HE shows now that the world was too unthankful, who having seen the works of God, did still persevere in that blindness wherewith it was possessed before. In the beginning of the Chapter, he showed that the victory was his, if they would but lend their ears to hear his plea: now he adds, that the Gentiles knew his power well enough, and yet for all that, continued obstinate and rebellious. In which respect, they were left without excuse. Why so? Because the Lord manifested himself so apparently, that they could not choose but see him, unless they would wittingly shut their eyes, lest they should behold him.
