The service, discipline and forme of the Common prayers and administration of the sacraments, used in the English Church of Geneva : as it was approved by that most reverend divine, M. Iohn Calvin, and the Church of Scotland

English Church (Geneva, Switzerland), Church of Scotland. Book of discipline · 1641 · London : Printed for William Cooke · 4 pictures

A 1641 London printing, issued for William Cooke, of the liturgy and sacramental order used by the English congregation at Geneva, approved by Calvin, for English Protestant readers. The four pictures are small woodcut initials and a horizontal ornamental border, with a letter F in a foliate frame, a letter B flanked by two grotesque figures, a letter O enclosed in scrollwork, and a strip of crowned foliage; a designer could draw on their dense, hand-cut vine work and the contrast of bold capitals against busy surrounds.
