Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 8:11

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it , that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which you have .

Ye shewed your selves some time since free to will the thing which I am now pressing you unto, you have now opportunity to do it, and the Example of other Churches going before you in the doing of it; shew your selves now constant by the doing of it.

That seeing God hath given you something of this Worlds Goods, and that in proportions beyond your poor Brethren, as you pretended a great readiness a great while since to relieve them, so you may by your performance justifie that it was not all a mere pretence.
