As for the restraint of the universal all men, in the place of Timothy, by S. Austin unto genera singulorum, it is according to the usual Scripture phrase. For Matth. 3. 5. it is said that There went out unto John the Baptist Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan; what sober Divine doth extend the signification hereof any father then to give to understand, that some from all parts of Judea, and of the region round about Jordan had resort unto him? Matth. 4. 23. it is likewise said, that Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people; and that his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought unto him all sick people. Do you think there was not one sick person left in all Galilee and Syria that was not brought unto him? Act. 10. it is said, that while Peter was in a trance he saw in a vision a vessel let down from heaven, wherein was [Greek or Hebrew], every four-footed beast; who doubts but that the meaning hereof is no more then this, that of all sorts some, or rather of most sorts some? 1 Cor. 15. 22. it is said, that in Christ all shall be made alive; is this true think you of all and every one? All flesh shall see the salvation of God; what sober man will apply this to all and every man? Rom. 5. 18. As by the offence of one man the fault came upon all unto condemnation: so by the obedience of one, righteousness came upon all men, to the justification of life: will you hereupon extend the benefit of Christs death to the justification of all men unto everlasting life, like as all and every one are fallen into condemnation by the sin of Adam? Rom. 7. 8. the Apostle professeth that sin wrought in him [Greek or Hebrew], can this possibly be applied to every particular concupiscence?
