• 1 Corinthians 2 (further images / scripture text)

Description: This title-page border encloses a printer's device, which uses the ancient Christian symbol of a pelican feeding her young from her pierced breast. Framing the image is the Latin motto SIC HIS QVI DILIGVNT ("Thus to those who love"), and the theme of love continues below in the quoted passage from I Corinthians 2:9 ("Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love him").
