A sacred septenarie : or, a godly and fruitfull exposition on the seven Psalmes of repentance ..
A 1638 London religious work by the Scottish Puritan minister Archibald Simson, printed by Thomas Paine for John Bellamy, offering an exposition of the seven penitential Psalms for devout readers. The pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a horizontal band of interlaced scrollwork with a lion's head at centre, and a large decorated initial T built from curling foliage, rosettes and hatched shading. A designer might draw on the bold black-and-white hatching and dense scrollwork as a template for initials and headpieces.
