Every wicked man is forgetful of God. Hence we find these put together, Psal. 9.17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the Nations that forget God: But this is the special character of an hypocrite, he is a forgetter of God. Consider this (saith the Psalmist) ye that forget God; that is, ye hypocrites consider this ([…] 50.22) for he speaks of such as had taken their covenant of God in their mouths; What hast thou to do (vers. 16.) to take my Covenant ⟨p. 80⟩in thy mouth? As if he had said, thou professest to be in Covenant with me, to have an interest in me, Yet when thou sawest a thief, then thou consentest with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers, thou givest thy mouth to evil, &c. Hypocrites take the Covenant of God in their mouths, but cast it out of their lives, God is near in their mouths, but from their reins (Jer. 12.2.) If the hypocrite did not forget, that God is about his bed, and about his path, and espieth out all his ways, he could not be so false with God, so polluted in his ways, so rotten in his inward parts. If an hypocrite did not forget, that God being a spirit delighteth to be worshipped in Spirit, he would never be satisfied in worshipping him with his body. If he did not forget that God is jealous, that he will not hold them guiltless who take his name in vain, he durst not (which is his every days work) take the name of God in vain.
