The pastor and the prelate, or Reformation and conformitie
A religious controversy tract by David Calderwood, a Presbyterian minister, printed in 1628, probably in Holland, for readers concerned with the Church of Scotland and episcopacy. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials built from twisting serpent-like creatures, foliage scrolls and dragon heads, offering a designer ready-made models for ornamental capital letters with carved, interlaced frames.
