The marrow of sacred divinity : drawne out of the Holy Scriptures and the interpreters thereof, and brought into method
The Marrow of Sacred Divinity is a 1639 London theological treatise by William Ames, printed by Edward Griffin for Henry Overton, aimed at students and readers of Protestant doctrine. Its pictures are small woodcut and letterpress elements: a dense horizontal strapwork and scroll border, a crowned ornament, a round medallion of stylised flowers, and a dense block of printed tabular divisions. A designer might take from them the period decorative vocabulary of scrolls, crowns and strapwork, and the rigid visual logic of nested categories.
