A booke of Christian prayers, : collected out of the auncie[n]t writers, and best learned in our tyme, worthy to be read with an earnest mynde of all Christians, in these daungerous and troublesome dayes, that God for Christes sake will yet still be mercyfull vnto vs.
A devotional prayer book compiled by Richard Day and printed in London in 1578 by John Daye for Christian readers facing troubled times. Its pages are dense black-letter text set in single columns, with narrow side panels holding small woodcut emblems, scenes of figures, and decorative border strips. A designer could take from them the tight justified type blocks, the marginal picture frames, and the mix of text with small allegorical woodcuts.
