Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 4:13

13 Ye know how through infirmitie of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first .

The Scripture having not given us a particular account of Pauls circumstances, when he first preached the Gospel to the Galatians; we are at a loss to determine what those infirmities were which Paul here speaketh of; more then that he calls them infirmities of the flesh. By which may be understood, either the baseness, and contemptibleness of his presence, (which the false Teachers at Corinth objected to him, 2 Corinthians chapter 10. verse 10.) Or some boldly sickness which Paul had at that time, (as some of the antients guesse▪) or his sufferings for the Gospel, which were those infirmitus wherein he chose to glory, 2 Corinthians 11.30.
