Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 6:21

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

A Treasure (according to the Notation of the Word) signifieth something laid up for to morrow, for future time, more largely it signifieth any Riches, or what we judge a valuable Portion, make not the things of the Earth, your Riches, or Portion, with reference to future time; for all the Riches of the Earth are perishing Contemptible things, Silver and Gold is what R[illegible: 1 letter]st will corrupt, Clot[illegible: 1 letter]es, are what Moths will spoil, any other things are sub[illegible: 1 letter]ect to Casualties; and amongst others, to the violence of unreasonable Men, who tho they have no right to them, will ordinarily take them from you. But let your Riches, your Treasure be that which is Heavenly, those Habits of Grace, which will bring you to Heaven, the things which accompany Salvation, Heb. 6.9. which make you meet to be partakers of the Saints in Light, Col. 1.12. be Rich in good Works, 1 Tim. 6.18. laying up in store for your selves, a good Foundation against the time to come, that you may lay hold on Eternal Life, v. 19. Chap. 19.21. & 25.34. Luk. 18.22. Those Treasures will not be liable to such Accidents as all Earthly Treasures are: Wherever you fix your Treasure, your Heart will be there also, thinking upon it, delighting in it, &c.
