pedestal_n big_a for_o the_o one_o order_n then_o for_o another_o although_o this_o part_n much_o add_v to_o the_o beauty_n and_o ornament_n when_o it_o be_v make_v with_o discretion_n and_o proportion_n to_o the_o other_o part_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o architect_n may_v take_v notice_n and_o serve_v themselves_o upon_o occasion_n and_o know_v that_o they_o make_v they_o sometime_o square_a that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o long_o as_o broad_a as_o in_o the_o arch_n di_fw-it lioni_n at_o verona_n and_o these_o i_o have_v assign_v to_o the_o doric_a order_n because_o it_o require_v solidity_n sometime_o they_o be_v make_v take_v the_o measure_n from_o the_o light_n of_o the_o arch_n as_o in_o the_o arch_n of_o titus_n at_o sancta_fw-la maria_fw-la nova_fw-la in_o rome_n and_o in_o that_o of_o trajan_n on_o the_o gate_n of_o ancona_n where_o the_o pedestal_n be_v half_a the_o height_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o arch_n and_o of_o that_o kind_n of_o pedestal_n i_o have_v put_v to_o the_o jonick_a order_n and_o sometime_o they_o take_v the_o measure_n from_o the_o height_n of_o the_o column_n as_o be_v see_v at_o susa_n a_o city_n situate_a at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o mountain_n which_o divide_v italy_n from_o france_n in_o a_o arch_n make_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o augustus_n caesar_n and_o in_o the_o arch_n of_o pola_n a_o city_n of_o dalmatia_n and_o in_o the_o amphitheatre_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o jonick_a and_o corinthian_a order_n in_o which_o building_n the_o pedestal_n be_v the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o height_n of_o the_o column_n as_o i_o have_v make_v in_o the_o corinthian_a order_n in_o verona_n in_o the_o arch_n di_fw-it castel_n vecchio_n which_o be_v very_o beautiful_a the_o pedestal_n be_v a_o three_o of_o the_o height_n of_o the_o column_n as_o i_o have_v put_v in_o the_o composita_fw-la order_n and_o these_o be_v the_o handsome_a form_n of_o pedestal_n and_o have_v the_o best_a proportion_n with_o their_o other_o part_n and_o when_o vitruvius_n discourse_v of_o theatre_n make_v mention_v of_o the_o poggio_n you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o poggio_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o pedestal_n which_o be_v the_o three_o of_o the_o length_n of_o the_o column_n put_v for_o ornament_n of_o the_o scene_n but_o of_o pedestal_n which_o exceed_v a_o three_o of_o the_o column_n such_o be_v see_v at_o rome_n in_o the_o arch_n of_o constantine_n where_o the_o pedestal_n be_v two_o part_n and_o half_a of_o the_o height_n of_o the_o column_n and_o almost_o in_o all_o the_o ancient_a pedestal_n the_o base_n be_v observe_v to_o have_v be_v make_v twice_o as_o big_a as_o the_o cimacium_n as_o be_v see_v in_o my_o book_n of_o arch_n chap._n xx._n of_o error_n have_v set_v down_o the_o ornament_n of_o the_o architecture_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o five_o order_n and_o show_v how_o they_o be_v make_v and_o lay_v down_o the_o profile_v of_o each_o of_o their_o part_n which_o i_o find_v that_o the_o ancient_n do_v observe_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o unfit_a here_o to_o acquaint_v the_o reader_n of_o many_o abuse_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o the_o barbarous_a be_v yet_o observe_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o studious_a in_o this_o art_n may_v avoid_v they_o in_o their_o own_o work_n and_o understand_v they_o in_o other_o i_o say_v then_o that_o architecture_n as_o all_o other_o art_n be_v be_v imitatrix_fw-la of_o nature_n account_v nothing_o tolerable_a which_o be_v estrange_v and_o differ_v from_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a wherefore_o we_o see_v that_o those_o ancient_a architect_n who_o build_v with_o timber_n when_o they_o begin_v to_o build_v with_o stone_n direct_v that_o the_o column_n may_v be_v less_o at_o the_o top_n then_o at_o the_o foot_n take_v example_n from_o tree_n which_o be_v all_o less_o at_o the_o top_n then_o in_o the_o trunk_n and_o near_o the_o root_n likewise_o because_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a that_o those_o thing_n upon_o which_o any_o great_a weight_n be_v put_v shall_v be_v press_v under_o the_o column_n they_o put_v a_o base_a which_o with_o their_o torus_fw-la and_o seetia_n seem_v by_o the_o burden_n over_o they_o to_o be_v swell_v so_o also_o in_o the_o cornice_n they_o bring_v in_o the_o