Optimum maximum – Thomas Brooks

(“Hypocrites Detected, Anatomized, Impeached, Arraigned and Condemned” 1650)

God is optimum maximum the best, and the greatest.

God is . . .
all ear to hear,
all hand to punish,
all power to protect,
all wisdom to direct,
all goodness to relieve,
all grace to pardon,
the horn of plenty,
the ocean of beauty,
without the least spot of injustice!
