Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 25:18

18 But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his Lords money.

This part in the Parable only sheweth the different use, that Men and Women make of those Gifts, whether of Common Providence, or of Grace, especially Common Grace which the Lord bestowed on them. Some make a great use of them for the profit of their Ma[illegible: 1 letter]ter, for the end for which God betrusted them with them, to Wit, the Glory of his holy Name, and the Salvation of their Souls. Others make no use at all of them for those ends.
