The dying man's testament to the Church of Scotland, or, A treatise concerning scandal
A 1659 London printing of a Scottish religious treatise by James Durham and Robert Blair, issued by the Stationers' Company for a Presbyterian readership concerned with church doctrine and conduct. The three pictures are printer's initials: two framed capitals, T and H, flanked by heraldic birds with a central thistle-like crest, and a larger ornate capital I built from scrolling flowers and hatched leaves; a designer could take the hatched, woodcut-style line work and the symmetrical bird-and-scroll framing.
