Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 1:2

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ .

This was the Apostles common Salutation, Rom. 1.7. See the Notes on the former Epistle, Chap. 1.3. where it is observable, That not the Father only, but the Lord Jesus Christ, is invoked, and made the Author of Grace (which is the free Love of God) and of Pe[illegible: 1 letter]ce, which signifieth either reconciliation with God upon the free pardon of our sin, or union with men, and brotherly love amongst themselves. The Heathens used to begin their Epistles with wishing one another health and prosperity; but the Apostle hath shewn us a more Christian way, and more suited to the Faith of Christians, who believe the Love and Favour of God, the greatest and most desirable blessings.
