Life eternall, or, A treatise of the knowledge of the divine essence and attributes : delivered in xviii sermons
A 1631 London sermon collection by the Puritan preacher John Preston, edited by Thomas Ball, printed by R.E. and aimed at English readers on the knowledge of God. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a flowered vertical border, a cartouche-style horizontal strip, a scrolling foliage column and a decorated initial letter. A designer might take from them the dense hatched line work and scrolled foliage of early seventeenth-century printers' ornament for borders, dividers and drop caps.
