Holiness gives decorum to them all

If every attribute of the Deity were a distinct member, purity would be the form, the soul, the spirit to animate them.  Without holiness, his patience would be an indulgence to sin, his mercy a fondness, his wrath a madness, his power a tyranny, his wisdom an unworthy subtlety.  Holiness gives decorum to them all.
