Emblematic Illumination; or Forms, Colours and Emblems: Suitable for Illuminating Texts of Holy Scripture in Large Style, in Oils or Water-colours.
Illumination of books and manuscripts; Initials
The above is an original example of the two Monograms combined, well
suited for illumination.
The following is a beautiful illustration, in a simple form, of the
doctrine of the Holy Trinity in Unity:--
[Illustration]
Read thus:[21] "Pater non est Filius. Filius non est Sanctus
Spiritus. Sanctus Spiritus non est Pater. Pater est Deus. Filius est
Deus. Sanctus Spiritus est Deus."
[21] The Father is not the Son. The Son is not the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not the Father. The Father is GOD. The Son is
GOD. The Holy Spirit is GOD.
