the two remaining parts divide into seven parts three for the upper Thorus the rest divide into eight parts two for the two Astragals of the middle and the half of one part shall be for each of the Fillets which are both upon the Plinth and above and below the Astragals That which is under the Thorus shall contain two parts of one of the said eight parts as it is plainly shewed in the figure of the great Base enriched noted under its Plinth and in the middle thereof with the letter D. The Fillet which is set over the Thorus of the Base of the Column noted D is made after this manner divide the breadth of the Body into 12 parts one part of each side shall be the diminishing of the Column and the half of one part shall be the largness of the Fillet and Projecture the remaining parts shall have their Projecture as is shewed more plainly in the figure of the Base being on the other side of this said Column set and figured in a greater form which you shall find noted in its Plinth with N according to the frame of the Base enriched as above described On the top of the body of the Column is set the Capital marked E which is made after this manner Divide the largeness of the Column below into eighteen parts the which you shall set on the Abacus of the Capital adding to each side one half but the Fillet on which are the eighteen parts ought to have the breadth of half one of these parts which maketh the Cima so that it be large one part and a half with the Fillet Of these eighteen parts of the Fillet you shall apply nine to the side of the Capital and shall distribute them in such manner that one part may be for the Cima two for the Trochilus of the Voluta two for the Boultin adorned with Egs and Anchors one for the Astragale with Beads and the three parts remaining for the half Circle below Under the Scroul you shall take four of the eighteen parts which make the Friese but on the top of the Column you shall make an Astragale which shall have in height the twelfth part of the largeness of the Column whereof the third part is the Fillet the rest for the Boultin having the Projecture equal to the height And for the plainer understanding of the said Capital I have made on the left side of this another in a greater proportion by this means very intelligible the which you shall find noted in the midst of its Trochilus with O. The Scrowl noted F is made in the form and manner as it is declared in the framing of the great Scrowl of the Capital set and expressed on the right side of the said Column noted by the said O in its Trochilus For the diminishing of the body of the Column noted G from the Base below divide it into six equal parts whereof you shall leave two but from the second part of the Column below going upwards you shall draw on each side right lines and traversing by each part of these divisions and after you have drawn all these lines you shall make upon the line of the second part an half Circle from one end of the breadth of the third of the Column unto the other After this you shall divide the Arch of the Semi-circle which is contained within the lines erected upwards into four equal parts the which you shall joyn together by cross lines so that the first and highest of them may touch the lines which are erected from the twelfth part in the place in which it maketh the Circle and when this line so erected cometh to touch the end of the sixth part of the Column you shall draw also the lines from the other Sections and Pertitions of the Circle and they shall agree with them These lines being thus drawn you shall draw within the Semi-Circle the lines of the diminishing as is to be seen in this Figure And by this manner the Column may be diminished as it is more largly declared in the first Chapter of the said first Book treating of the Tuscan Order Over the Capital is placed the Architrave noted H having the height of the halfe thickness of the Column below This Architrave divide into seven parts let one be the Cima so that the third thereof be for the Fillet the six parts remaining divide into twelve three parts for the Fascia below four for the middle and five for the upper having their Projecture and place as this figure sheweth The Friese noted I is of the same height with the Architrave and is divided into nine parts one of them is the little Sima under the Teath and Dentiles the third of the remainder is for the Fillet the two other parts make the Sima over the Sima are placed the Teeth and Dentels noted K on the side whereof the height is equal to the Facia of the middle of the Architrave the Projecture agreeth with the height their breadth is the half of the height and two thirds of the largeness make the spaces which is between them two To the Teeth and Denticles add a little Cimatum which is to be as high as one sixth part of one of the Teeth and Dentiles the third thereof is the Fillet the remainder is the Sima which ought to project in a square Afterward the Corona is made noted L which is as high as the Facia of the midst of the Architrave the third thereof is the Cima and the rest the O. G. the Projecture thereof is equal to the distance that there is of the Friese to the end of the said Teeth and Dentiles as it is shewed by the figures of them noted M. Upon the Corona they set the O. G. noted M which is as high as the height of the lesser Facia of the Architrave the which is marked with a Cross a seventh part of which being joyned thereto is for the Fillet the remainder for the Cima The Projecture of the Fillet shall be equal to the height If you would flute the Column you shall divide the circumference of it into 24 parts one of them divide into five whereof one fifth is the Flute and the remainder shall be for the Strix and this being done you have accomplished the true Symmetry and proportion of this Column according to the custom which the most excellent antient Romans and other excellent Common-Wealths have made use of And for the more large declaration to put in practice the members of the said Column here above described and particularized in the two next Portracts of the Ionick Order with the Pedestal may be seen in the two pages following in a great proportion a Base and Capital adorned with their Enrichments and the Ichnography or Plain By the means of which Capital and Base enriched the curious Artist shall be largely instructed how to adorn the said particular Members whensoever it shall be fit for

