Divine, and moral speculations in metrical numbers, upon various subjects
A 1654 London book of devotional verse, Divine, and moral speculations in metrical numbers, by R. Aylet, printed for Abel Roper and aimed at a Puritan readership. The pictures are four small woodcut initial letters, each a capital I built from scrolled foliage, strapwork and dense hatching, showing how seventeenth-century printers ornamented letterforms with decorative borders for pages of text.
