Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 6:49

49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth, against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

See the Notes on Matth. 7.24, 25, &c. where we before met with the same thing. The Sum is, Mens Hopes of Salvation builded upon any other but Christ alone, or Builded upon Christ, without a Sincere Study, and Indeavour to keep the Commandments of Christ, are Vain Hopes, and tho till a Storm of Affliction, or Temptation comes, they may please themselves a little with them, yet when they come to dy, or when any notable Temptation assaults them, or any great Affliction cometh upon them, then they will fail them, and they will see the folly, and Vanity of them, what is the Hope of the Hypocrite, when God takes away his Soul? Job 27.8.
