^{1 /} Ebr. the Kings slepe departed.

^{3 a} For he thoght it vnworthie his estate to receiue a benefite, & not reward it.

^{4 b} Thus, while the wicked imagine the destruction of others, thei them selues fall into he same pit.

^{8 e} Meaning hereby, that the King shulde make him next vnto him self, as Joseph hereby was knowen to be next to Pharaoh, {Gen 41,42}

^{10 !} And commandeth Harman, to cause Mordecai to be had in honour.

^{13 d} Thus God sometime putteth in the mouthe of the very wicked, to speake that thing, which he hathe decreed shal come to passe.
