here_o two_o thing_n offer_v themselves_o 1._o by_o who_o he_o will_v be_v remember_v 2._o how_o he_o will_v have_v this_o remembrance_n express_v 1._o the_o remembrancer_n desire_v be_v god_n god_n

o_o my_o god_n 2._o he_o turn_v to_o god_n exclusive_o man_n remembrance_n be_v not_o at_o all_o desire_a he_o be_v silent_a of_o that_o and_o only_o beg_v this_o because_o 1._o god_n be_v not_o at_o

very_o well_o expect_v that_o they_o will_v not_o easy_o forget_v he_o or_o if_o they_o do_v he_o know_v it_o will_v be_v their_o own_o fault_n not_o he_o and_o consequent_o the_o ill_n will_v be_v they_o too_o for_o be_v so_o ungrateful_a and_o therefore_o this_o noble_a governor_n be_v above_o their_o flattery_n and_o hunt_v not_o after_o their_o praise_n he_o seek_v no_o monument_n in_o their_o remembrance_n he_o mind_v not_o himself_o in_o do_v they_o good_a nor_o do_v he_o court_v their_o applause_n for_o what_o he_o do_v perform_v reason_n second_o 2._o it_o be_v rational_o probable_a that_o nehemiah_n omit_v any_o desire_n of_o be_v remember_v by_o man_n out_o of_o a_o real_a distrust_n of_o ever_o have_v it_o due_o pay_v for_o if_o god_n be_v forget_v man_n can_v very_o well_o expect_v to_o be_v remember_v and_o they_o who_o be_v too_o usual_o unmindful_a of_o the_o daily_a mercy_n of_o god_n will_v quick_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o kindness_n of_o man_n experience_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o little_a trouble_n or_o hardship_n of_o a_o few_o hour_n blot_v out_o the_o memory_n of_o mercy_n pour_v down_o the_o whole_a life_n before_o by_o god_n if_o israel_n want_v a_o little_a water_n they_o will_v forget_v the_o wonder_n of_o egypt_n a_o little_a bad_a news_n or_o a_o wanton_a desire_n of_o flesh_n or_o a_o few_o day_n absence_n of_o moses_n make_v they_o all_o dance_n after_o a_o calf_n well_o therefore_o may_v the_o magistrate_n distrust_v a_o remembrance_n of_o man_n since_o man_n thus_o easy_o forget_v his_o god_n magistrate_n who_o move_v in_o a_o open_a sphere_n though_o never_o so_o sweet_a and_o please_a in_o their_o influence_n yet_o accidental_o may_v attract_v some_o unquiet_a exhalation_n and_o if_o they_o displease_v but_o once_o that_o one_o ungrateful_a action_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n remember_v and_o therefore_o as_o every_o pious_a prudent_a christian_a secure_v to_o himself_o a_o more_o faithful_a repository_n for_o his_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n because_o he_o find_v the_o moth_n and_o the_o rust_n break_v through_o all_o on_o earth_n so_o good_a nehemiah_n because_o he_o find_v man_n gross_o ignorant_a causeless_o querulous_a unconstant_a in_o their_o affection_n and_o ungrateful_a for_o kindness_n and_o favour_n receive_v therefore_o he_o think_v not_o fit_a to_o rely_v upon_o their_o
