It is a good thing to be thankful, and to praise the Name of the most high: the servants of God find cause of thankfulness in consideration of the great & wonderful mercies continually poured upon them. Moses commanded Nisan ⟨image 34⟩1to be the first month in the year, because God had delivered Israel from the hand of Pharaoh in that month. In like sort Mordecai the Jew, and Esther the Queen, sent letters 2unto all the Jews that were through all the provinces of the king Assuerus both near & far, enjoying them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar with joy and feasting, for that upon that day God had delivered them from the hand of Haman: and that they would not fail to observe the fame every year.
