Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 2:22

22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred, but new wine must be put into new bottles.

See all this opened in the Notes, on Matth. 9.9. &c. the Sum of all teacheth us. 1. That Fasting is an exercise suted to Afflictive Dispensations of Providence, and ought to be proportioned to its Season. 2. That new Converts are not to be discouraged by too severe Exercises of Religion, but to be Trained up to them by degrees.
