Esther prayed against the spiteful attempt of Haman, and that she and her people, which were also Gods people, might be preserved from the deadly 1snare, which he had laid for their lives. But what did the Lord? He not only saved them, but utterly destroyed, and cut clean off, in a most shameful and reproachful manner, both Haman and all his seed. So, the woman of ⟨p. 8⟩2Canaan asked of Christ help for her daughter possessed with a devil: but 3he granted unto her, beside that she asked, even what she would. And we 4know, that when the prodigal son, in his penury and misery, being glad to refresh himself, and fill his belly with swines food, desired that he might be received, but as a servant into his fathers house: and he was entertained, and taken in as a son, and nothing of the costliest apparel, and daintiest food was thought too good for him.
