<i>Shak.</i>

<note>&hand; When the definite article "the," or a possessive or a demonstrative pronoun, is joined to the noun that <i>all</i> qualifies, <i>all</i> precedes the article or the pronoun; as, <i>all</i> the cattle; <i>all</i> my labor; <i>all</i> his wealth; <i>all</i> our families; <i>all</i> your citizens; <i>all</i> their property; <i>all</i> other joys.</note>

<note>This word, not only in popular language, but in the Scriptures, often signifies, indefinitely, a large portion or number, or a great part. Thus, <i>all</i> the cattle in Egypt died, <i>all</i> Judea and <i>all</i> the region round about Jordan, <i>all</i> men held John as a prophet, are not to be understood in a literal sense, but as including a large part, or very great numbers.</note>
