Hitherunto he hath spoken only to the Jews,1 as if salvation appertained to none but them. Now he extends his speech further off: for he calls a great audience to him, even the whole world, to partake of the hope of salvation: and therewithal condemns all nations of unthankfulness, if in giving themselves still to be seduced with errors, they obstinately shunned the clear light which was offered. For can a man commit a greater sin, then directly to reject his own salvation?
