Esther4:9
Verſe 9. And Hatach came, and told Eſther] He acted the part of a faithful meſſenger: ſo muſt Miniſters thoſe ſervants of the Churches, declare unto the people all the minde of God, Acts 20.27. and not ſteal Gods word every one from his neighbour, Jer. 23.30. not deal deceitfully with it, but as of ſincerity, but as of God, in the ſight of God, let them ſpeak in Chriſt; and let them ſpeak out, not fearing any colours. He that hath my Word, let him ſpeak my Word faithfully, ſaith God, Jer. 23.28. Aarons Bells were all of gold, the Trumpets of the Sanctuary were of pure ſilver: they did not (as thoſe inverſe Trumpets of Furius Fulvius ſound a retreat, when they ſhould have ſounded an alarm: No more muſt Gods Meſſengers. Whatſoever the Lord ſaith unto me, 1 Cor. 11. Heb. 3.5. that will I ſpeak, ſaith Michaiah. Paul; as he received what he delivered, ſo he delivered whatſoever he received. Moſes was faithful in all Gods houſe, &c.