triglife_n modiglion_n and_o the_o dentill_n which_o shall_v represent_v the_o head_n of_o the_o joice_v which_o in_o the_o seal_n be_v place_v to_o bear_v up_o the_o roof_n the_o same_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o all_o other_o part_n if_o you_o be_v curious_a and_o be_v so_o you_o can_v but_o blame_v that_o form_n of_o building_n which_o deviate_v from_o that_o which_o nature_n instruct_v and_o from_o that_o simplicity_n which_o be_v direct_v in_o thing_n by_o she_o produce_v frame_v as_o it_o be_v another_o nature_n and_o depart_v from_o the_o true_a good_a and_o handsome_a manner_n of_o building_n for_o which_o reason_n you_o ought_v not_o instead_o of_o column_n or_o pilaster_n which_o be_v to_o bear_v up_o some_o great_a weight_n to_o place_n cartouch_v which_o be_v certain_a scroll_n which_o to_o the_o intelligent_a seem_v deform_v and_o to_o the_o ignorant_a rather_o confusion_n than_o pleasure_n nor_o do_v they_o produce_v other_o effect_n than_o incrcese_n the_o charge_n of_o the_o builder_n likewise_o you_o must_v not_o make_v any_o of_o those_o cartonche_n come_v out_o of_o the_o cornice_n for_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o cornice_n be_v make_v to_o some_o end_n and_o to_o make_v appear_v what_o it_o will_v be_v if_o the_o work_n be_v frame_v of_o timber_n and_o beside_o be_v it_o be_v convenient_a that_o to_o uphold_v a_o great_a weight_n something_o solid_a and_o fit_a to_o support_v that_o weight_n be_v require_v questionless_a those_o cartouche_n be_v altogether_o superfluous_a because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o timber_n whatever_o can_v real_o perform_v what_o these_o seem_v for_o feign_v itself_o to_o be_v soft_a and_o gentle_a i_o know_v not_o by_o what_o rule_n they_o put_v they_o under_o any_o thing_n heavy_a and_o hard_o but_o that_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n import_v much_o be_v the_o abuse_n in_o make_v frontispiece_n of_o door_n window_n and_o gallery_n divide_v in_o the_o middle_n because_o they_o be_v make_v to_o defend_v the_o inhabitant_n from_o rain_n i_o know_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a to_o natural_a reason_n then_o to_o divide_v and_o open_v that_o part_n which_o the_o ancient_n instruct_v by_o necessity_n itself_o do_v make_v whole_a and_o raise_v in_o the_o middle_n to_o show_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o serve_v to_o defend_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o house_n and_o those_o that_o enter_v therein_o from_o rain_n snow_n and_o haile_n and_o although_o variety_n and_o novelty_n shall_v please_v all_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o go_v against_o the_o precept_n of_o art_n and_o that_o which_o reason_n demonstrate_v whence_o we_o see_v that_o although_o the_o ancient_n do_v vary_v yet_o never_o depart_v from_o the_o general_a and_o necessary_a rule_n of_o art_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o my_o book_n of_o antiquity_n also_o concern_v the_o projecture_n of_o the_o cornice_n and_o other_o ornament_n it_o be_v no_o small_a abuse_n in_o make_v they_o come_v too_o forward_o because_o when_o they_o exceed_v that_o which_o according_a to_o reason_n be_v fit_a for_o they_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v in_o a_o close_a place_n they_o seem_v narrow_a and_o uncomely_a and_o put_v fear_n in_o those_o which_o stand_v underneath_o threaten_v always_o to_o fall_v you_o ought_v as_o much_o to_o avoid_v make_v the_o cornice_n disproportionable_a to_o the_o column_n put_v great_a cornice_n upon_o little_a column_n or_o upon_o great_a column_n little_a cornice_n who_o doubt_v but_o that_o such_o a_o building_n will_v seem_v very_o ill_o favour_v beside_o to_o make_v the_o column_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o several_a part_n make_v ring_n and_o wreathe_n about_o they_o as_o it_o be_v to_o hold_v they_o together_o aught_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v to_o be_v avoid_v because_o how_o much_o the_o more_o entire_a and_o strong_a the_o column_n appear_v so_o much_o the_o more_o they_o perform_v the_o design_n for_o which_o they_o be_v place_v which_o be_v to_o render_v the_o work_n above_o secure_a and_o firm_a many_o other_o like_a abuse_n may_v be_v reckon_v up_o as_o of_o some_o member_n which_o in_o the_o cornice_n be_v make_v disproportionable_a to_o the_o other_o which_o by_o what_o i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o by_o that_o which_o be_v now_o say_v may_v be_v easy_o
