Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 3:18

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayst be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayst be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear, and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayst see g.

Righteousness, wherein a Soul may stand before God; and that which will answer what Salves are to the Body for the cure of its Wounds, viz. Consolation, and healing of all spiritual Wounds and Infirmities. In short, whatever thou hast need of, considered either as poor, wretched, and miserable, or as blind, and naked.
