A Body of Practical Divinity

Fifthly, God remembers all our Deeds of Charity, and takes them kindly at our Hands. Heb. 6.10. God is not unrighteous to forget your labour of Love which ye have showed towards his Name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints. The Chief Butler may forget Joseph's Kindness, but the Lord will not forget any kindness we ⟨p. 367⟩show to his People. Mat. 25.35. I was an hungered and ye gave me Meat, Thirsty and ye gave me Drink. Christ takes the kindness done to his Saints as done to himself. God that hath a Bottle for your Tears, hath a Book to write down your Alms. Mal. 3.16. A Book of Remembrance was written before him. Tamerlane had a Register to write down all the Names, and good Service of his Soldiers: So God hath a Book of Remembrance to write down all your Charitable Works, and at the Day of Judgment there shall be an open and honourable mention made of them in the Presence of the Angels.
