The theatre of Gods judgements: : Reuised and augmented. VVherein is represented the admirable justice of God against all notorious sinners, both great and small; but especially against the most eminent persons of the world, whose transcendent power breaketh thorow the barres of humane iustice; deduced by the order of the Commandements. Collected out of sacred, ecclesiasticall, and prophane histories. Now thirdly printed, and encreased with many more examples.
The Theatre of God's Judgements is a moralising Protestant treatise by Thomas Beard, a translation and expansion of Jean de Chassanion's work, printed in London in 1631 by Adam Islip for Michael Sparke and aimed at English Christian readers. Its pictures are small decorative woodcut initials, a framed I, an ornate I and a large A with interlaced scrollwork and foliage, plus a historiated N, which a designer could draw on for ornamental capitals and border-based lettering.
