Aarons rod blossoming, or, the divine ordinance of church government vindicated ...
A 1646 London treatise by Scottish minister George Gillespie, printed for Richard Whitaker, arguing for Presbyterian church government and its divine ordinance. The pictures are not from the argument itself but are decorative woodcut headpieces and tailpieces: strips of foliage scrolls, birds, vases, and grotesque masks in a dense, roughly cut style that suits borders, dividers, and period ornament in print design.
