An apologie of the power and providence of God in the government of the world. Or an examination and censure of the common errour touching natures perpetuall and universall decay, divided into foure bookes: ...
A 1627 Oxford treatise by the clergyman George Hakewill, printed by John Lichfield and William Turner, arguing against the idea that nature is decaying, and written for a learned readership of theologians and scholars. Its four pictures are woodcut ornaments: a symmetrical central grotesque mask flanked by winged figures and foliage, a horizontal band of birds and an urn among scrolling flowers, and a heraldic cartouche with dolphins above a dedication in large capitals, all useful as period-correct dividers, headers and borders for a designer working in a classical revival style.
