The harmony of the divine attributes : in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption by the Lord Jesus Christ : or discourses, wherein is shewed how the wisdom, mercy, justice, holiness, power and truth of God are glorified in the great and blessed work
A 1674 London devotional treatise by the Puritan divine William Bates, printed by Darby for Nathaniel Ranew and Jonathan Robinson, on Christ's redemption of man. The only picture is a historiated opening initial, a letter T in a square frame flanked by two seated putti amid foliage, introducing dense black-letter-style text with an ornamental drop-cap approach. A designer might take from it the idea of a boxed capital framed by paired figures and leafy scrollwork as a classic, symmetrical headpiece.
