The book of Esther is peculiarly the book of Providence. In it we see the people of God providentially brought to the very brink of ruin, and delivered without a single miracle. The means employed by their enemies to effect their destruction are by Providence employed as the means of their exaltation and glory. The hand of God in his ordinary Providence has linked together a course of events as simple and as natural as the mind can conceive, yet as surprising as the boldest fictions of romance. This subject I have handled in a separate work, and shall take no farther notice of it in this place.
