The new art of lying : covered by Jesuites under the vaile of equivocation, discovered and disproved
A 1624 London polemic against Jesuit equivocation, printed by George Purslowe for John Clarke and sold near St Peter's Church in Cornhill, aimed at a English Protestant readership. Its pictures are ornamental woodcut initial letters in the style of the period, with dense interlaced foliage, scrolls and tendrils framing a plain letterform, offering a designer a model for decorative capitals and border framing.
