On Baals Priests.

IEhu's crown'd King; Iehu the King must fall To Ahabs Gods: Iehu must worship Baal: The gods-divided people must goe call Baals sacred Priests: Iehu must worship Baal: None must be left behinde; They must come all; Iehu must burne a Sacrifice to Baal: The Priests come puffing in; both great and small Must wait on Iehu that must worship Baal: Baals house is fill'd and crouded to the wall With people, that are come to worship Baal.
