| |  One of my favorites has always been: Twisse, William. The Riches of God’s Love unto the Vessells of Mercy, Consistent with His Absolute Hatred or Reprobation of the Vessells of Wrath.

I was discussing this with my pastor recently. He and I are working on a 30 second radio spot and it's an amazing challenge. Reading the puritans makes one more precise but a lot more wordy. I wrote the first attempt and it took 1 min and 40 seconds to read. I kept cutting and cutting until I had removed all the really cool stuff. I was telling my pastor how the puritans wouldn't be able to read a book title in 30 seconds and we are trying to introduce our church in that time. Such irony.
