A probe thologicall is a 1612 London religious treatise by Osmund Lake, printed for William Leake, addressed to Christian pastors and their parishioners on Puritan pastoral theology. The four pictures are repeated section-opening initials marked § I, each a large capital I or T enclosed in dense curling acanthus-like scrollwork with dotted terminals, cross-hatched shading and a small pointed base, offering a designer a model for ornamental drop caps and framed monograms built from stylised foliage.
