I. What is it to forget the word? A man may remember or forget two ways, Notionally and Affectively.
1. Notionally, when the notions of things formerly known, are either altogether, or in part worn out. Jam. 1. 25. He is like one that looks his natural face in a glass, but goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of person he was.
2. Affectively, when though he still retain the notions, yet he is not answerably affected, nor doth act according thereunto. Thus the Butler did not remember Joseph, that is, did not pity him. Thus God is said not to remember the sins of them that repent, when he doth not punish them; and to forget the afflictions of his people, when he doth not deliver them; and we are said to forget God, Psal. 106. 21. when we do not obey him; and to forget his word when we do not remember his commandments to do them,
