Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 12:16

16 But be it so: I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile .

I hear what some say, It is true, that when I was my self with you, I laid no burden upon you, did not put you upon any Collection for me; but, like a crafty man, I set others to take money of you for my use. So as, what I did not by my self, I did by those whom I imployed. This appeareth to be the sense by what followeth in the next verse, where he appealeth to them for his vindication in this particular.
