Strength out of weaknesse; or A glorious manifestation of the further progresse of the Gospel among the 1ndians [sic] in New-England.
Strength out of weaknesse is a 1652 London pamphlet printed by M. Simmons for John Blague and Samuel Howes, reporting missionary progress among the Indians of New England for a Puritan readership. Its pictures are historiated and decorative initial letters: a foliate T, an ornate I, a knotted C, and an A framed by two putti, with dense hatching and vine scrolls that suit designers seeking early modern border and capital motifs.
