A directory for church-government and ordination of ministers, to be examined against the next Generall Assemblie
A 1647 Scottish Presbyterian church directive on government and ordination of ministers, drafted by the Westminster Assembly and printed in Edinburgh by Evan Tyler for church leaders to test before the next General Assembly. Both pictures are small decorative initial letters, a capital C and a capital J, set inside black-and-white woodcut frames of interlaced scrolls, leaves and curls, showing how early printers built ornate letter blocks a designer could adapt for display type borders.
