It is extended throughout the world, to every patch and inch of it. What David saith of the Sun (Psal: 19.6.) His going forth is from the end of heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The same may we say of the circuit of Gods power, there is nothing hid from, nor set beyond it. There is a four-fold universality of the power of God.

First, In regard of persons (Psal: 97.9.) Thou Lord art high above all the earth, thou art exalted far above all Gods; that is, above the Kings and powers of the earth; whom the Scripture calleth Gods. If God hath a power over the Kings of the earth, then surely over the people of the earth; yea God is not only exalted and far exalted above this or that God or King, but above them all; This is a supremacy with utmost universality.

Secondly, His power is universal, as to places, and nations; some places claim privilege, and are exempt from the jurisdiction of Princes, if obnoxious persons get thither, they are free from the course of the Law. There were Cities of refuge among the Jews, and Sanctuaries in the days of old among us, where evil-doers could not be touched. But the power of the Lord reacheth all places, even to the horns of the Altar (Psal: 83.18.) Thou whose name alone is Jehovah, art most high over all the earth.
