Common-prayer-book devotions, episcopal delusions, or, The second death of the service-book : wherein the unlawfulness (with advantage) of the imposition of liturgies or stinted forms of prayer or of the worship of God (and more especially of the English Service-Book) is clearly and plainly demonstrated from the Scriptures, and grounds in reason ; with answers to the arguments and pleas insisted on, in defence of the said impositions
A 1666 controversial tract, probably printed in London by an unidentified publisher, arguing against the imposition of the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer. The only picture is a bookplate from the Boston Public Library, a seal of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston with two nude figures flanking a shield and a book, lettered with the 1852-1878 dates and a gift from Josiah Henry Benton. A designer might take its symmetrical classical seal layout, paired standing figures and lettered oval framing as a model for institutional emblems.
