The author of "Azaria and Hushal" is generally assumed to be Samuel Pordage. However, both it and this work are sometimes attributed Elkanah Settle.

A verse reply to John Dryden's "Absalom and Achitophel", and "The medal", both of which are attacks on the earl of Shaftesbury.--Cf. NUC.

Pages 1-8 (first sequence) are "The epistle to the Tories".
