I have found a variant in the larger catechism. Without looking it up to see what the printed text is, does anyone see any difference in the following two readings.

[62] Qu: What is the Visible Church?

Ans: The Visible Church is a society made up of SUCH as, in all ages, & places of the world do profess the true Religion; &, of their children.

[62] Qu: What is the Visible Church?

Ans: The Visible Church is a society made up of ALL SUCH as, in all ages, & places of the world do profess the true Religion; &, of their children.

Does the added "ALL" in the second reading serve any grammatical and thus theological purpose; or are the two answers identical? Or does it add any additional theological statement.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
