Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 6:12

12 Ye are not straitned in us , but ye are straitned in your own bowels .

If you cannot mutually rejoice in me, and what I write; or if you do not repay me the like affection, the fault is not in me; I have done my duty, and that too from a true Principle of Love to you.

But it is through mistakes, and misapprehensions in your selves, your not [illegible: 1 letter]right conceiving of me in the discharge of my Apostolical Office. Or the cause of your trouble and sorrow, is from your selves, upon your suffering the incestuous Person, and other scandalous persons, to abide in your Communion; which was an Errour I could not but take notice of, according to that Apostolical Authority which God hath committed to me.
