When Michah had got a Levite into his house,1 Now (saith he) I know the Lord will be good unto me, seeing I have a Levite in my house: So many think, when they have gotten a Preacher into their parish; Now the Lord will be good unto us, now Christ will love us, now we are good sons, seeing we maintain a Preacher amongst us. But Michah was not blessed for a Levite, nor you for a Preacher: but as you would have us do as we teach, so God would have you do as you hear: for you shall be no more saved for hearing, ⟨p. 254⟩than we are for speaking.
