Singing of psalmes a gospel-ordinance : or a treatise, wherein are handled these particulars, 1. Touching the duty it selfe; 2. Touching the matter to be sung; 3. Touching the singers; 4. Touching the manner of singing
A 1650 London treatise by the Puritan minister John Cotton on congregational psalm singing, printed for the booksellers J.R. and H.A. and aimed at church worshippers. The picture is a woodcut initial T set in a square frame, with two birds flanking a flame-like finial above and scrolling foliage below, cut in a bold, simple style that a designer could borrow for a decorative capital or a framed monogram.
