Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 6:7

7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it , and bringeth forth herbs meet for them * by whom it is dressed , receiveth blessing from God .

For is narrative here, and not rational, introducing a Parabolical illustration of the states and ends of truly regenerate Christians, and unregenerate Apostates; as if he said, you have heard the good of true perfect Christians, and the evil of Apostates, you need not to be offended at it, or wonder, for it is with them even as with the Earth, which is the good Ground in Christ's Parable, Matth. 13.8. and Luke 8.8. and which he interpreteth to be a good and an honest heart, Luke 8.15. renewed in a Sinner by the Holy Ghost, naturally of the same Mould with all others, Ezek. 11.19. and 36.26, 27. As the Earth drinks up the Showers▪ moistning and fructifying it, Psal. 65.9, 10. so this good and honest Heart receiveth the Spiritual Dews and Rain descending from Heaven on it in the Word and Ordinances, as Deut. 32.2.

It bringeth forth all sorts of Fruit for those who dress it according to God's institution, Gen. 1.11, 12. and 2.5, 6. So these good Souls bring forth Fruit▪ which God relisheth and delighteth in as suitable to his Husbandry, Matth. 13.23. compare 2 Pet. 1.5, 6, 7, 8. and 2 Cor. 9, 10. Gal. 5.22, 23. And such as the great manurer of Souls expects from them, 1 Cor. 3.6, 7, 9.

This good Ground is made fruitful by God's Blessing, and the more fruitful it is, the more Blessing it receiveth, Gen. 27.27. This fruitfulness is not the meritorious cause of this Blessing, for that issueth from Grace, but it qualifieth these good Hearts for it, i. e. the continuance to such Souls of the means of Grace, and their increase in Spiritual Comforts, till they reach the perfection of Blessing from God in Eternal Life, v. 9.
