A dissuasive from the errours of the time : wherein the tenets of the principall sects, especially of the Independents, are drawn together in one map, for the most part in the words of their own authours and their maine principles are examined by the touch-stone of the Holy Scrptures [sic]
A 1645 London polemical treatise by Robert Baillie, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, printed for the bookseller Samuel Gellibrand to attack Independent and Brownist sects; its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a horizontal foliate strip with birds and a crowned motif, a large initial T framing two grotesque figures, and a winged face tailpiece. A designer might borrow their dense, symmetrical strapwork and compact decorative banding for period-style borders and headers.
