A65137	An abridgment of the architecture of Vitruvius containing a system of the whole works of that author : illustrated with divers copper plates, curiously engraved : with a table of explanation : to which is added in this edition the etymology and derivation of the terms used in architecture / first done in French by Monsr Perrault, of the Academy of Paris, and now Englished, with additions.

eurythmy_n and_o symmetry_n but_o we_o have_v think_v it_o proper_a only_a to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n proportion_n because_o eurythmy_n be_v a_o greek_a word_n which_o signify_v nothing_o

understand_v by_o proportion_n a_o relation_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o symmetry_n in_o the_o vulgar_a language_n signify_v only_o a_o relation_n of_o parity_n and_o equality_n for_o the_o word_n simmetria_n signify_v in_o latin_a and_o greek_a relation_n only_o as_o for_o example_n as_o the_o relation_n that_o window_n of_o eight_o foot_n high_a have_v with_o other_o window_n of_o six_o foot_n when_o the_o one_o be_v four_o foot_n broad_a and_o the_o other_o three_o and_o symmetry_n in_o the_o vulgar_a language_n signify_v the_o relation_n for_o example_n that_o window_n have_v
