Christ dying and drawing sinners to himselfe, or, A survey of our Saviour in his soule-suffering, his lovelynesse in his death, and the efficacie thereof : ... delivered in sermons on the Evangel according to S. John, chap. XII ...
A 1647 London sermon collection by the Scottish Puritan minister Samuel Rutherford, printed for the bookseller Andrew Crooke and drawing on the Gospel of John for its devotional readers. The pictures are printer's ornaments: two horizontal strapwork and foliage bands and two decorated woodcut initial letters I, all cut in dense black line. A designer could take from them the tight, interlaced vine scrolls and the flower-and-bird motifs of early modern letterpress ornament.
