Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 15:27

27 For he hath put all things under this feet ; But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him .

The Apostle referreth to Psal. 8.6. where the Psalmist adoreth God for the Priviledges given man in his Creation; amongst which this is one, That God had put all things under his feet; the Psalmist afterward expounds that universal Particle, v. 7, 8. by All Sheep and Oxen, yea and the beasts of the field, the sowls of the Air, and the fishes of the Sea. But that that Psalm, or some passages at least in it, are to be understood of Christ, appeareth from Heb. 2.6, 7, 8. where the Penman applieth it to him, as doth the Apostle here; under whose feet all things are put in a much larger sense, and therefore the Apostle expounds the Affirmative, Heb. 2.8. by a Negative, He left nothing that is not put under him. But left men of perverse minds should conclude, That then the Father also [illegible: 1 letter]s put under Christ, the Apostle addeth; That

when he saith, He hath put all things under his feet, the Father himself, who is the Person that put all things under him, is not to be included.
