The successive visibility of the church of which the Protestants are soundest members
A 1660 London religious treatise by the Puritan divine Richard Baxter, printed by R.W. for Nevil Simmons for a readership of Protestant believers. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a fleur-de-lis inside a dotted oval cartouche with scrolled banners, a decorative capital T with foliage, and a historiated initial I flanked by two crowned figures holding an open book. A designer could take from them the dense dotted-tint fill, the scrolled cartouche frame, and the rough letterpress texture of seventeenth-century type ornaments.