and Vignola alloweth to all the Order to the Arches or Portals two lines their opening or largeness for their height to measure the said largeness of the corner of the Base of one Pedestal to the other excepting the Corinthian Order Pedestal to which he alloweth in height one Module more It must be considered that the Columns of the Arches or Portals must have projecture from the Pilasters against which they are placed one third part of a Module more then their half because that the Projecture of the Impost goeth forth just the half of the Column and this shall be a general rule to be observed in all the five Orders I shall not discourse here of the divers Proportions which the Architects here above named have given to the five Orders of Columns and whereof the design and Profiles of Columns that are represented in several Prints at the end of the Book because that upon them the said Proportions are described in brief the which I believe might be sufficiently intelligible for those which shall allow themselves the leasure to read the seven Chapters contained in this Book with attention which shall furnish them with the opening and knowledge of the proper names and words particularly used in Architecture without the knowledge of which it is very hard to understand it well There are Rules also for diminishing of Columns Likewise how to make the wreathed Column of Vignola translated out of Italian into French and out of French into English Likewise you may be satisfied that you have in this Book the Measures and Proportions of Vitruvius exactly and you may see at the end of the Book those of the most famous Modern Italian Architects where it seemeth to me that there is all that one can desire that would learn Architecture the others being but weak imitaters of these will never have much authority Different proportion of the Tuscan order Different proportions of the Dorick order Different proportions of the Ionick order Different proportions of the Corinthian order Different proportions of the Composite Order Rules for deminishing of Columnes for the wreathed Columne of Vignola The deminishing of this Columne of Vignola is like that of Mauclere the deminishing of this Columne ✚ is of Vignola He saith that haueing Ordered the measures of the Column you must draw a Line infinite begining at C and continuing by D. then cary the measure C D to the point A. vntill that it devide the perpendicular at the poynt B and let A B be continued vnto E from thence one may draw as many lines as they will which must come from the perpendicular and goe to the Cercumference of the Column over which carying back the measure C D they shall finde as well aboue as below the swelling of the Column this may be applyed to the Ionick Corinthian and Composite To make the wreathed Column like vnto those which are in S t Peters Church at Rome you must make a Circle which shall be its plaine the little Circle in the midst sheweth how far it must extend it selfe which you must devide into 8 parts from the midst therof by a perpendicular lyne must be drawne 4 paralells then devide the whole Column into 48 equal parts which shall helpe to make y e spiral line or rising from the midst and serueth for y e Center to the Column vpon which shall be borne the thithicknes of the Column lyne by lyne as may be plainly seene But obserue that the 4 figures 1.2.3.4 marked vpon the plaine ought not to serue but for the first halfe ascent because the begining procedeth from y e Center and from thence vpwards ought to follow the largenes of the little Circle vnto the last halfe ascent aboue for it must also follow that below where are the 4 figures afore said RVLES OF PERSPECTIVE FOR THE WELL ORDERING OF EMMINENT BVILDINGS FIGVRES TREES AND ALL OTHE OBIECTS VPON WHAT PLANE Soeuer it bee set at the end of this Booke for recreation to the curious reader which hath desire to be instructed therein c Of the Horison The Horison is a lyne which seperate thy Heaven from the Earth and this lyne is alwayes as high as the eye of him y t looketh so that if the looker be as high as A his Horison shall be A B if his height be at C his horison shall be C D being sell or on his knees as at E it shall be E F of the poynt of the sight of th● Horison Vpon the Horison high or low one must take y e poynt of the sight A. which wee say is in y e front when it is in the midst of the table and on the side when it is not there at this poynt all the lynes must be drawne which are perpendicular to our eye as those B B B drawne to y e poynt A must be held for perpendiculars vpon the lyne of y e earth C D at y e bottom of the table of the poynt of Distance The Poynt of distance E ought likewise to be taken vpon y e Horison and as far from y e poynt of y e sight A as the looker ought to be effectively for to soe the vse of this poynt wee finde all the shortnings of the Obiects for example the lyne C.

