1The Apostle speaks of Esau what his guise was. Heb. 12.6. and saith, Take heed that none of you be such as Esau, lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birth-right. Now if thou prove a fornicator thou art of the seed of Esau, or a profane person; what is that? for one morsel of meat he sold his birth-right, that is, to please, and satisfy and content the flesh he sold his birth-right, that was ⟨p. 244⟩the land of Canaan; & so typified the privileges of the Church of God, and even a type of heaven it was. His birth-right had a spiritual meaning, it had reference to the spiritual privileges, that the Saints of God have to this day in all the ordinances of God.
