The reasons of the Christian religion : the first part, of godliness ... the second part, of Christianity ..
A 1667 London devotional and apologetic treatise by the Puritan divine Richard Baxter, printed by R. White for the bookseller Francis Titon, aimed at a general Protestant readership defending the Christian faith. Its pictures are the printer's decorative woodcut initials and a head-piece, with ornate interlace, foliage, flowers and grotesque scrollwork in heavy black line; a designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut strapwork of 17th-century English printing for borders and drop caps.
