First, To Remember this Love. O Christians, be sure that you never forget such love as this, Cant. 1. 4. We will remember thy love more than Wine: this is the duty that I am pressing you to, thus to remember Christs love. Brethren, methinks it should be impossible for you to forget such love as this. Methinks it should be needless to bid you remember this love. Let my right hand forget her cunning rather than I should forget the love of Christ. Let my tongue forget to speak, rather than not to speak of this love. We should sooner forget to eat than for get Christ. And yet how apt are we notwithstanding, though we have to• much reason to remember him, to have ⟨p. 201⟩the memory of Christ and his love out of our minds! the memory of Christ should be written upon us in Marble and Brass, never to be blotted out. Consider this love is a mindful, and a memorable love.
