The means of making this a memorial is writing it in a 1book. Things written remain. Herein lieth a difference betwixt speaking and writing, that things uttered by 2speech, if they be not at the time of uttering fast laid up in a strong memory, they vanish in the air; or if they be not remembered, they only who are then present when they are uttered, have the benefit of that uttering. But things written remain again and again to be read: to be read by those that are present at the writing, or far absent: yea, not only at that time but in future ages. Thus, that the covenant which the Israelites made with God might not vanish with ⟨p. 298⟩the making of it, bthey write it. And that all people near at hand and far off might take notice of the decree both for destroying, and also for rescuing the Jews, the cone, and the dother decree were both written. And that future ages might reap benefit by the mercy of God manifested in former ages, it is said, eThis shall be written for the generation to come.
