Irenicum. A weapon-salve for the Churches wounds, or The divine right of particular forms of church-government: discuss'd and examin'd according to the principles of the law of nature, the positive laws of God, the practice of the apostles, and the primitive Church, & the judgment of reform'd divines. Whereby a foundation is laid for the Churches peace, and the accommodation of our present differences
Irenicum is a 1662 London theological treatise by Edward Stillingfleet on church government, printed for Henry Mortlock for readers concerned with Church of England polity. Its pictures are four woodcut initial letters, a large decorated I and a T set in square frames of scrolling foliage, strapwork and hatched shading, showing how a letter can be built from interlaced vines and ornament for a page opening.
