Verse 12
12. All manner of Greek, all, by which we are not to understand all that ever existed, nor every kind or manner; but all without any discrimination of clean or unclean, a sufficient universality for the purpose in hand.
Wild beasts These words are rejected by the best authorities.
Creeping things Insects, reptiles, testacea, and even, according to Jewish classification, fishes. For why Lechler should insist that the all means a universality because this is a trance, and so able to include an impossibility, and yet should say that fishes are excluded, it is difficult to guess. The sheet might to the so entranced eye as easily include an ocean with all its finny and finless tribes as an earth with all its animal tribes.
