The faithful shepheard : with The shepheards practise in preaching annexed thereunto ..
A 1609 London devotional treatise by the Puritan minister Richard Bernard, printed by Arnold Hatfield for a clergy and lay readership concerned with pastoral duty. The pictures are decorative woodcut initials and a headpiece: an ornate capital I with scrollwork, a W enclosed in foliage, an I flanked by thistles and flowers under crowns, and a border of confronted griffins and scrolls. A designer might take the dense interlaced vine borders and the heraldic thistle-and-rose motifs as reference for ornamental lettering.
