The Effect of certaine sermons touching the full redemption of mankind by the death and bloud of Christ Jesus : wherein besides the merite of Christs suffering, the manner of his offering, the power of this death, the comfort of his crosse, the glorie of his resurection, are handled ..
A 1599 London sermon collection by Thomas Bilson, printed by Peter Short for Walter Burre, on Christ's redemptive death and resurrection, addressed to English Protestant readers. The picture is a bookplate rather than a text illustration: a heraldic shield with a crown-topped helm, flanked by scrolling rococo cartouche ornament, with the motto 'Amica Veritas' and a printed owner's name and address beneath. A designer might take its symmetrical scrollwork and banner-and-shield layout as a model for crest or emblem design.
