Matthew Poole and continuators on James 1:22

22 But be ye doers of the word , and not hearers only deceiving your own selves .

The same as doers of the Work, v. 25. namely, which the Word prescribes, q.d. receive the Word by Faith into your Hearts, and bring forth the fruit of it in your Lives; see Luke 11.28. Iohn 13.17.

Not contenting your selves with a bare hearing the Word, though it have no influence upon you.

Playing the Sophisters with, or putting a fallacy upon your selves, particularly perswading your selves into a good opinion of your state, meerly because of your being hearers of the Word, Matth. 7.21.
