POLICIE CLXXXIII. Jehu's policy with Baals Priests.

IF you would discover or be ac∣quainted with the secret affe∣ctions and inclinations of any, you may pretend to affect what you thinke▪ you are disposed to, and make their affections yours, and when they observe the same favoured and practised, it will en∣courage them to communicate the more freely.

This is shadowed in that of the Apostle, when he became all to all.

Thus,

Jehu that he might discover the Worshippers of Baal pretended to Ahabs superstition, as though A∣hab had done too little, but he would doe much more, and while all were assembled into the house of the I∣mage, and hee saw the dispositions▪ when they so freely adored, hee thn commanded those appointed to sla them,

2 Kings 10. from 18. to 26.
