Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 3:10

10 To the intent that now unto the principallities and powers in heavenly places , might be known by the Church the manifold wisedom of God e.

Good Angels, Col. 1.16. and 1 Pet. 3.22.

Exceedingly, or many ways various. The Divine Wisedom is in it self one simple thing, but appearing in so great variety of Works, it is said to be various. This may be best understood of the whole Oeconomy of Mens Redemption, and God's governing his Church in several Ages, the several Forms of the Church, the various ways of revealing the Divine Will, the different measures of Light let out in different times, the different Dispensations of the Covenant of Grace before the Law, under the Law, under the Gospel, to the Iews, to the Gentiles, &c.

Not effectually, as a Teacher or Instructer of Angels present in Church Assemblies, but objectively, as a Mirrour in which they might be[illegible: 1 letter]old, and contemplate the manifold Wisedom of God.
