A vindication of the authority, constitution, and laws of the church and state of Scotland : in four conferences, wherein the answer to the dialogues betwixt the Conformist and the Non-conformist, is examined
A vindication of the church and state of Scotland, a 1673 Glasgow polemic by the churchman Gilbert Burnet, written as a defence of Scottish ecclesiastical authority against Nonconformists. The three pictures are engraved portrait heads of 18th-century clergymen, shown in powdered wigs or long hair with white neckcloths and dark coats, rendered in soft stipple tones against dark backgrounds, offering a designer examples of restrained, dignified period portraiture.
