1Cirillus and also Procopius upon the book of Numbers, say that these things were instituted of God, to revoke men from the idolatrous worshippings and rites of the Ethnics, that that which they gave unto idols, the Jews should give unto him. So also whereas they sacrificed unto Idols, he would have these men rather to sacrifice unto himself, not that god so much regardeth sacrifices, but to withdraw them from idolatry. We read that the Ethnics sometimes suffered their hear to grow, that they might afterward consecrate it, ether unto the Nymphs, or to Apollo. Wherefore Apollo was by them called [Greek or Hebrew] that is a nourisher of the hear. Yea and Theseus (as it is written in Plutarch) went to Delphos there to dedicate his hear unto Apollo. 2And children at Rome when they were paste childhood, offered their hear and beards to some God. Sophocles writeth that Orestes put his hear in the tomb of his father.3

So also whereas they sacrificed vnto Idols, he would haue these men rather to sacrifice vnto himselfe, not that god so much regardeth sacrifices, but to wythdrawe them from idolatry. We reade that the Ethnikes sometimes suffred theyr heare to growe, that they mighte afterward consecrate it, ether vnto the Nimphes, or to Apollo. Wherefore Apollo was by them called 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 that is a nourisher of the heare. Yea and Theseus (as it is written in Plutarche) went to Delphos there to dedicate his heare vnto Apollo. 2And children at Rome when they were paste childehode, offred theyr heare and beardes to some God. Sophocles writeth that Oreftes put his heare in the tombe of his father.3
