Simplicities defence against seven-headed policy. Or Innocency vindicated, being unjustly accused, and sorely censured, by that seven-headed church-government united in New-England.
A 1646 London polemic by Samuel Gorton, printed by John Macock and sold by Luke Fawne, attacking the New England church government and defending his Warwick settlement and its Narragansett dealings. The four pictures are typographic furniture: two strips of repeated ornamental bands, a decorated initial T with foliage and cross-hatched shading, and an engraved heraldic coat of arms with a crest, helm, and scroll reading 'GAUDED'. A designer could draw on the dense repeating border strips, the cross-hatched woodcut initial, and the armorial crest for period ornament.
