A discourse of the knowledge of God, and of ourselves : by the light of nature ; by the sacred scriptures
A 1688 London religious treatise by Sir Matthew Hale, printed for the bookseller William Shrowsbery and aimed at general Christian readers on knowing God and oneself. Its pictures are a large decorated initial letter I wrapped in foliage, a strip of carved scrollwork with rosettes and volutes, and a seventeenth-century engraved portrait of a bearded man in a fur-trimmed robe and chain of office, useful for ornament and period portrait studies.
