Conformitie's deformity. In a dialogue between conformity, and conscience. Wherein the main head of all the controversies in these times, concerning church-government, is asserted and maintained; as without which, all reformation is headlesse, and all reconciliation hopelesse. Dedicated by Henry Burton, to the honour of Jesus Christ, as the first-fruits of his late recovery from death to life; as a testimony of his humble and thankfull acknowledgement of so great a mercy: and published for the service of all those, that love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. ..
A 1646 London controversial treatise in dialogue form by the Puritan writer Henry Burton, printed for Giles Calvert and addressed to readers seeking church reform. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a horizontal frieze of scrolling foliage around a central urn with winged grotesque figures, and square initial-letter frames with a T and a Y set among leaves, rosettes and flowers, useful to a designer for border and decorative capital ideas.
