Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 16:16

16 The law and the prophets were until John, since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

We had the Sum of these Words, Matth. 11, 12, 13. See the Notes on those Verses. The Connexion of these Words in this place seems to be this. Do no think it strange, that I Preach some Doctrines to you, which seem new to you, tho indeed they are no other then was before contained in the precepts of the old Testament, For the Law of the Prophets, the preaching of them, held but till Iohn, since whose time the Gospel hath been Preached, which gives you a clearer light into the Will of God, than you had before, and it pleaseth God to give it a great acceptation in the World, tho you reject it, every one presseth, that is, many press into it, so as God will not want a People, tho you mock and deride the Gospel instead of imbracing of it, as you ought to do.
