    Spurgeon says of him: "On the whole, if I must have only one commentary, and had read Matthew Henry as I have, I do not know but what I should choose Poole."

    I have heard that Matthew Poole was a signer of the Solemn League & Covenant.

    He is buried at the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam:

    Knowing the time, that it is now high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer then when we believed. The night is far spent the day is at hand, let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light!

    I will both lay me down in peace and quiet sleep will take because thou only me to dwell in safety Lord dost make, in safety Lord dost make

    good thoughts to begin and end the day with!
    *Peter Gray* Elkins Park RPCNA

    "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. " Mk 9:24
    "The greatest thing we can desire, next to the glory of God, is our own salvation; and the sweetest thing we can desire is the assurance of our salvation. In this life we cannot get higher than to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed. All saints shall enjoy a heaven when they leave this earth; some saints enjoy a heaven while they are here on earth." Joseph Caryl

    Soli Deo Gloria will soon be publishing Poole's "Dialogue Between a Roman Catholic Priest and a Protestant Minister." Look for it early in 2007.

    Is this a hint that you want a Poole smiley?

    So many Puritan smileys, so little time.

    I have Libronix, Bibleworks 7, E-Sword, but none have Poole

    Swordsearcher seems to have it

    Matthew Poole contributed four of the Cripplegate Sermons: 1) How Ministers or Christian Friends may and ought to apply themselves to sick Persons, for their Good, and the Discharge of their own Conscience; 2) How may Detraction be best prevented or cured?; 3) The Satisfaction of Christ discussed; and 4) Pope and Councils not Infallible.

    The introduction to Matthew Poole's Annotations (written by his continuators) is often overlooked but is very much worth reading for those who have not already done so -- it tells the story of the English Bible and annotations leading up to Poole's work. It can be read online here (scroll down).

    A few more of Matthew Poole's "Last Sayings":

    35. If the Reward of Religion would be presently in hand, who would not be Religious?

    39. Every Morning Remember that thy Walking with God, is the Business of that Day.

    46. Whatever thou doest for God, God keeps a true Account, believe it, and Plow and Sow in hope.

    Matthew Poole:

    Ministers are living Books, and Books are dead Ministers; and yet though dead, they speak. When you cannot heare the one, you may read the other.

    Synopsis

    Andrew, is your pastor planning on translating the whole of the SC? I emailed him, but got no response. If he is, not only am I tremendously excited, but willing to help him in any way I can.

    Andrew, is your pastor planning on translating the whole of the SC? I emailed him, but got no response. If he is, not only am I tremendously excited, but willing to help him in any way I can.
    I appreciate your encouraging words! Yes, his plan is to translate the entire Synopsis. He is well into Genesis and moving rapidly but it is a very lengthy project as you may imagine. The Preface is now available on the website and chapters from Genesis will be forthcoming soon, dv. I will mentioned that you tried to reach him and also that you have kindly offered to assist. Thank you very much, and God bless.
    Andrew

    George Godfrey Cunningham, Lives of Eminent and Illustrious Englishmen, from Alfred the Great to the Latest Times, on an Original Plan:

    He is represented by his biographer as being of an exceedingly merry disposition, though always within the limits of reason and innocence. His conversation is said to have been diverting and facetious in a very high degree. How great then must have been the restraints he exercised in so severe and continued a seclusion from society, and so close an application of mind to the very driest and dullest of studies – criticism! Mr Poole, however, appears to have enjoyed the happy art of both exciting and regulating innocent mirth.

    He seems to have entertained a strict sense of what was decorous and of what was useful in facetious and entertaining, or even in mirthful discourse; but when he found that the strain was likely to be too long continued, or surpass the due limit, he would say, ‘Now let us call for a reckoning,’ and then would begin some very serious conversation, and endeavour thereby to leave upon his company some useful and valuable impression.