make the Egs and Anchors The Neck noted I is divided in two parts which is marked with two little Crosses the one is the breadth of the Astragale this Astragale again divide into three parts whereof one shall be for the Fillet the eighth part of the thickness of the body of the Column below shall be the Projecture of the Capital the Astragale must project in a square as may be seen more plainly in the great Capital following the projecting of the body of the Column noted K is made after this manner The said Column in its length between the Base of the Column and the Astragale it shall be divided into six parts whereof two shall remain below and is the third part of the height having made a division from the bottom to the top you shall draw lines passing through on each side and upon the line of the third part you shall set a Compass compassing from one end to the other apply the Compass to the side and divide the Circle from one of the sides of its half Circle unto the place where the Perpendicular line falleth off the Scapus or thickness of the Column above until it be on the sixth part of Icnographia being on the Pedestal where they divide the round of the side into four parts which you shall make with lines across as it appeareth in this Figure Likewise you shall draw out of each part a line proceeding upward beginning on the outside and reaching unto the sixth part of the body of the Column and so following the second and third of the lines so drawn each in his place let the lines of the diminishing be drawn proceeding across unto the other and by this the body shall have its diminishing and to render it more equal and pleasant to the eye whereas the Circle is divided into four parts divide the same space into 5 6 7 or 8 and the body of the Column likewise for the more divisions you make thereof the said diminishing will be the more equal and pleasing but I would not make it into more then four for to make the manner thereof more intelligible to those that have less skil in this Art the which having practised in four divisions will make the other more easie to them There is yet another manner of diminishing of Columns which Vitruvius sets forth in his third Book Chap. 2. which is made after this manner it is That each of those Columns which shall reach from the Basis unto the Capital about fifteen foot of height the Diameter of this Column below ought to be divided into six parts and of this it will suffice that the end above have five of them Of those which shall be from fifteen to twenty foot the greater end below shall be divided into six parts and a half whereof you must allow five and an half for the end above of another which may have from twenty to thirty feet let the Diameter below be divided into seven parts and an half whereof there shall be allowed six and half for the end above and the lessening thereof will be convenient when one shall be presented between thirty and forty feet of height divide the end below into seven parts and a half then allow six and a half for the end above and so the Columns will have a good diminishing But if you find any between forty and fifty feet you must divide their Diameter below in eight parts whereof you shall allow seven for the diminishing the end above and that shall be done rightly which belongeth to it nevertheless observe the manner here above described noted by the Figure 3. Above the Capital is the Architrave noted L and hath half the Diameter of the body of the Column below and being divided into six parts one part is for the Cimatum and the said part being divided into three one part shall be for the Fillet on the left side The other five parts of the Architrave divide into nine whereof five shall be for the upper Fascia the four for the lower The whole having Projecture as this Figure sheweth Over the Architrave is the Friese noted M of which the height is half the Diameter of the Column below over the Friese shall be set the Cornish and it is of the same height with the Friese It s Projecture noted N on the side is equal to its height and is divided into four parts whereof the first is for the lower Cimatum divided into three one for the Fillet and the two remaining for the Cima Of the three parts remaining of the Cornish one is for the Boultin and Fillet the said part being divided into four one for the Fillet and three for the Boultin The two parts remaining of the first parts are for the Projecture of the Corona which is equal to the height the part below is divided into eleven parts whereof two are for the Fillet and one for the Dentecules it is fitting to have three as deep as large This is the Description of this Column with the true Symmetry and Compartition of its parts used by the Romans and Ventians according to that which I have been able to gather thereof out of all the most antient Authors which God hath given me the opportunity to see And to make the use and practice of the Members of the said Column more easie here above to particularize to the Reader and Artist very exactly to observe the Measures and Proportions which ought therein to be kept he shall find hereafter in a great propottion a Pedestal accompanied with its Basis enriched the said Pedestal being