Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 4:13

13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight : but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do .

[non-Latin text not transcribed] is not only copulative, but rational, shewing the ground of the former Efficacy of the Gospel-Word, because its Author seeth and knoweth all Persons and Things, and filleth it with this power and Force. For every Creature which God the Son created, Angel, or Man, or any other, from the greatest to the least, from the Leviathan to a Mite, and all parts of every Creature, especially of every Creature to whom the Gospel is preached, Mark 16.15. not any one is [non-Latin text not transcribed] without light, invisible, unapparent, obscure, or possible to be covered, or hid, or concealed from his View or Face; where the Relative [non-Latin text not transcribed] agreeth with [non-Latin text not transcribed] God in Christ, and not with [non-Latin text not transcribed], or the Word, v. 12. as the following Relative evinceth. To this God-Man no Spirit nor Thought can be hid; it shall not be so from the efficacious Power of his Word, much less shall Infidelity or Hypocrisie be hid from it, or his most piercing Eye.

But all things in general and particular, not any one excepted, is bare, naked, uncloathed, the Covering is removed, all Secrets are open and manifest to view, God the Son seeth within and without, all are unveiled to him, and laid open as by Dissection. [non-Latin text not transcribed] a Metaphor taken from the sacrificed Beasts, which being skinned, were cut open from the Neck, and so divided by the Chine to the Rump, or by the Throat downward imbowelled by the Priests, so as every part within may be clearly seen whether clean or unclean. The Truth of which is, that every thing in the World, even the most secret and inward Thoughts of the Heart of a Sinner, which is a great Deep, is opened and laid forth to every Scruple unto God in Christ; every secret Unbelief, apostatizing Principle, or Hypocrisie he discerneth clearly and fully, Ier. 17.9, 10. he that made the Eye, must see best.

His Eyes who pierceth beyond the Vultures into things and places that no Eye can discern, the Souls of Men, Iob 28.7, 10. Psal. 94.9. Prov. 20.12. All this is asserted concerning the Person of whom Paul writes, Christ God-Man, the great Gospel-Minister, whose Word is so powerfully piercing: Of him and his Word is all this Speech and Discourse; he it is who is the All-knowing and impartial Judge, and makes his Gospel Word of Counsel, Promise, and Threatnings to cut so deeply, and search the secrets of the Hearts of all.
