Verse 13. — 'Although Thou concealest these things in Thy heart, yet I know that Thou rememberest all.' 82. The calling of the Gentiles hidden in the counsel of God. — As if he openly said: Why do I tremble concerning myself, who know that Thou wilt gather in all the nations also? Yet this Thou concealest in Thy heart, because Thou dost not yet declare it in open speech. But Thou who dost remember all, dost without doubt make me certain of pardon. But it is to be known that in certain deeds we are both rendered certain of pardon, and, after faults committed, are strengthened unto the confidence of our absolution by correction and penance following after; yet we are still touched by the memory of our wickedness committed, and, turned away and unwilling, we are assailed by unlawful thought.
