The stumbling-block of disobedience and rebellion, cunningly laid by Calvin in the subjects way, discovered, censured, and removed

Heylyn, Peter, 1600-1662 · 1658 · London : Printed by E. Cotes for H. Seile over St. Dunstans Church in Fleet Street · 5 pictures

A 1658 London polemic by the Anglican writer Peter Heylyn, printed by E. Cotes for H. Seile in Fleet Street, attacking Calvin's teaching on church and state for a royalist and churchly readership. Its pictures are letterpiece initials and printers' ornament strips: a strip of dense scrolled and floral bands, a looser strip of rosettes and curls, a decorated S with foliage, and a large historiated I with twisting figures and leaves, useful for designers wanting seventeenth-century border and initial vocabulary.
