1Jezebel, as the sacred History testifieth in the .iii. and .iiii. book of Kings, the .xvi. and .xvii. Chap. &c. Was the daughter of Hethbahal king of Sidon, which married to Ahab, brought in the worshipping of Baal into the kingdom of Israel, building a goodly temple in Samaria, & founding a great college of Baal his priests. For Elijah is red to have slain of Baalites .450. even of the kings chaplains, & as it were Canons or prebendaries, and .400. ministers or country chaplains that serveth in hills, woods, & groves. The same woman therefore founded this religion & seeketh to govern the prophesying at her pleasure. For pursuing sore after Elijah, she slew very many of the Prophets: Verily for that they would not teach after the woman's appetite. Moreover ⟨p. 91⟩through Baal his religion was augmented whoredom & all uncleanness. King Jehu objecteth to king Joram her son the whoredoms of his mother. So Jezebel also augmented the eating of meats offered unto idols, & all idolatry throughout the whole kingdom: Even than also, what time the lord in a solemn sacrifice by miracle in mount Carmel through the ministry of Elijah, had declared to yt whole Realm that the religion of Baal was most vain & false, & that the religion of the only God of Israel was most sincere & true: For Jezebel nevertheless persecuted the truth, and established falsehood. Yea moreover she toke upon her government in civil matters.
1Iezabel, as the sacred History testifieth in the .iii. and .iiii. boke of Kinges, the .xvi. and .xvii. Chap. &c. Was the daughter of Hethbahal king of Sidon, whiche maried to Achab, brought in the worshipping of Baal into the kingdom of Israel, building a goodly tēple in Samaria, & founding a great college of Baal his priestes. For Helias is red to haue slain of Baalites .450. euen of the kinges chapplains, & as it were Canons or prebendaries, and .400. ministers or countrie chaplains that serueth in hilles, woodes, & groues. Thesame woman therfore founded this religion & seketh to gouerne the propheciyng at her pleasure. For poursewing sore after Helias, she slewe very many of the Prophetes: Verely for that they would not teache after the womās appetite. Moreouer ⟨p. 91⟩through Baal his religion was augmented whordome & all vncleanes. King Iehu obiecteth to king Ioram her sonne ye whordoms of his mother. So Iezabel also augmēted the eating of meates offered vnto idols, & all idolatrie throughout the whole kingdom: Euen than also, what time the lord in a solemne sacrifice by miracle in mount Carmel through the ministery of Helias, had declared to yt whole Realme that the religion of Baal was moste vaine & false, & that the religiō of thonly God of Israel was most sincere & true: For Iezabel neuerthelesse persecuted ye truth, and established falshod. Yea moreouer she toke vpon her gouernemēt in ciuile matters.
