Seems to me that since "such as" is defined as those who "in all ages, & places of the world do profess the true Religion; &, of their children," that therefore the variant introduces no difference in the meaning -- the "all" is implied in the first reading and simply made explicit in the second reading.

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
