Romans10:18

18. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world .

He answers an Objection, that some one might make in behalf of the Iews, to excuse them; that they could not Believe, because they had not heard; and Faith, as in the foregoing Verse, comes by hearing. To this he Answers, That the Gospel was Published to the whole World; therefore the Iews must needs have heard it. That the Gospel had been Preached all the World over, he proves by a Testimony taken out of Psal. 19.4. q. d. David tells you. That All have heard, or might hear; for the Sound of the Gospel is gone out into all the earth. Obj. But David speaks of the works of God; as the Heavens, the Firmament, &c. A. Some think, the Apostle only Alludes to this place in the 19. Psalm, and doth not alleadge it. Others think. That the Psalmist doth Literally and Historically speak of the Heavens, &c. And Prophetically of the Apostles, and Preachers of the Gospel. By all the earth, in this Verse, you may understand the greatest Part of it; and by the ends of the world, the remote Parts thereof.
