Observations, naturall and morall : with a short treatise of the numbers, weights, and measures, used by the Hebrews, with the valuation of them according to the measures of the Greeks and Romans : for the clearing of sundry places of Scripture in which these weights and measures are set downe by way of allusion
John Weemes's 1633 London treatise Observations, naturall and morall, printed by T. Cotes for John Bellamie, explains Hebrew weights and measures against Greek and Roman equivalents to clarify Scripture passages. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: strapwork friezes with urns, scrolls and figures, and a large initial letter built from spirals, which a designer could draw on for period borders and capitals.
