That God doth remember the wickedness of people though long since Obs. 1 committed, as we may see in Amalek, God remembers this their wickedness many hundred years after, 1 Sam. 15.2. I remember the prank which Amalek played to you when you came out of Egypt. Amos, 8.7. The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, surely I will never forget any of their works: nay they are not only remembered, but recorded, the sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, & with the point of a diamond, Jer. 17.1. every oath, every lye, yea and every vain thought which thou hast committed, and continuest in under an impenitent condition, know, that thy sins are remembered; and that thou mayest be sure of it, see what the text saith, Job, 14.17.1 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, 2and thou sewest up my iniquity. They are sealed in a bag; as the Clark of Assizes seals up the indictments of men, and at the Assizes brings his bag and takes them out; even so will God; as God hath his time to seal up mens transgressions in his bag, so he will have his time to take them out to reckon with sinners for them, and then woe to them, Deut. 32.34. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? It is sealed up to be remembered though perhaps committed forty or fifty years ago, and it is thy sin if thou dost not remember them, when and where they were committed, and if thou wilt not, know, that God hath his time to make thee know them.
