Salute all them, &c.] Vers. 24 Seeing he writes this Epistle in common to all the Hebrews, it is a wonder why he requires that they should by name salute some of them, as if they were separated from the rest. But in my judgement, he directs this salutation particularly to the Leaders, by way of giving honour unto them, to the end he might grow into acquaintance with them, and might the more mildly induce them with good consent to entertain the doctrine. When he ads, And to all the Saints: Either he means the faithful which were of the Gentiles, to the end that both Jews and Gentiles might learn to nourish and entertain a godly union together: or he aims at this, to wit, that they which should receive this Epistle first, should communicate the same unto others.

But in my iudgement, he directs this salutation particularly to the Leaders, by way of giuing honour vnto them, to the ende he might grow into acquaintance with them, and might the more mildly enduce them with good consent to entertaine the doctrine. When he ads, And to all the Saints: Either he meanes the faithfull which were of the Gentiles, to the ende that both Iewes and Gentiles might learne to nourish and entertaine a godly vnion together: or he aimes at this, to wit, that they which should receiue this Epistle first, should communicate the same vnto others.
Because the 25. verse hath been expounded in the end of the other Epistles, therefore it is omitted here. Notwithstanding, for their sakes, who it may be, want his other commentaries, I have thought good briefly to supply that lack out of his commentary upon the Epistle to the Romans, Chap. 16. ver. 20.
