It is a privilege, and a very great one to be a remembrancer to the king of heaven. The Prophet describes such an office (Isa. 62.6.) Ye that make mention of the Lord, or nearer the Hebrew, Ye that are the Lords remembrancers, keep not silence, and give him no rest. Great Princes have an officer called their Remembrancer, and they need remembrancers. It is at once their honour and their weakness to have them. They cannot retain all businesses, and preserve a record within themselves of all affairs within their Kingdoms: It is an honour to God that he hath remembrancers, but it is his greater honour that he hath no need of them. Himself is the living record of all that hath been done, or is to be done. Knowledge is above memory, and he that knows all things is above remembrancers. God is willing we should speak to him after the manner of men: but we must not conceive of him after the manner of men. We must not think he hath forgotten us, though we may beseech him to remember us.

There are four things which the Saints usually move the Lord to remember.
