Sin may be the occasion of great sorrow, where there is no sorrow for sin- as it was with Esau. - Men may rue that in the consequents, which yet they like well enough in the causes. Obs. 5. No man knows whereunto a deliberate sin may lead him, nor what will be the event of it. Esau little thought, when he sold his birthright, that he had utterly forfeited the eternal blessing. Obs. 6.

It shall not be spared in the eldest son and most dearly beloved of an Isaac.
