1The Lord seemeth here to me to have alluded to the old story of Jezebel & Ahab for them, as it were cast in a bed, from day to day, ever since they began to worship Baal, he vexed with sickness, and brought them low: And the people that received the religion of Baal, be put to much sorrow, evils and afflictions. Finally their children he brought to a shameful death. Their partakers also were slain, that would have had Baal his religion, safe and sound, and even to have been restored again. For after the death of Ahab his father, not many days after. Ochosias the son of Ahab and Jezebel, ⟨p. 95⟩bruised with an unhappy fall and cast in bed, died .iiii. Reg. Cap. 1. And Joram an other son of Ahab and Jezebel, stricken through with an arrow of Jehu was slain. Athalia the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, the wife of Joram king of Judah, the son of Jehoshaphat, being divided with yt sword of Joiadas, fell down before the gates of the temple. And Ochosias king of Judah, the son of Athalia and Joram, was slain also by the power of Jehu. And after were put to death by the same Jehu, the .lxx. sons of Ahab: And all the priests of Baal are slain together in the temple, and before the Altar of Baal, and not one of so great a number escaped. Yea the temple, the idol, and the service of Baal were quite and clean overthrown. This old marvellous, and wonderful history the Lord calleth to memory, signifying that he liveth yet a revenger, and a punisher: Who will neither overpass the just limit, nor touch the same out of time. For he addeth and all congregations shall know. &c.

Finally their children he brought to a shamefull death. Their partakers also were slaine, that would haue had Baal his religion, safe and sounde, and euen to haue bene restored again. For after the death of Achab his father, not many daies after. Ochosias the sonne of Achab and Iezabel, ⟨p. 95⟩bruised with an vnhappy fall and cast in bed, died .iiii. Reg. Cap. 1. And Ioram an other sonne of Achab and Iezabel, stricken through with an arrowe of Iehu was slaine. Athalia the daughter of Achab and Iezabel, the wife of Ioram kyng of Iuda, the sonne of Iosaphat, being diuided with yt sweard of Ioiadas, fell down before the gates of the temple.
