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 Poole's 3 volume commentary set on the scriptures. They are excellent!

One of Matthew Poole's "Last Sayings" was:

"Let your Morning Thoughts, and your last Evening Thoughts, be what shall become of you to all Eternity."
 
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!
 
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.

Very good! I recently acquired this myself. We are working on republishing this and other Poole works as well. Oh well, you can never get enough Matthew Poole, in my opinion! :2cents:

Is Poole available in any Online software besides Online Bible ?

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

Swordsearcher seems to have it

Besides Online Bible, his annotations are also available on the EPP.
 
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.
