21^ From hence began that plot, the nation's curre, Bad in itfelf, but reprefented worfe ; RaisM in extremes, and in extremes decryM ; With oaths aBSirmM, with dying vows dcny'd .; Not weighed nor winnowM by the multitude ; But fwallow'd in the mafs, unchewM and crude.
Some truth there was, but daftiM and brew'd with lies, 'l"o pleafe the fools, and puzzle all the wife.
Succeeding times did equal folly call.
Believing nothing, or believing all.
Th' Egyptian rites the Jebufites embraced ; Wheve ...gods were recommended by their tafte.
Sue' I favoury deities muft needs be good.
As fervM at once for worfliip and for food.
By force they could not introduce thefe gods j For ten to one in former days was ocUls.
So fraud was usM, the facrificer's trade : Fools are more hard to conquer than perfuade.
Their bufy teachers mingled with the Jews, And i-ak'd for converts cv'n the court and ftews : Which Hebrew priefts the more unkindly took, Becaufe the fleece accompanies the flock.
Some thought th^y God's anointed meant to flay By guns, invented fince full many a day : Our author fwears it not j but who can know How far the devil and Jebufites may go ?
