2. Liber Memory, the book of Gods memory, wherein all things done by men, whether good or evil, are registered. dA book of remembrance was written before GOD, for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon his Name. eThe books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of Life. Hence it is plain, that there are other books besides the book of Life. This is that which manifesteth all secrets, whether mental, oral, or actual. fWhereby GOD shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, be it good or evil. This Book shall be opened in that day, gwhen God shall judge the secrets of all hearts by Jesus Christ.
