The safe religion : or, Three disputations for the reformed catholike religion against popery ..
A 1657 London religious polemic by Richard Baxter, printed by Abraham Miller for Thomas Underhill and Francis Tyton, addressing Puritan and Catholic controversy. Its pictures are decorative printers' ornaments: a strapwork initial, a large ornamental capital I, a capital H framed by foliage, and a horizontal band with a central mask flanked by scrolls. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut woodblock vocabulary of scrolls, strapwork, and interlaced foliage used for early modern type-ornament borders and initials.
