in the sight of all flesh beloued of God and men His memoriall is blessed There is a remembrance of iniuries whereas the best remedy of an iniury is forgetting And at Athens it was enacted a decree obliuionis iniuriarum of forgetting of iniuries for when Thrasibulus had freed the Citie of thirty Tyrants and restored it to peace hee made a Law that none should remember any iniuries past which the Athenians call the Law of obliuion and this we reade of the Emperour Augustus who though of a most tenacious and retentiue memory Iniurias tamen cum primis obliuisceretur could yet forget wrongs as soone as they were offered To this end is that remembrance thou shalt not auenge nor beare any grudge against the children of thy people that remember thy end and let enmity passe that as when Bees fight the casting of a little dust vpon them endeth their strife so the remembrance of our end by common mortality in pestilence or otherwise still toling for the last gaspe should ring out the death of malice burie all wrongs in the graue of obliuion neuer to rise vp againe But I must not forget the remembrance of God the remembrance of vs here Hee remembreth his mercie and truth towards Israel Hee remembreth vs and visiteth vs and reuengeth vs of our persecutors hee taketh vs not away in his long suffering Hee being gracious and full of compassion hath made his wonderfull workes to be remembred Therefore hee commanded that a golden pot of Manna should be kept to remember what bread the children of Israel had in the wildernes The Sacrament of the Lords supper is a remembrance of the death passion of our blessed Sauiour All the feasts enioyned Israel required of them a memoriall of Gods benefits done vnto them The twelue Cakes on the pure table before the Lord were for a memoriall Dauid appointed the Leuites to record and to thanke and praise the Lord God of Israel They that escaped of the sword when they were scattered were to remember him among the Nations The two stones vpon the shoulder of the Ephod were for a memoriall vnto Aaron Ieremie remembring his afflictions miserie and wormewood and Gall his soule was humbled yet he hoped Ionas remembred the Lord and his soule fainted when no doubtfull earthly naturall helpe could release him when his father mother friend land sea his soule all had forsaken him yet the Lord tooke him vp and gaue him better hope Isai made mention of the louing kindnes of the Lord and the praises of the Lord his great goodnesse and multitude of louing kindnesses Neuer did Dauid more truly remember Ierusalem If I forget thee O Ierusalem let my right hand forget her cunning If I doe not remember thee let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth a greater torment hee wished not to his enemie in the Poet Nec possis captas inde referre manus Sic fit in exitium lingua proterua tuum God hath plagues in store for them that forget him They shall bee deliuered into the hands of their enemies as the Israelites forgetting the Lord were sold into the hands of Sisera they wither in their greenesse before any other hearb their hope being cut of They forget God and stretch out their hands to a strange God and then God searcheth this out they shall haue their sins set in order before them and bee torne in pieces and none shall deliuer them they haue forgotten God and trusted in falshood therefore their skirts shall bee discouered vpon their face that their shame may appeare Though then thou forget to take bread for a Iourney as the Disciples did or forget thy friend in thy mind and be vnmindfull of him in thy riches Remember the Lord. Thy brethren may be put farre from thee thine acquaintance estranged thy kinsfolke may faile and thy familiar friends forget thee thy Louers may forget thee and not seeke thee there may be none to plead thy cause but the Lord remembreth vs prouoke him not therefore forget not the euerlasting God that brought you vp grieue not Ierusalem that nursed you There are some things that especially affect the memorie and we shall find all singular in God Assidnum Mirum Cognatum Dulce Decorum Triste Nouum Munus Amor Aetas Spes Timor Auctor Are we mindfull of things frequent and vsuall In God wee liue moue and haue our being Of things wonderfull His Name is wonderfull The Mighty God The Euerlasting Father Of things neere vs or persons alyed Wee are all his off-spring Of pleasant things O taste and see how the Lord is good Doe wee remember Faire Beautifull Goodly things He is fayrer then the children of men Sadde and sorrowfull things Behold and see if there be any sorrow like that of the Son of God Gifts There is a New-yeeres gift The Lord hath created a New thing in the earth A woman shall compasse a man Loue God so loued the world that he gaue his onely begotten Sonne Carry wee in memorie our age wee are his deare children as new borne babes Any thing we hope for No hope to that for the Sauiour who shall change our vile bodies Any thing we feare There is one wise and greatly to be feared the Lord sitting vpon his throne Our Benefactours Euery good and perfect gift is from the Father of lights King Dauid had infirmities and did beare them but this was his supporter I will remember the yeares of the right hand of the most High I will remember the workes of the Lord Surely I will remember thy wonders of olde Wonderfull are the workes of Nature but more wonderfull are the workes of grace in our Iustification A wonder it was that the dead was raysed but a greater wonder that a poore fisherman whose hands were practised in his old torne netts and feete in the slime and mud of the sea should haue the power on a suddaine of conuerting soules A wonder that 's aboue all wonders that the Creator should become a creature with his bloud restore the lost sheepe from death to life yet thus He hath remembred his holy Couenant to deliuer vs from our Enemies Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe they may yet God will not forget vs. He remembreth vs that wee may remember him This made those who receiued blessings vnexspected from God to keepe some speciall memoriall as Leah conceiuing and bearing a sonne shee called his name Reuben for shee sayd The Lord hath looked vpon my affliction now therfore my husband will loue me She bare another sonne and called him Simeon Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated He hath giuen

