That's right. Henry completed through Acts but Poole only through Isaiah 58. Spurgeon says of Poole,

Quote:
Strange to say, like the other great Matthew he did not live to complete his work beyond Isaiah 58; other hands united to finish the design.
However, Poole did finish the Synopsis, which covers the entire Bible and from which much his Annotations are drawn.
