An exposition vpon the Epistle to the Colossians ... Being, the substance of neare seuen yeeres weeke-dayes sermons
A 1615 London religious commentary by the Puritan preacher Nicholas Byfield, printed by T. Snodham for N. Butter, expounding the Epistle to the Colossians from sermons he delivered on weekdays. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a strip ornament, with the letters built from interlaced foliage, scrolls and curling leaves, and the frieze using putti, grotesque masks and scrolling tendrils, offering a designer ready-made models for framing a capital letter or a page-top border.
