capital_a which_o according_a to_o vitruvius_n make_v all_o the_o distinction_n betwixt_o the_o corinthian_a and_o jonick_a order_n be_v invent_v by_o this_o ingenious_a artisan_n upon_o this_o

thing_n that_o particular_o belong_v to_o architecture_n there_o be_v infinite_a other_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v by_o a_o architect_n for_o first_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o couch_v in_o write_v his_o intend_a building_n and_o to_o design_n the_o plan_n and_o make_v a_o excellent_a model_n of_o it_o geometry_n likewise_o be_v very_o

reason_n for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o ornament_n of_o architecture_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o history_n for_o example_n if_o instead_o of_o pillar_n he_o support_v the_o floor_n of_o the_o house_n with_o the_o figure_n of_o woman_n which_o be_v call_v cariatides_n he_o ought_v to_o know_v that_o the_o greek_n invent_v these_o figure_n to_o let_v posterity_n know_v the_o victory_n they_o obtain_v over_o the_o carien_n who_o wife_n they_o make_v captive_n and_o put_v their_o image_n in_o their_o building_n it_o be_v necessary_a likewise_o that_o he_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o

before_o art_fw-la iii_o what_o be_v the_o part_n of_o architecture_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o meet_v in_o every_o fabric_n viz._n solidity_n convenience_n and_o beauty_n which_o architecture_n give_v they_o by_o the_o due_a order_n and_o disposition_n of_o all_o the_o part_n that_o compose_v the_o edifice_n and_o which_o she_o rule_v by_o a_o just_a proportion_n have_v regard_n to_o a_o true_a decorum_n and_o well_o regulate_v occonomy_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o architecture_n have_v eight_o part_n viz._n solidity_n convenience_n beauty_n order_n disposition_n decorum_n oeconomy_n solidity_n depend_v upon_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o foundation_n choice_n of_o material_n and_o the_o right_a use_n of_o they_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v with_o a_o due_a order_n disposition_n and_o convenient_a proportion_n of_o all_o part_n together_o and_o of_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o another_o convenience_n likewise_o consist_v in_o the_o order_n and_o disposition_n which_o be_v so_o good_a that_o nothing_o hinder_v the_o use_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o edifice_n beauty_n consist_v in_o the_o excellent_a and_o agreeable_a form_n and_o the_o just_a proportion_n of_o all_o its_o part_n order_n be_v that_o which_o make_v that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o edifice_n have_v a_o convenient_a bigness_n whether_o we_o consider_v they_o apart_o or_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o whole_a disposition_n be_v the_o orderly_o range_v and_o agreeable_a union_n of_o all_o the_o part_n that_o compose_v the_o work_n so_o that_o as_o order_n respect_v the_o greatness_n disposition_n respect_v form_n and_o situation_n which_o be_v two_o thing_n comprise_v under_o the_o word_n quality_n which_o vitruvius_n attribute_n to_o disposition_n and_o oppose_v to_o quantity_n which_o appertain_v to_o order_n there_o be_v three_o way_n by_o which_o the_o architect_n may_v take_v a_o view_n beforehand_o of_o the_o fabric_n he_o be_v to_o build_v viz._n first_o ichnography_n which_o be_v the_o geometrical_a plan_n orthography_n which_o be_v the_o geometrical_a elevation_n and_o scenography_n which_o be_v perspective_n elevation_n proportion_n which_o be_v also_o call_v eurythmy_n be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o union_n of_o all_o part_n of_o the_o work_n and_o which_o render_v the_o prospect_n agreeable_a when_o the_o height_n answer_v the_o breadth_n and_o the_o breadth_n the_o length_n every_o one_o have_v its_o just_a measure_n it_o be_v define_v the_o relation_n that_o all_o the_o work_n have_v with_o its_o part_n and_o which_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v separately_z to_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o whole_a according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o any_o part._n for_o as_o in_o humane_a body_n there_o be_v a_o relation_n between_o the_o foot_n hand_n finger_n and_o other_o part_n so_o among_o work_n that_o be_v perfect_a from_o any_o particular_a part_n we_o may_v make_v a_o certain_a judgement_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o whole_a work_n for_o example_n the_o diameter_n of_o a_o pillar_n or_o the_o length_n of_o a_o triglyph_n create_v in_o we_o a_o right_a judgement_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o whole_a temple_n and_o here_o we_o must_v remark_n that_o to_o express_v the_o relation_n that_o many_o thing_n have_v one_o to_o another_o as_o to_o their_o greatness_n or_o different_a
