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.
