Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 13:46

46 Who when he hath found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The State of the Gospel Dispensation, is such, that Men in it, having a Discovery of more excellent things, than before they were aware of, Life and Immortality being brought to Light through the Gospel. 2. Tim. 1.10. Grace and Truth coming by Iesus Christ, Ioh. 1.17. Men and Women are set upon seeking for these Spiritual things, as Merchants do for goodly Pearls, and when God makes a Discovery of Christ, and his Grace to the Soul, it appears to them as a Pearl of great Price, of more value than all they have in the World, and they are ready to part with all, to obtain Christ, and his Grace. Both these Parables have the same Scope, and Tendency, viz. to inform us, that Chri[illegible: 1 letter]t and his Grace are of a great and Transcendent value. 2. That under the Gospel, there is a clear Discovery of these things to the World. 3. That where this Discovery is effectually, and particularly made to any Soul, that Soul will part with all it hat[illegible: 1 letter], or is worth, rather than it will miss of Chri[illegible: 1 letter]t and his Grace and Glory.
