Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 11:6

6 But though I be rude in speech , yet not in knowledge ; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things .

Admit (saith the Apostle) that I be no Orator, speaking to you in high language, or in a neat stile and phrase; either having no faculty that way, or if I have, yet chusing rather to speak plainly and home to your Consciences, than floridly to tickle your ears with a fine sound and chiming of words.

Yet I bless God, I am not defective in knowledge; and, as God hath inlightned me with a large knowledge of his Will, so I have communicated to you the whole Counsel of God.

And in all things, which may declare me an Apostle, one sent of Christ about the business of the Gospel, I have been made manifest amongst you; preaching amongst you the whole Doctrine of the Gospel, and having been an Instrument to convert many of you from Paganism to Christianity.
