Given that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ is a geometric progression, and the sequence $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic progression, with $a_1 = b_1$, $a_2 = 3$, $a_3 = 9$, and $a_4 = b_{14}$.  
(Ⅰ) Find the general formula for $\{b_n\}$.  
(Ⅱ) Let $c_n = a_n - b_n$, find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{c_n\}$.
