Antichrist the pope of Rome : or, the pope of Rome is Antichrist
A 1625 London polemic by the Puritan writer Thomas Beard, printed by Isaac Jaggard for John Bellamie, arguing against the Catholic Church that the pope is Antichrist, aimed at a English Protestant readership. Its pictures are small decorative woodcut initials and a heraldic tail-piece, with figures of winged grotesques and foliage that a designer could borrow for letterforms, borders, and ornamental panels.
