Fourthly, There's no need of Images to keep Gods remembrance; the glorious Titles of God and his Attributes, 1and the Manifestation of Himself in his Works, is the best Memorial of God; that's our way, the way of man to make to himself Memorials. God hath made himself a Memorial. When you read in the Word this glorious Title of God, Jehovah, it's a better Memorial of God than all the Images in the world are, and we may better Sanctify Gods Name, and have our hearts better wrought upon by such Titles of God, than by all kind of Images whatsoever.

- 1Obs. 4.
The Fifth Note, When God manifests himself in his Glory, it's not only for the present that men now might see his Glory, 1but it is that he may be remembered from Generation to Generation, from one to another, from one time of our life to another, and so from one Age to another; so here, the Lord of Hosts, Jehovah is his memorial, as if he should say, the Lord manifests himself Jehovah thus and thus, and he would be remembered in other Ages to be so; what God doth to his people in one Age, he doth not expect only to have his Name sanctified for that present, but he would have it laid up from Age to Age, and would be honoured in all Generations from those great manifestations of himself in some one Age.
