The grand triall of true conversion, or, Sanctifying grace appearing and acting first and chiefly in the thoughts ..
A 1655 London devotional treatise on sanctification by the Puritan writer John Bisco, printed by M.S. for G. Eversden, and aimed at a religious readership wanting guidance on true conversion. The pictures are four small woodcut historiated initial letters, each a large I framed by leafy scrolls, with hatched shading, and one dotted block initial with a row of printers' ornaments above it; a designer might borrow their bold capital-and-foliage vocabulary for period display type.
