Ohel or Beth-shemesh, a tabernacle for the Sun : or, Irenicum evangelicum, an idea of church discipline, in the theorick and practick parts ..
A 1653 London religious treatise by the Fifth Monarchist preacher John Rogers, printed for the booksellers R. I. and G. and H. Eversden, arguing for a church discipline model. The pictures here are the repeated decorative woodcut initial I, a large letter built from interlaced scrollwork, leafy lobes and cross-hatched black shading on a plain ground. A designer could take from them a dense, strap-like hatched border treatment for a drop cap or a frame built from knotted foliage.
