"On what pretence could then the Vulgar Rage Against his worth and native rights engage?
Religious fears their Argument are made,
Religious fears his sacred rights invade!
Of future Superstition they complain,
And Jebusitic worship in his reign:
With such alarms his foes the crowd deceive,
With dangers fright-which not themselves believe."
-Absalom and Achitophel, Part II., lines 647-654.
