Whereas the virtuous Queen Esther beholding how she was the only hope and help under God of the 1Churches deliverance from Hamans plot and devising to wast and destroy it utterly; took upon her the going about it, though it was with most likely peril of her life, and that without the hurt of any one beside; saying in so doubtful a case, If I perish, I perish. Yea Saul himself, who yet had no commendation ⟨p. 171⟩through the story for uprightness and goodness, would not suffer any of the murmurers and repiners against his entering in, to be punished at his first coming to his kingdom, as some would have had it, but 2chose rather to put up the disgrace, saying: there shall no man die this day; for to day the Lord hath saved Israel. And this by occasion of Ehuas sending the people away that went with him, being the first of the three things mentioned, to be contained in these 3. verses.
