Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 20:6

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandements .

To wit, of their generations, i. e. for ever: whereas his punishment extended onely to three or four of them. So far is Gods mercy exalted above his justice, Compare Psal. 103. 17.

This conjunction is very observable both against those that falsly and foolishly pretend or insinuate, that the inward affection of love to God is not absolutely and always necessary to Salvation, and also against them who pretending inward love to God, live in the customary breach of Gods known commands.

Marginal references: Deut. 7. 9. Psal. 89. 34.
