* Write this for a memoriall in a booke] In the Chronicles or Annals of the time, that the wickednesse of Amalek, in assaulting Gods people, may be remembred for revenge, untill they be all rooted out: here is the first mention of writing of a booke, there might for all that be writing of Bookes before Moses his time, as of Enochs prophecie mentioned, Judg. 16. which some cite as a written Volume, yet the Apostle might have that he citeth in Enochs name, out of some other later Booke which now is not extant; or by the spirit of revelation, which discovereth things past, as well as to come, as the history of the Creation sheweth. Exodus 34:27. the remembrance of Amalek] Deuteronomy 25:19. 1 Samuel 15. Not that it should never be remembred, that there was such a man, or not such a people, (as appeareth by the precedent Note) but that their houses, castles, and other memorials of their greatnesse, and honour, shall be demolished, razed and ruined: and they either not remembred at all, or not without detestation and disgrace; which is worse then a meere oblivion, or silent forgetfulnesse.
