3. I have showed, that according to Scripture Rhetoric frequently by a Synecdoche a part is put for the whole, and sometimes the far lesser part also. 'Tis said, All the Cattle in Egypt died, Exod. 9. 6. that is, all that were in the Field: Also Christ saith, When he was lifted up he would draw all men unto him, Joh. 12. 32. Doth that intend all universally? So Paul saith, All seek their own: And Christ saith, Ye shall be hated of all men for my name sake. See these Scriptures, Exod. 32. 3, 26. Jer. 6. 3. 1 Cor. 10. 7. Isa. 2. 2, 3. Acts 2. 5. See Glassius Illiricus, and other Tropical Writers: Also read Philologiae Sacra, and our last Annotators on the Holy Bible, called Pool's Annotations, on this Text.
