Joshua 11:15 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ver. 15. Joshua—left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses— Spinosa is pleased to say, that this eulogy is too great to have fallen from the pen of Joshua; whence he concludes, that Joshua did not write this book, known by his name. What admirable reasoning is this! So that, in like manner, we are to refuse granting St. Paul to be the author of the epistles, in which he does justice to his own fidelity; and to deny that Caesar wrote those commentaries which are unanimously ascribed to him, because they specify his own great achievements.
