be_v how_o the_o apostle_n cite_v they_o in_o that_o place_n where_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n see_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o david_n speak_v here_o of_o god_n discover_v his_o glory_n to_o all_o nation_n by_o the_o heaven_n now_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v by_o some_o that_o under_o the_o historical_a narration_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o their_o

speak_v so_o much_o in_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o write_a word_n but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o answer_v give_v that_o be_v more_o satisfactory_a the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n allege_v the_o word_n in_o the_o sense_n that_o david_n intend_v they_o to_o wit_n as_o speak_v concern_v the_o language_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o that_o as_o draw_v a_o argument_n from_o thence_o to_o prove_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o gentile_n but_o i_o say_v have_v they_o not_o hear_v yes_o very_o their_o sound_n go_v into_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o their_o word_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v have_v not_o the_o jew_n hear_v or_o have_v not_o the_o gentile_n hear_v or_o why_o shall_v it_o seem_v so_o strange_a that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v to_o the_o gentile_n we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n make_v know_v himself_o to_o all_o the_o world_n by_o the_o book_n or_o voice_n of_o the_o creature_n sufficient_o to_o render_v they_o inexcusable_a and_o why_o may_v we_o not_o as_o well_o think_v that_o he_o will_v also_o reveal_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o nation_n yea_o why_o may_v we_o not_o look_v upon_o that_o as_o a_o intimation_n that_o he_o will_v in_o process_n of_o time_n reveal_v himself_o save_o unto_o all_o the_o world_n or_o it_o may_v be_v take_v as_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a thus_o if_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o all_o the_o world_n by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o creature_n much_o more_o may_v we_o think_v he_o will_v do_v it_o by_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v far_o more_o abundant_o reveal_v and_o indeed_o this_o exposition_n agree_v well_o with_o the_o drift_n of_o david_n in_o this_o psalm_n which_o be_v to_o show_v how_o much_o more_o full_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o by_o his_o word_n then_o by_o his_o work_n the_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o paul_n allege_v these_o word_n of_o the_o psalm_n only_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v have_v they_o not_o hear_v yes_o very_o what_o be_v say_v by_o david_n concern_v the_o preach_n