noted in the middle with O and the said Basis with the letter P. in its Plinth In the other part of the leaf on the left side of the said Pedestal and Basis may be seen a Capital of great Proportion agreeable to the said Basis and Pedestal which is noted in his Friese with Q. And above the which Capital is the Icnography thereof answering proportionably to the Icnography or plain which is described within the said Pedestal marked O. And on the side of the Capital may be seen the Draught of the Egg or Oval Geometrically described for the benefit of the Workman whensoever he would use the same in his enrichments for to make them the more perfect and pleasing to the eye After you may see in two pages following two different Architraves Frieses and Cornishes likewise in great proportion garnished with their Enrichments requisite according to the capacity of the said Tuscan Order where the one of the said Pourtracts containing the Architrave Friese and Cornish the one is noted in its Friese with R the other being over against it with S. Here followeth the Antiquity of the Tuscan Column first in Order BEcause the Tuscan Column is more gross and stronger then any of the other following it hath been more used by the Antients in Fortresses because it is more fit as being less

shall be its Fillet All the parts of the Cornish must each of them project in a square The upper part of the Cornish on the right side noted K must be divided into six parts the inferiour or lowest part of these parts maketh the Boultin under the Sima the three parts make the Sima and two parts make the Fillet over the Sima it projects its thickness The Fascia hath as much Projecture as the Simatum which is above the Cattoozes The upper Cimatum hath his Projecture in a square This is in brief the Symmetry and true measure and proportion of the said Column which finisheth and accomplisheth its height in thirteen parts as appeareth by the Columns in Rome in the Amphitheater which at present is called the Colisas The manner how to hollow and round the Cimaes or Cornishes is shewed very plainly in the Cornishes in a great proportion on the left side of the said Columns which is for the more plain understanding noted P. that on the left side and that on the right with Q to the which Cornishes are added a Frontlet as appears in the Chapter of the Ionick Order with the Rule for its construction and in that following a Cornish of the Rule and Measure of Vignola with its Proportions to the end that the curious may chuse that which pleaseth them best The Frontlet is made in the same manner with the Frontlet heretofore described in the 4 th Chapter of the Ionick Order with its Pedestal but instead of marking the Arches as in the Frontlet you must draw streight lines from C unto A as many as there is in the Cornish of the Order of which you make it and then you shall make all the lines to come down upon the line E as in the Frontlet The Antiquity of the Composite Column OF the three last kind of Columns that is of the Dorick Ionick Corinthian proceedeth an Invention of the Column called the Composite and it is more slender then the Corinthian for it is composed of the three foresaid kind of Columns joyntly put together in a good proportion of ten Diameters of height as it appeareth by the Pourtracts of them hereafter set forth For the benefit of Workmen as is aforesaid that have only the practice of the Rule and Compasses they may observe the two Perpendicular Lines on each side the Column which is finished the one noted R. S. the other I.V. each of them being divided into 30 equal parts supposing one of those parts to be a foot and each foot to have 12 inches as is afore said in the latter part of the Tuscan Chapter the several divisions which each Order doth allow must be observed as the lines on each side the Tuscan Column are divided in 10 parts the Dorick into 15 the Ionick with its Pedestal into 20 the Corinthian with the Pedestal 25 and this present Composite Order into 30 as aforesaid so observing the Rules that the Author hath set down at the latter part of the Tuscan Order he may use the same in all the rest An Advertisement for the Enter Columns Arches or Portals and of the divers Measures of Columns of Scamozzi Palladio and Vignola which are at the end of this Book WE must now speak of Spaces which Scamozzi Palladio and Vignola have observed between the Columns and for the Portals Gates and Arches for the which they have resolved upon a measure necessary for their perfection and that I may not be tedious I will discourse but of one sort therefore I mean that of Palladio for that I have applyed my design thereunto for its variety begining then with the Tuscan Order where he nameth his measure a Module instead of which our French Architects have given it the name of a Foot by the Standard Nevertheless the one cometh home to the other for if that lawful foot be divided into 12 inches or parts and one part into 12 points it is for the better to find out the smallest divisions of the least Fillets and the Module of Palladio is divided into sixty minutes which meaneth so many parts as likewise Vignola nameth parts of the Module and all to the same end to find the better the said