Bishop Overall's Convocation book MDCVI, concerning the government of God's Catholick church, and the kingdoms of the whole world
A 1690 London edition printed for Walter Kettilby, reissuing John Overall's early seventeenth-century Church of England treatise on church government, with a prefatory series of engraved portraits of Anglican bishops. The two plates show formal half-length portraits of clerics in oval frames with Latin inscriptions and coats of arms below, a restrained template a designer could borrow for oval portrait framing, scroll cartouches, and heraldic shield layouts.
