Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 12:6

6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool: for I will say the truth . But now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me :

If I should have a mind to glory, I should not be a Fool, for I would not glory in things that were not true. And though a man, in speaking things of himself which are true, may sometimes betray folly, (viz. where he doth it meerly to set forth himself, and make himself to appear a greater person than indeed he is) yet for a man to glory of himself, where the honour of God is concerned in the Vindication of himself from reproaches and calumnies, speaks not any folly:

but (saith the Apostle) (I forbear, having no desire that any should think of me above what he seeth in me, or heareth of me, from others mouths and not mine own.