divisions Scamozzi nameth it also a Module divided into sixty minutes whereby it must be noted that he which would allow the proportion to a Column ought to use that measure which the Order which he would follow hath used to compass it 1. Palladio hath allowed to the Enter Columns of the Tuscan Order two Modules and a half of distance between the two Columns to measure the space from the body of one Column to the body of the other Column below as you shall see it marked in the design that I have made thereof at the end of the Book where all the Arches or Portals or Enter-columns of each Order are reduced into small to serve for a demonstration only to the Reader the Arch or Portal of the same Order must have six Modules and 25 minutes of opening or largeness to take the space or largeness of the middle of the body of one Column of the said Arch to the middle of the body of the other Column on the opposite side as it is marked in the said design with a little Angle pointed in the middle of the bottom of the Column of the said Arches observing the same in every Order and the height of the said Arch or Portal shall have 7 Modules 40 minutes from its Plane unto its Center or Mould even as it is marked in the said design by little ends of lines pointed 2. It must be marked in the Dorick Order because Palladio hath divided his Module into two in this Order only and the Module into 30 minutes whereas in others he hath made 60 thereof the Enter-column of the said Order shall have 5 Modules and a half to measure as hath been said in the Tuscan Order and the Arch or Portal shall have 15 Modules of opening or largeness and its height shall have 20 Modules and a half from its Plane unto its Center or Mould as it is said of the Tuscan Order 3. Of the Ionick Order its Enter-column shall have two Modules and one fourth of distance and the Arch or Portal shall have 7 Modules and 17 minutes of opening or largeness and its height shall have 11 Modules from its Plane unto its Mould to measure as it is said here above 4. Of the Corinthian Order its Enter-columns shall have two Modules of distance and the Arch or Portal shall have 6 Modules and a half of largeness and its height shall have 11 Modules 10 minutes from its Plane unto its Mould measuring as here above 5. Of the Composite Order its Enter-columns shall have one Module and a half of distance and the Arch or Portal shall have 7 Modules and 15 minutes of opening or largeness its height shall have 12 Modules and 20 minutes from its Mould measuring as here above

parts take thereof the half of one fourteenth part for the largeness and the other half for the Projecture The Projecture of the remainder shall be made as it is noted in the Ichnographia of the body above the great Capital The diminishing of the body of the Column noted K shall be of the one part and of the other of a fourteenth part as it is said before of the Tuscan to the end that the height of the body may have twelve parts in thickness The height of the Capital noted L is the half of the body below divide it into three parts one for the Neck the other for the Boultin the third part again divide into three two for the square the third part of the Square is the Cimatum The Projecture of the Capital noted M shall be such as every part project into a Square over the Capital The Architrave is placed noted N which hath half the thickness of the Column the seventh part thereof is the Tenia and hath as much Projecture as the body of the Diminishing and place it as it appeareth in this Figure The Friese followeth noted O the height thereof on the left side is of three such parts as two of the Architrave the third part of the Friese divide into three one shall be the Fillet over the Trigliph which is made after this manner Its height from the Architrave unto the Fillet above divide into three parts whereof two shall be the breadth of the Friese and three the height From one Trigliph unto the other shall be a perfect Square in the which spaces noted P when for the greater Ornament one desireth to enrich them they may carve therein the heads of Beasts with Plates or Dishes named by Vitruvius Methopes and not without signification for the Antients purposing to make a Sacrifice of Bulls used also Plates or Dishes and placed such things for enrichment about their Temples Under the Trigliph are hanging six drops noted Q the which shall have in bigness the sixth part of the height of the Architrave the Fillet on which they hang is the fourth part of the Drops Above the Friese on the left side is placed the Cornish noted R which is of the same height with the Architrave The Cornish shall be divided into two parts whereof the first is to be divided into four one for the Cimatum two for the Corona the rest for the little Cima which is placed above The second part divided into seven is the O. G. which is set upon the Cornish and one seventh part joyned thereto shall be the Fillet upon the O. G. its Projecture must be square But the Projecture of the Cornish above the Cima is made in this manner the Architrave divide into three parts two shall be the Projecture of the Crown The right side noted S is made in this manner Divide the Architrave in three parts four