The Holiness of God

Holiness, this attribute has an excellency above his other perfections. There are some attributes of God we prefer, because of our interest in them, and the relation they bear to us: as we esteem his goodness before his power, and his mercy whereby he relieves us, before his justice whereby he punishes us; as there are some we more delight in, because of the goodness we receive by them; so there are some that God delights to honor, because of their excellency.
