The spirituall use of an orchard or garden of fruit-trees : set forth in divers similitudes betweene naturall and spirituall fruit trees, in their natures, and ordering, according to Scripture and experience
A 1657 Oxford devotional treatise by R. A. Austen, printed by Henry Hall for Thomas Robinson, comparing natural fruit trees and gardening with spiritual life for a Puritan readership. Its pictures are small decorative initial letters, the capital T framed in square borders of crowns, thistles, roses, flowers, birds and figures, all in woodcut style. A designer might borrow the compact framed-initial format and the mix of botanical and heraldic ornament for a historical border or capital.
