Cover illustration: Excerpt from Romeyn de Hooghe, Hieroglyphica (Amsterdam, 1735). Private collection. The central figure, Reformed Faith, represents the ongoing development of the churches of the Reformation towards the original Christian simplicity. She acknowledges her dependence on divine grace, and receives God’s blessing in return. In her lap rests the hat of freedom, representing freedom of the conscience, while she tramples the papal regalia. Behind her De Hooghe etched modest ministers, elders and deacons, and in front of her venerable figures representing the Synod of Dordrecht and the States of Holland as the ultimate protectors of the faith and guarantors of the unity of the Church. The full image can be found as figure 8.6 on page 254.
