John Trapp on Esther 9:32

Verſe 32. And the decree of Eſther confirmed, &c.] Dux foemina facti. Money was coined in the yeare eighty eight in honour of Queen Elizabeth, with that Poſie inſcribed. The like may be here ſaid of Queen Eſther, yea, we may adde that in the Goſpel, ſpoken concerning another. Where ever this hiſtory ſhall be read in all the world, this that ſhe hath done, ſhall be ſpoken of to her eternal commendation.

And it was written in the book] Tremellius rendreth it thus, When therefore the Edict of Eſther had confirmed theſe things, it was written in this book. Lyra and others thus. She requeſted the wiſe men of that age, that they would reckon this Hiſtory for holy Writ. If it be meant of any other publike record, which the Jewes then had, it is loſt: as are likewiſe ſome other pieces which never were any part of the holy Scriptures: for God by his Providence ever took care and courſe, that no one haire of that ſacred head ſhould fall to the ground. That unſound conceit of Pellican here, is by no meanes to be admitted, viz. That this latter part of the chapter from verſe 25. to the end, came from the pen of ſome other man, not guided by the Spirit of God, and that becauſe here is no mention made of praiſing God at this feaſt, or ſtirring up one another to truſt in him. For we know that all Scripture is of divine inſpiration, and it is to be preſumed that thoſe things were done at ſuch ſolemnities, though it be not recorded in each particular.
