it displeased him] Joseph failed in binding Gods grace to the order of nature: Joseph was for the eldest sonnes preeminence, but Gods blessings goe not by a carnall seniority, but by spirituall grace, and choyce; so Abel, Sem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judab, and Joseph being younger, were preferred in favour before Cain, Japhet, Haran, Ishmael, Esau, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, their elder brethren: in this difference betwixt Jacob and Joseph we may note that betwixt the holiest and worthiest persons in neerest relations, as betwixt Jacob, and Joseph, there may be difference in opinion, affection, and endevour for a time. See Galatians 2:11. Acts 15:39.
