If you don't Remember what you said, GOD Remembers it; it is all down in the Book of His Remembrance. Perhaps, New Dangers and Sorrows are coming upon you, to bring it unto your own Remembrance; In the latter Days ye shall consider it!
I must now pass on to a Second Remark. But, one that is a Lamentation, and shall be for a Lamentation.
Secondly; Men use quickly to Forget how Devout they were, when their Dangers were upon them. 'Twas all but a Religious Pang. Ah, Deceitful Pang! like the Morning Cloud, and the Early Dew; It passes away. We read of some, Psal. CVI. 13. They soon forgot His Works. Even so, Men soon Forget what workings they had in their own Hearts, when they saw the Hand of GOD lifted up to smite them.
