Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 13:21

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

May this God dispose, incline, and fit you for, may he finish and perfect in you Grace to perform all the fore-mentioned Duties, and every other good Work, which he enjoyneth on you towards God, one another, and all Men, 2 Cor. 13.9. Ephes. 4.12. Tit. 3.14. 1 Pet. 4.2. and 5.10. according to his written Will and Law, Ephes. 2.10.

Working in you by his Spirit continually, that all these good Works may satisfie his Expectation, be a sweet Savour in his Nostrils, and so pleasing in his Sight, that his Soul may delight in them, Phil. 2.13. Col. 1.9, 10. that God's Good-Will may return unto them, and he may reward them according to their VVorks, ch. 11.5, 6. while all is rendred by Iesus Christ, sprinkled with his Blood, and perfumed with his Incense, ch. 10.19, to 23. As they are to have all done through Christ, so through his Merit and Intercessiion the Apostle begs all this from the Father for them.

To this God the Father in the Son, and by the Spirit working all this Good in them, and for them, be really, truly, heartily, and perpetually, throughout all Ages, ascribed the Honour and Glory due to him for the glorious Manifestation of his Perfections in them, Ephes. 3.21. Phil. 4.20. 2 Pet. 3.18. Rev. 4.11. and 5.13. The firm Seal of this, from his believing Heart, is his Amen, longing for the Addition of God's A[illegible: 1 letter]en, so be it in Heaven, to his on Earth.
