Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 1:2

2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia

He writeth not onely in his own name, but in the name of all those other Christians that were with him in the place wher[illegible: 1 letter] he now was; (whether Rome or Corinth, or some other place is incertain:) with whose consent and privity probably he wrote, possibly at their instigation, and whose common consent in th[illegible: 1 letter]t Doctrine of Faith which he handleth, (as well as in other things about which he writeth) he here declareth. Some [illegible: 1 letter]hink that the Apostle forbears the term Saints, or Sanctified in Christ Iesus, &c. commonly used in his other Epistles, because of that Apostacy for which he designed to reprove them; but it is implyed in the term Churches. Galatia was a large Countrey, and had in it many famous Cities; it was neither wholly Christian, nor yet such, as to the major part; but there were in it several particular Congregations of Christians, which he calleth Churches, (every Congregation of Christians using to meet together to Worship God, being a Church, a particular Church, though all such Congregations make up but one Vniversal Visible Church.) Nor, being guilty of no Idolatry, though corrupted in some particular points of Doctrine, and those of moment, doth the Apostle deny them the name of Churches, though he sharply rebuketh them for their errors.
