Answ. The law of the regality (as I may so speak) and preheminency of the first borne was under those words ordained: and therefore a younger brother was made a subject to his elder, while he remained in the family, as a son to the father. The elder brother was as a lord over his other brothers: whereupon when Isaac conferred the right of the first borne upon Jacob (thinking he had been his eldest son Esau) he used these words, Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy ¹mothers sons bow down to thee. Which being so, questionless the younger brother might not simply without or directly against the elder brothers consent dispose the goods of the family: so as this objection more strongly establisheth the forenamed argument.
