In some of these cases the elder had forfeited his right of primogenitureship by transgression, as [[Esau]] and Reuben, but not so the others. The cause of the proceeding of God's providence may be conjectured to have been twofold- first, as a memorial of the sin of Cain, first-born of Adam, by which [[Seth]] and his posterity were preferred before them; and, secondly, as a type of the future preference of the Christian, or younger Church, before the Jewish, or elder Church, in consequence of the forfeiture of the latter by unbelief.
