Memory or the act of remembering is improperly applied to God. For remembrance is of things past, but to God all things are present. Memory is the store-house wherein we lay up several notions, and keep records of what hath been done, which by an act of the understanding we review and fetch out again. All things are ever open before God. He needs not turn leaves or search registers, he needs not so much as strain a thought to recall what is past; that which was from the beginning, and shall be to the end, yea, to that which hath no end, eternity, is always before him. God is said to remember, or to forget when he acts like a man, who remembers or forgets; but there is no act either of forgetfulness, or of remembrance in God.
