Conclusion 2.

'Tis a Practical Remembrance of Divine Truths, which they that have their Lives in their Hands are to be most concerned for. Let Remembering and Practising go Hand in Hand, since you have your Life in your Hand. It is said in Numb. 15.39. Remember all the Commandments of the Lord, and Do them. Behold, God has joined these two, and what God has joined, Let no man put asunder. The Best Remembrance is that which produces Repentance. 'Twas said in Matth. 26.75. Peter Remembered the words of the Lord Jesus; and he went out and wept bitterly. Thus we should so Remember the Law of God, as to weep for all our violations of it; weep and Mourn and Bleed at the Thoughts of our own Unanswerableness thereunto. And, the Best Remembrance is that which produces Obedience. 'Twas said, in Psal. 22.27. They shall Remember, and Turn unto the Lord. Thus we should so Remember the Law of God, as to Turn from all our ⟨p. 16⟩own Behaviours that are contrary thereunto to Turn from all Sin to God in Christ for ever. A little of this Remembering will go further than the Largest and Longest Repetition else. A Pious Person being asked, What do you Remember of the last Sermon? Replied, I don't Remember much; but so much I do Remember that I shall Endeavour to mend a miscarriage that the Sermon convinced me of. That was Well Remembered! Tho' your Memories may serve you like a Sieve that seemed full while it was in the Water, but has nothing in it, immediately on its Taking out; yet therein however let them be like the Sieve, that they shall be made pure and clean by the Waters of Life that are passing thorough them. This is the Remembrance which you are to be most ambitious of.
