It is good to remember God as our maker.
Man would not make such ill work in the world, if he remembered God his maker, or that himself is the work of God. We should remember God our maker; First, as to our being, as from him we receive life and breath. Secondly, as to our well-being, as from him we receive all good things, both for this life and a better. (Eccles: 12.1.) Remember now thy creator (not only that God is a creator, but thy creator, remember this) in the days of thy youth; And surely if thou rememberest him well, thou wilt not forget thy self so much as to forget the duty which thou owest him. Think often upon thy maker, and then this thought will be upon thee always, If I owe my self wholly unto God for making me in nature, how much more do I owe my self unto God, for making me a new creature. We ought to live wholly to him from whom we have received our lives. He that hath made us should have the use of us. He hath made all things for himself, ⟨p. 134⟩(Prov: 16.4.) chiefly man, who is the chief of all visibles which he hath made. Those two memento's, That we are made by the power of God, and that the price by which we are redeemed is the blood of God, should constrain us at all times and in all things to be at the call and command of God. My Maker Would soon take me away.

Secondly, as to our well-being, as from him we receive all good things, both for this life and a better. (Eccles: 12.1.) Remember now thy creator (not only that God is a creator, but thy creator, remember this) in the dayes of thy youth; And surely if thou remembrest him well, thou wilt not forget thy selfe so much as to forget the duty which thou owest him. Thinke often upon thy maker, and then this thought will be upon thee alwayes, If I owe my selfe wholly unto God for making me in nature, how much more doe I owe my selfe unto God, for making me a new creature. We ought to live wholly to him from whom we have received our lives. He that hath made us should have the use of us. He hath made all things for himselfe,
