Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 10:12

12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek : for the same Lord over all , is rich unto all that call upon him .

He gives a Reason for that universal Term (whosoever) which he had added in the precedent Verse, and is not found in Isaiah, as was noted before in chap. 9.33.

These words are a Reason why there is no difference now betwixt Iew and Greek. This Title is to be referred more especially to Iesus Christ, who was called Lord, ver. 9. and is called, Lord of all, Act. 10.36. He is Head of all the Elect, in all Nations of the World.

i. e. Is Bountiful unto All. So that the Iews need not envy the calling or coming of the Gentiles. They have never the less themselves; the Lord hath an inexhaustible Store of Grace and Mercy. The Fountain is above our Thirst.

Not to All, hand over head, but to such as call upon Him in Faith.
