Note 101 — III. THE OBJECTIONS.
Reading edition
A parallel case, to a certain extent, may be seen in Judges xvii. 5, 6, 13. &c. The priesthood of the Lord was associated partly with idolatrous worship. Micah had graven images and teraphim, yet he, with a Levite for a Priest, was partly blessed by God. It is not for us to say how far God may bless those who are not strictly obeying Him; nevertheless we must not calculate on this. Obedience is still a duty.
