A directory for church-government and ordination of ministers, to be examined against the next Generall Assemblie
A 1647 Edinburgh printing by Evan Tyler of the Westminster Assembly's directory for church government and the ordination of ministers, aimed at Scottish Presbyterian church officers and Assembly members for examination. The single picture is a decorative woodcut initial J flanked by dense interlaced foliage and scrollwork in black and white, with a line of black-letter type beside it; a designer could take its bold cut-line leaf patterns and hatched shading as a model for historic printer's ornament.
