A very scarce anti-Methodist satirical poem written in response to a work titled The Dagon of Calvinism, or the Moloch of Decrees.The poem, in witty form, critiques Methodism and Arminianism, comparing it to the idolatrous practices associated with the ancient deity Dagon, with Dagon as a stand-in for "free will" etc., in contradistinction to Dagon being associated with the doctrines of God's sovereign decrees, i.e. Calvinism, in that work.
