that I may see it and remember] God needeth not any tokens or marks of remembrance for performance of his promise, because he cannot possibly forget any thing of how small moment, or how long date soever it be; this therefore is spoken after the manner of men for their better apprehension of the firmenesse and stedfastnesse of God in his Covenant; for this remembrance imports a reall and assured ratification of his promise; and hereby may men call to minde what he hath covenanted, and with undoubted confidence relye upon it, for his faithfulnesse will make good what his favour hath said. See Exodus 28:12. 29. & Annot. on Chap. 8. vers. 21.
