7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:



Ver. 7. For every kind of beasts, &c.] {See Trapp on "Heb_2:7"} Some creatures indeed may be taken, but not tamed, as the tiger, panther, monoceros, of which last it is testified, quod interimi potest, capi non potest; slain he may be, but not taken. Such unruly talkers and deceivers the Church is pestered with, Tit_1:10; 1Th_5:14; sons of Belial, untamable, untractable, untouchable, unteachable, 2Sa_23:6-7 1Sa_25:17.
