Seven treatises : containing directions, out of Scripture, leading to true happiness
Seven Treatises is a 1610 London devotional book of Christian guidance by the Puritan preacher Richard Rogers, aimed at lay readers seeking godly living. Its pictures are printer's ornaments: repeating strapwork and foliate bands, a grotesque mask-and-scroll frieze, and a decorated initial letter C with a hatched frame. A designer could take from them dense rhythmic borders, interlaced pattern, and the contrast of bold black ornament on aged paper.
