Tears of repentance: or, A further narrative of the progress of the Gospel amongst the Indians in New-England: : setting forth, not only their present state and condition, but sundry confessions of sin by diverse of the said Indians, wrought upon by the saving power of the Gospel; together with the manifestation of their faith and hope in Jesus Christ, and the work of grace upon their hearts.
A 1653 London missionary tract by John Eliot, printed by Peter Cole in Leadenhall, recounting confessions and faith of Native New England converts for an English Protestant readership. Its two pictures are small black woodblock ornaments: a repeating border of stylised floral and foliate motifs above a band of small urns and rosettes, and a large decorative initial letter built from curling acanthus scrolls, useful for designers seeking historic printers' ornament and lettering.
