Ye that are the Lords remembrancers (so we put in the Margin, and in the Text) ye that make mention of the Lord, &c. The Lord will have us to be his remembrancers. And though he is ever mindful of his Covenant, yet he liketh it well to be put in mind of it. But O what need have we of a remembrancer, to put us in mind of the work of God, and to magnify his work! We need a daily remembrancer to put us in mind of what we should do, how much more of what God hath done! We need to be minded of that which 'tis a wonder how we can forget, our latter end, or how frail we are; how much more do we need to be minded of those duties which fit us for our latter end, and lead us to those enjoyments which never end!
