Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 20:13

13 ¶ And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: For so had he appointed, minding himself to go a [illegible: 1 letter]oot.

A City in Mysia, called also Apollonia, not far from Troas either by water or land.

Paul's going on foot might be the [illegible: 1 letter]ather, that so he might have the better opportunity to scatter the seed of the Gospel as he went, going thorow Towns and Villages▪ and conversing still with some or other, more than in Sea-journeys can be expected. So greedy of winning souls to Christ was this holy man, that he ordered every step, as near as he could, towards it. But St. Paul might desire to go alone thus on foot, that he might enjoy more free and full communion with God, having only God and his own soul to converse with.
