Here is set forth the consecration of an other Priest. For by chance there cometh a young man of the tribe of Levi, whom Micah hireth to minister in his holy services, and removeth his son from the priesthood. And the Levite sojourned to find out a place where he might get his living, for he desired a state of life. Micah receiveth him to be his priest. By this History is gathered,1 ye idolatrous worshippings, although they be contrary to the institution of god, yet they enterprise as much as may be, that they may be like unto it. For even as Apes will seem to be men, although they be not men in deed, so idolaters, although they worship not the true God, yet they will seem to worship him. For they labour to retain some show of his worshipping as much as may be. So Micah, that he might seem to worship the true God rightly, instituted an Ephod, a temple, and a Priesthood. Lastly, because he would not much stray from the institution of God, he ordereth a Levite over his holy services and ceremonies.
