Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 23:28

28 The prophet that hath a dream w, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully : what is the chaffe to the wheat? saith the LORD .

And let him to whom I have revealed my Will, publish and declare that in all Truth and Faithfulness, not adding his own fancies or dreams to it, 2 Cor. 2.17. [illegible: 1 letter] Pet. 2.2. not corrupting my word.

There is as much difference between my Will, and their Dreams, as there is betwixt the chaffe and the wheat; the one is of value to make food for the Soul, as wheat doth for the Body; the other is of no value: the one (viz. my Word) is of a solid, abiding substance, the other is light and airy, and easily scattered by every Wind.

Not a Divine Dream; a Revelation which I have made to him in his sleep: as appeareth by the following opposition, betwixt a dream, and the word of the Lord, but if any man hath dreamed an ordinary dream, let him tell it as a dream; let him not entitle God to it.
