1. In a general extent unto all, over whom he retaineth an absolute sovereignty, having made them, and continuing to sustain and govern them: for in him all live, and move, and have their being, Acts 17. 28. 2. In a peculiar respect the Lord is their God, and takes them for his people, of whom he takes an especial care to bring them to eternal life. Of these it is said, ye are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, 1 Pet. 2. 9. By this distinction we may see how God is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe, 1 Tim. 4. 10.
