Galatians 6:11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ye see how large a letter, &c.— The original has been taken in different senses by interpreters, both ancient and modern. The Vulgate has it, with what letters; Castalio, with how many letters; Erasmus, how large a letter; and Beza, how long a letter. St. Paul mentions his writing with his own hand, as an argument of his great regard for the Galatians. And, as it was not usual for him to write his Epistles with his own hand, excepting the conclusion, or some importantsentence, he might very well say, that, in comparison with his usual custom, he had written a very large letter, and might urge the largeness of the letter as a proof of his sincere regard for their interest.
