Then came back on him the thought of what Simon and Guy had made themselves; the thought of his father's grief at former doings of theirs, which had fallen so far short of the atrocity of this. He knew that his father had rather have seen each one of his five sons slain, or helpless cripples like the firstborn, than have been thus avenged.
"Well I knew you would say so, and so I told my lord," exclaimed Robert. "Thou didst, quotha? Without doubt the Duke was greatly reassured by thy testimony," said his father drily, while the mother, full of pride and exultation in her goodly firstborn son, could not but exclaim, "Daunt him not, my lord; he has done well thus to be sent home in charge."
But on a second thought she held it forth gently in her two hands. "I never meant to hurt 'en, Aun' Mary," she said. "But a firstborn's a firstborn, be we gentle or simple." In the darkness a pair of invisible hands reached forward and took her hostage.
"And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger." Luke ii. 7. "Christ formed in you." Gal. iv. 19. The life of Jesus Christ in Palestine was a foreshadowing of His life in all who accept Him.

John had deferred his journey to the last moment, in order to stand godfather to Nancy's healthy firstborn.
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