Greenham vsed being often in his publick Ministery and priuate conference troubled with a suddaine failing in his memorie so as by no means he could recouer himselfe in those things he purposed to speak He would presently groane in his heart and humble his soule vnder the holy hand of God O let vs with groanes lament our dull forgetfulnesse of the great workes of God Socrates complained that after the vse of letters the Art of memorie decayed for the care which before was had in heart and memorie afterward was put in bookes and that which was committed to the minde was after put in trust in writing O let that flying rowle of Gods iudgement which lately hath gone ouer the face of the whole earth and cut off so many and entred into houses and remained in the midst of them and consumed the houses with the timber and the stones euer be in our memorie Bookes not vsed gather dust and memory not imployed will be dull and heauie Sathan desireth to deale with vs as Heringius did with Bamba his predecessour a King of the Gothes who gaue him a draught of drinke whereby he lost his memory Let vs often meditate vpon the workes of God Reade and Pray To reade and not to meditate is vnfruitfull To meditate and not to reade is dangerous for errours To reade and meditate without prayer is hurtfull Let vs not be as Ephraim who knew not that God healed them He it is that hath drawne vs with cords of a man with bands of loue Hee hath taken off the yoke on our iawes He hath layde meate vnto vs He turneth away his anger is as dew vnto vs Hee maketh Israel growe as the Lilly cast forth rootes as Lebanon his branches to spread his beauty to be as the Oliue tree reuiue as the corne and growe as the Vine All the wonders he doth are to confirme our hope raise vp our faith and nourish our loue to him To remember him is like the delight which the Apostles had at the transfiguration of Christ It is sweeter then the hony and the hony-combe It is sweeter then the remembrance of Iosias which was like the composition of the perfume made by the Art of the Apothecarie sweet as musicke at a Banquet of wine If we haue a minde to remember God comfort will be neere in the mouth and in the heart Nothing is more ready then this remembrance It is an easie medicine a speedy cure a pretious cordiall It remoueth sadnesse heauinesse melancholly and bringeth with it ioy in the holy Ghost Let vs then in the day of our gladnesse offer sacrifices for a memoriall before our God In the way of Gods iudgements let vs waite for him Let the desire of our soule be to his name and to the remembrance of him Let vs looke into the perfect law of liberty and continue therein not being forgetfull hearers but doers of the worke that wee may be blessed in our deedes And this is the worke of the day of our whole liues to powre out our soules in vs. O let vs then enter into a couenant to seek the Lord God of our Fathers with all our heart and with all our soule Then hee will set his Tabernacle among vs his soule shall not abhorre vs hee will be our God Then being instructed his soule shall not depart from vs wee shall not be left desolate His soule shall delight in vs To this end

this mountaine of Moriah to the little hill of Hermon as Dauid where they could not looke out but messages of Death and the encrease of the Plague in black bills was brought vnto them when in this Citie the dolefull Bell ringing out there was wringing of hands shrieking in the most places there for a Father here for a Mother there for a Husband here for a Wife there for a Master here for a Seruant there for a Mistresse here for an Handmayde there for Children here for Kinred Wee expected triumphes for the Coronation and alas in stead of these had Funeralls of dead men who being weary of the earth went to triumph in heauen But behold men cried vnto the Lord in their trouble and hee brought them out of their distresses Hee made the storme a calme and the waters were still Let the redeemed of the Lord say so whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemie and gathered from the East from the West from the North from the South when they wandred Hath the Lord remoued his anger Let vs remoue that which was and is the cause of his anger The Plague of the body being ceased let not SINNE the plague of the soule continue Sweepe your houses from swearing auoyd the company of the vngodly get the inward marke of Gods Spirit by making your Election sure Let your selues bloud of enuie hatred malice couetousnesse and all vncharitablenesse Beware of dogges Infidels as Christ calleth the Gentiles in his speech to the woman which was a Syrophenician by Nation It is not meete to take the childrens bread and to cast it to dogges Beasts without reason forsaking the Creatour to worship the creature Ignorance of the true God and blindnesse of heart were in the Gentiles the Nurses of Infidelity and brochers of Idolatry These make men runne headlong like the swine of the Gergesits into
