A Christian, sober and plain exercitation on the two grand practical controversies of these times : infant baptism and singing of psalms
A 1654 London religious tract by Cuthbert Sidenham, printed for Robert White, arguing over infant baptism and psalm singing for a Puritan readership. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: large ornamental initial letters I and T with hatched foliage and scrollwork, and a border strip of winged figures flanking a sunburst roundel. A designer could take from them the dense hatched black-and-white woodcut texture and the symmetrical decorative framing of capitals and borders.
