A survey of the summe of church-discipline. : Wherein, the way of the churches of New-England is warranted out of the Word, and all exceptions of weight, which are made against it, answered: whereby also it will appear to the judicious reader, that something more must be said, then yet hath been, before their principles can be shaken, or they should be unsetled in their practice.
A 1648 London printed treatise by the Puritan minister Thomas Hooker, issued by the printer Abraham Miller for the bookseller John Bellamy, defending Congregational church discipline in New England for a English religious readership. The picture is a single running border strip of repeated urn-shaped vases with symmetrical floral sprays, printed in solid black on a plain band. A designer might take from it a simple, rhythmic repeat for a frieze, divider, or border treatment with strong symmetry.
