Esther7:2
Verſe 2. And the King ſaid again unto Eſther] He was very deſirous to know what her ſuit was; and with thought thereof, as it may ſeem, could not reſt the night before. He purſueth his deſires, not a little edged by her delayes; neither was he of thoſe lusks, who Remque aliquam exoptant, intabeſcúntque relictâ. His love to Eſther made him ask again, What is thy petition, and what is thy requeſt, &c? He preſſeth her to ſpeak out, ſo doth God his Suppliants. Hitherto ye have asked nothing, ask that your joy may be full. Pray that ye may joy; ye are not ſtraitened in me, but in your own bowels: as, if no water come by the conduit, it is not becauſe there is none in the ſpring, but becauſe the pipes are broken. See the Note on chapter 5.6.