such parts shall make the height of the Friese and the same height shall also be the Cornish The tenth part of the Friese shall be the Fillet above the Trigliph But you shall divide the Trigliph as it is said before in the Trigliph of the other side noted O. This Cornish divide into nine parts whereof two shall be for the two Facias one part shall be allowed for the Thorus or Boultin two to the Modelians two to the Crown two to the Cima The Modellions divide into three one part shall be for the O. G. which is upon the Modillions and the Projector is made also in such manner The two parts below which are allowed for the Facias divide into six parts two for the lower Fascia three for the upper Fascia the rest for the Fillet under the Boultin The Modillions noted T are made in this manner the Boultin to begin from the middle unto the end on the right side divide into six parts one for the half Modillion three between two and two for the Cartridges entire three for the Projecture all the other parts project in a Square But if you will flute the Column you shall make twenty four F●utes noted V and you shall hollow them in the manner which you see in the Ichnography or Plat-form over the great Capital enriched accompanied with its Base marked G G and as it appeareth also in the body of the Column noted V. It is that from the Flutes or one side to the other of the space of the fluting there shall be drawn a right line the which shall be the side of a Square and the said Quadrant or Square finished shall be set in the Center thereof noted I the Centrick foot of a Compass and with the other point shall be touched the one and the other Angle noted 2 and 3 and bringing it about they shall make its just hollowing the which shall make the fourth part of a Circle as it is demonstrated in the above-said Ichnography or Plat-form For the fluting which are made with an outstanding ridge but the Flutes of the Columns which are accompanied with a Plate-band or Fillet called by Vitruvius Strix about the end of the third Chapter of his fourth Book shall be the said Strix divided into five parts whereof four shall be allowed for the said Flute and the fifth for the Fillet or Plate-band according to that which shall be more fully declared in the Treatise of the Ionick Order in the Ichnography of the great Capital enriched noted N and its Ichnography noted S. But if one would make a delicate Column seem to be gross and material it will be needful to make 28 Flutes The Dimension made as is above said the Column will have its true Symmetry and Proportion as it appeareth in the Figure hereafter To make the Practice and use of the Members of the said Column here above particularized more easie to the Reader and Workman that is curious exactly to observe the Measures and Proportions which ought to be kept he shall find hereafter in a great Proportion a Pedestal noted in the middle with Y And in the other part of the leaf on the other side of the said Pedestal a Basis and Capital of proportion agreeable to the greatness of the said Pedestal noted Z. Above the which Capital is the half of the Ichnography or plain of the same from the which the Workman may be able to draw as much benefit as if it were compleated the which could not be made in respect of the bigness of the Plate upon the which the said Base and Capital are engraven There follows in two other pages two sorts of Architrave Friese and Cornish likewise in a great proportion adorned with enrichments necessary according to the Antiquity of the Dorick Order whereof one of the said Portratures containing the Architrave Friese and Cornish is noted in the said Friese in the midst A A where one may see designed in small all the Ornaments of the said Friese and the other over against it noted B B

each of the figures contained in the one and the other of the said Perpendiculars beginning below at the Base two inches under the figure 1 in the said two Perpendicular Lines drawn from the twelve points which the said foot containeth marked with the said 1 there will remain for the height of the said Base of the Column ten inches at fifteen feet of height the said Column containing its Base and Capital only the which the said Artist continuing ascending towards the top and Cornish of the said Column shall find the measures of all the particular Members of the Column as if the said perpendicular lines did begin from the end of the said Cornish tending downwards as he shall also do in all other heights of Columns proposed of the like Order without changing the Portract changing only other lines perpendicular as if instead of fifteen feet which we have supposed for Example the said Perpendicular Lines were divided by twenty parts signifying twenty feet and each foot into twelve inches as is aforesaid and consequently so of all other heights which shall be propounded to the said Workmen which have not Learning but only the practice of the Rule and Compasses they may by this means be able to help themselves by the said Pourtracts of Columns and use them to all such heights as they shall think fit without changing or defacing the Measures and Proportions of the same A New Treatise of the CORINTHIAN ORDER VVith its PEDESTAL CHAP.

