Responsvm ad Hoplocrisma-Spongvm M. Fosteri presbiteri : ab ipso ad vngventi armarii validitatem delendam ordinatvm : hoc est, Spongiae M. Fosteri presbyteri expressio sev elisio : in qua virtuosa spongiae ipsius potestas in detergendo vnguentum armarium, ex primitur, eliditur ac funditus aboletur : ac tandem immodestia & erga fratres suos incivilitas, aceto veritatis acerrimo corrigitur & penitus extinguitur
A Latin polemic of 1638 in which the physician Robert Fludd answers William Foster's attack on the weapon-salve, printed at Gouda by Petrus Rammazenius for readers of learned medicine and occult natural philosophy. The pictures are letterpress woodcut ornaments: symmetrical tailpieces of scrolling acanthus rising to a small animal head, and a long frieze band with standing figures flanking foliage, useful as small black-line dividers, headbands and corner flourishes.
