Matthew Poole and continuators on John 1:16

16 And of his fulness have all we received , and grace for grace .

Of that plenty of Grace which Christ hath, (who hath not the Spirit given him by measure, chap. 3.34. as other Saints have, Acts 2.4, 6, 8.) We who by Nature are void of Grace, whether taken for the favour of God, or gracious habits, have received as the Skirts of Aaron's Garment received the Oil which was plentifully poured out on Aarons head.

Nor have we received Drops, but Grace upon Grace; not onely Knowledg and Instruction, but the Love and Favour of God, and Spiritual habits, in proportion to the favour and grace which Christ hath (allowing for our shor[illegible: 1 letter] capacities); we have received Grace freely and plentifully, all from Christ, and for his sake; which lets us see how much the Grace-receiving Soul is bound to acknowledg and adore Christ, and may be confirmed in the receiving of further Grace, and the hopes of Eternal Life; and it may mind all (according to that of the Apostle, 2 Cor. 6.1.) to take heed that they receive not the grace of God in vain.