THis Corinthian Column is very like to the former excepting the Pedestal which it hath more and likewise that its Cornishes differ from the former Corinthian which seemeth to be far more strong and firm The height of the Column noted A is divided into nine parts whereof the two first parts below shall make the height of the Pedestal which two parts being divided into 9 one shall be for the Cornish of the Pedestal and an other for the Basis the remainder divide into five parts whereof three are for the largeness of the Pedestal The Basis noted B divide into five parts whereof two shall be for the Plinth the remainder divide into four one part shall be for the lower Thorus two for the Scotia and the rest for the Astragale above the Scotia whereof the Fillet hath the third the fifth part of the Scotia is the Fillet above the Thorus the Projecture is the sixth part of the largeness of the Pedestal the Projecture of the Members remaining is such as this Figure sheweth it and as it is more fully declared in the Basis of the Pedestal being in a greater proportion on the other side noted O in the middle and below the Plinth of the said Basis The Cornish of the Pedestal noted C divide into two parts the upper part shall be the Fascia together with the Simatum divided into three one part is for the Simatum the two other parts shall be for the Corona the second and lower part divide into four whereof the fourth part shall be for the Scotia the three parts remaining divide in two the first part of the two shall make the Fascia above the Simatum the third of which shall be allowed for its Fillet and the other half shall be the Boultin under the Fascia or Corona the projecture of the Cornish is as the projecture of the Basis that is of one Quadrat Upon the Pedestal is placed the Column with its Base and Capital which divide in this manner The whole largeness of the Pedestal into six four shall make the thickness of the Column and on each side remaineth one part for the projecture of the Base The Column together with its Base and Capital noted D hath nine times in height the thickness of the Column below The Base of the Column noted E hath in height the half Diameter of the thickness of the Column below the height of the which divided into four parts one of them shall be the Plinth the three parts which remain divide into five whereof one part shall be the upper Thorus divide afterwards one of these five parts into four parts and 5 such parts shall be the lower Thorus upon the Plinth the space between the two Thorus's divide into twelve parts two shall make the two Astragals of the middle the half of the one of them maketh the Fillet under the upper Thorus one other half maketh the Fillet or Girt above the Astragale the other half maketh the Fillet under the Astragales The Base being on the right side of the present in a great Volumn differeth in nothing from the present but in the Plinth which beareth the third of the Diameter thereof whereas the other beareth but a fourth the Fillet above the Base of the Column where you see the twelve parts is made after this manner Divide the Diameter of the Column below noted F into twelve parts to each side one part this is the diminishing of the Column one half is the height of the Fillet and must project one whole part the Projecture of the other Members is shewed in the Base of the first Corinthian Column which is in a great form on the left side of the same noted O. On the Column is set the Capital noted G which is as high as the Diameter of the Column below The height of the said Capital is divided as may be seen in the great Capital on the left side noted P over the Rose in the midst of the Abacus The Volutes and Leaves are made according to the Declaration of the figure of the said Capital and are more fully declared in the figure of the great Capital noted R over the Rose of its Abacus being on the right side of the great Base enriched declared at the end of the Chapter of the first Corinthian Column without a Pedestal Under the Capital is the Astragale noted H which hath in height one twelfth part of the largeness of the Column below the which being divided into three you shall allow one part for the Fillet and two parts for the Astragale the Projecture is agreeable to the height the diminishing of the Column as that of the first Ionick Column in the third Chapter of the Book This Pillar may be fluted as the Ionick or as the first Corinthian as it is noted in the Ichnography of the said great Capital of the first Ionick Column noted upon its Abacus N the said Capital being on the right side of the great Ionick Base enriched in the third Chapter of the Book Upon the Capital is set the Architrave Friese and Cornish its height is the fourth part of the height of the Column and is made in this manner Divide the fourth part into ten parts allow the Architrave three parts the Friese three parts the Cornish four parts One seventh part of the Architrave noted I maketh the Simatum the rest divide into twelve parts whereof the lower Fascia shall have three
