Description
1675 President John Adams Provenance Connection Richard Allestree Government of the Tongue Protestant Devotional

“Medicines as purify the blood; so this Leprosy of the Tongue will still spread farther, if it be not checked in its Spring and source, by the mortifying of those corrupt inclinations, which feed and heighten it.”

--Richard Allestree, The Government of the Tongue

Richard Allestree was an English Royalist churchman and provost of Eton College from 1665. This 17th century devotional is quite rare. It contains some examples of decorative bandings and enlarged decorated leading initials at the beginning of the work. A lovely disposition on the taming of the tongue, this work is highly desirable for clergy and lay persons alike.
