Because of the diversity of names, whereby they used to name their Kings, and the suppulation of years, wherein the Ebrewes, and the Grecians do vary, divers authors write diversely as touching this Ahashuerósh, but it seemeth Daniél 6.1, and 9.1 that he was Darius King of the Medes, and son of Astyages, called also Ahashuerósh, which was a name of honour, and signified great and chief, as chief head. Herein is declared the great mercies of God toward his Church, who never faileth them in their greatest dangers, but when all hope of worldly help faileth, he ever stirreth up some, by whom he sendeth comfort, and deliverance. Herein also is described the ambition, pride and cruelty of the wicked, when they come to honour, and their folly is full when they are at highest, and how God preserveth, and preferreth them which are zealous of his glory, and have a care and love toward their brethren.
