- aRev. 1. 1, 3.
The Lord that determineth all things to fall out according to the counsel of his own will, determineth also means for accomplishing the same. Now, by a heedful remembrance of the things determined being by God revealed, as in time we observe means for executing that which we know to be determined, we may be instruments in accomplishing the good pleasure of the Lord: which we can not so well do, if the thing it self be out of mind and memory. For this very end were there memorials of this purpose of God against Amalek, that by remembrance of that purpose, as occasions in time to come were offered, they might do what in them lay to root out Amalek.
