Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 24:10

10 Then Paul, after that the governour had beckened unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for my self:

By some sign with his hand.

Tho St. Paul would no[illegible: 1 letter] flatter Felix with notorious untruths as Tertullus had done, yet he speaks very respectively, and mentions his continuance in the Government; the rather, because, if he had been so seditious a person as Tertullus would have represented him to have been, Felix could not but have heard of him, any of any mischief that had been done by him.
