Ordo distributionis sacramenti altaris sub vtraque specie, et formula confessionis faciendae in regno Angliae.
A Latin liturgical pamphlet from 1548 issued under the Church of England, printed in Leipzig (the record gives London as a false imprint) for clergy and worshippers, setting out the rite for distributing communion in both kinds. Its two pictures are a coat of arms with a shield bearing three upright objects and a chevron, flanked by scrolling mantling and a banner reading GAUDEO, and a woodcut initial P in a square frame showing a cherub or figure among clouds and foliage. A designer might take the heraldic mantling and the hatched woodcut initial as models for crest or monogram work.
