The morning-exercise against popery, or, The principal errors of the Church of Rome detected and confuted : in a morning-lecture preached lately in Southwark
A 1675 London sermon by the Puritan minister Nathanael Vincent, printed by A. Maxwell for Thomas Parkhurst, attacking errors of the Church of Rome. The two pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial letter with interlaced acanthus scrolls and foliage, and a horizontal border strip with symmetrical scrolling and a central urn-like motif. A designer could take from them the dense, tightly packed black-line vernacular woodcut style of the seventeenth century, suited to historical or ornamental framing devices.
