• Additions to Esther 13:4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the world there was scattered a certain malicious people, that had laws contrary to all nations, and continually despised the commandments of kings, so as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably intended by us cannot go forward.

• Additions to Esther 14:7 Because we worshipped their gods: O Lord, thou art righteous.

• Additions to Esther 14:19 O thou mighty God above all, hear the voice of the forlorn and deliver us out of the hands of the mischievous, and deliver me out of my fear.
• Additions to Esther 15:1 And upon the third day, when she had ended her prayers, she laid away her mourning garments, and put on her glorious apparel.

• Additions to Esther 15:4 And the other followed, bearing up her train.

• Additions to Esther 16:3 And endeavour to hurt not our subjects only, but not being able to bear abundance, do take in hand to practise also against those that do them good:
• Additions to Esther 16:4 And take not only thankfulness away from among men, but also lifted up with the glorious words of lewd persons, that were never good, they think to escape the justice of God, that seeth all things and hateth evil.
• Additions to Esther 16:5 Oftentimes also fair speech of those, that are put in trust to manage their friends’ affairs, hath caused many that are in authority to be partakers of innocent blood, and hath enwrapped them in remediless calamities:
• Additions to Esther 16:6 Beguiling with the falsehood and deceit of their lewd disposition the innocency and goodness of princes.
• Additions to Esther 16:7 Now ye may see this, as we have declared, not so much by ancient histories, as ye may, if ye search what hath been wickedly done of late through the pestilent behaviour of them that are unworthily placed in authority.
• Additions to Esther 16:8 And we must take care for the time to come, that our kingdom may be quiet and peaceable for all men,
• Additions to Esther 16:9 Both by changing our purposes, and always judging things that are evident with more equal proceeding.

• Additions to Esther 16:13 Having by manifold and cunning deceits sought of us the destruction, as well of Mardocheus, who saved our life, and continually procured our good, as also of blameless Esther, partaker of our kingdom, with their whole nation.

• Additions to Esther 16:17 Wherefore ye shall do well not to put in execution the letters sent unto you by Aman the son of Amadatha.
• Additions to Esther 16:18 For he that was the worker of these things, is hanged at the gates of Susa with all his family: God, who ruleth all things, speedily rendering vengeance to him according to his deserts.
• Additions to Esther 16:19 Therefore ye shall publish the copy of this letter in all places, that the Jews may freely live after their own laws.
• Additions to Esther 16:20 And ye shall aid them, that even the same day, being the thirteenth day of the twelfth month Adar, they may be avenged on them, who in the time of their affliction shall set upon them.
• Additions to Esther 16:21 For Almighty God hath turned to joy unto them the day, wherein the chosen people should have perished.
• Additions to Esther 16:22 Ye shall therefore among your solemn feasts keep it an high day with all feasting:
• Additions to Esther 16:23 That both now and hereafter there may be safety to us and the well affected Persians; but to those which do conspire against us a memorial of destruction.
• Additions to Esther 16:24 Therefore every city and country whatsoever, which shall not do according to these things, shall be destroyed without mercy with fire and sword, and shall be made not only unpassable for men, but also most hateful to wild beasts and fowls for ever.
