De causa Dei contra antisabbatarios tractatus
A Latin theological treatise defending the Sabbath, written by John Brown in the seventeenth century and printed at Rotterdam in 1674 for scholars and clergy. Its pictures are a set of decorative woodcut initial letters, a large D repeated in several versions and a Q, framed in acanthus scrolls, foliage and interlace, which a designer could draw on for ornamental capitals, borders and letterforms.
