Harangue faicte de la part de la chambre ecclesiastique, en celle du Tiers Estat, sur l'article du serment /
A 1615 Paris imprint printed by Antoine Estienne, a speech by Jacques Davy Du Perron delivered to the Third Estate of the French Estates General on the oath article. The pictures are early seventeenth-century woodcut printers' ornaments: a grotesque mask within scrolling cartouche, a large foliate initial M with leafy filler, and a small vignette of a figure beneath a tree with a scroll bearing the words 'Soli Deo'. A designer could take from them dense interlace borders, decorative capitals, and small emblematic tailpieces.
