawn away from the simplicity of the Gospel. This certainly is more obviously the sense of the words, than what others incline to, who make the sense this: If any other could come to you, who could preach to you a better Iesus, a more excellent Saviour than we have done; or a more excellent Spirit than him whom you have received; or a more excellent Doctrine than the Doctrine of the Gospel, which we have preached, you might bear with him. For I see no pretence to interpret the Verb as in the Potential Mood, it is manifestly the Indicative Mood; and declareth, not what they might do, but what they had done; which made the Apostle jealous of them, lest they should be perverted. And our Saviour, Ioh. 5.43. hath taught us, That those who with the most difficulty receive those who come to them in Gods Name, are always most easie to receive those who come in their own name, without any due Authority or Commission from God.
