Instructions for a right comforting afflicted consciences: with special antidotes against some grievous temptations. Delivered for the most part in the lecture at Kettering in Northamptonshire

Bolton, Robert, 1572-1631 · 1635 · London, Printed by T.H. for Thomas Weaver · 41 pictures

A 1635 London devotional treatise by the Puritan minister Robert Bolton, printed by T.H. for Thomas Weaver, offering counsel to troubled consciences from sermons delivered at Kettering in Northamptonshire. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large capital I or T framed by stylised leaves, scrolls and flower forms, with hatched shading. A designer could take from them the dense, carved-looking framing of early modern printed initials, whose interlaced foliage suits lettering-based or historical ornament work.
