Of justification : four disputations clearing and amicably defending the truth, against the unnecessary oppositions of divers learned and reverend brethren

Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691 · 1658 · London : Printed by R.W. for N. Simmons · 21 pictures

A 1658 London theological treatise by Richard Baxter, printed by R.W. for N. Simmons, defending his views on justification against fellow Puritan divines such as John Tombes. The pictures are four small woodcut decorative initial letters, mostly capital T and one H, built from interlaced foliage, scrollwork, and clover-like leaves in heavy black on cream paper. A designer could draw on their bold, rough-cut contrast and compact framed letterform structure for display lettering or logo ornament.
