great_a as_o they_o come_v further_a outward_a as_o well_o those_o which_o we_o behold_v from_o beneath_o upward_o as_o tho●e_v that_o we_o behold_v from_o above_o downward_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o spare_v to_o make_v this_o figure_n and_o to_o form_n and_o proportion_v it_o with_o all_o the_o member_n and_o part_n thereof_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o first_o

the_o easily_a to_o conceive_v how_o thing_n wax_v big_a when_o they_o come_v further_o outward_o but_o now_o i_o think_v that_o man_n understand_v it_o well_o i_o will_v show_v the_o mean_n and_o

first_o you_o must_v frame_v this_o base_a with_o all_o the_o member_n and_o with_o the_o right_a projecture_n thereof_o to_o be_v without_o any_o shorten_n before_o yet_o you_o must_v draw_v it_o light_o with_o a_o piece_n of_o lead_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v show_v unto_o you_o here_o with_o prick_n then_o in_o the_o ground_n or_o foot_n of_o the_o pillar_n you_o must_v draw_v the_o two_o diagonall_a line_n long_o enough_o out_o and_o thereby_o as_o i_o say_v before_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o diminish_n and_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o particular_a part_n of_o the_o crest_n of_o the_o say_v base_a whereas_o the_o undermost_a line_n or_o foot_n of_o the_o crest_n of_o the_o base_a bear_v much_o more_o broad_a and_o long_o than_o those_o that_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o prick_v then_o at_o each_o corner_n of_o the_o crest_n of_o the_o base_a you_o must_v draw_v a_o upright_a line_n almost_o as_o high_a as_o the_o first_o crest_n of_o the_o base_a although_o i_o have_v do_v it_o but_o upon_o the_o uttermost_a point_n not_o to_o cumber_v the_o work_n within_o than_o you_o must_v draw_v the_o uppermost_a corner_n of_o the_o first_o crest_n with_o prick_v also_o towards_o the_o horizon_n which_o downward_o will_v touch_v against_o the_o two_o upright_a line_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v the_o termination_n to_o close_a or_o shut_v up_o the_o second_o great_a crest_n with_o a_o full_a black_a line_n then_o draw_v another_o black_a line_n from_o the_o innermost_a point_n of_o the_o crest_n upward_o to_o the_o horizon_n and_o there_o the_o

line_n of_o the_o base_a for_o when_o from_o the_o uppermost_a corner_n of_o the_o first_o mark_v base_a you_o draw_v a_o hilding_a line_n to_o the_o innermost_a corner_n of_o the_o great_a crest_n with_o the_o black_a line_n by_o it_o you_o shall_v light_o find_v the_o termination_n of_o all_o the_o part_n or_o member_n draw_v the_o corner_n of_o the_o first_o base_a towards_o the_o horizon_n and_o when_o you_o have_v form_v all_o the_o innermost_a corner_n of_o the_o base_n by_o the_o horisentall_a line_n you_o may_v easy_o do_v the_o second_o and_o by_o the_o parallel_n line_n the_o uttermost_a of_o all_o although_o by_o the_o line_n of_o the_o distance_n you_o may_v bring_v the_o say_v corner_n somewhat_o near_a as_o you_o may_v so_o by_o the_o diagonall_a line_n but_o at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o that_o difficult_a or_o hard_a work_n for_o he_o that_o have_v any_o understanding_n herein_o may_v herewith_o help_v himself_o that_o which_o be_v here_o say_v of_o the_o base_n you_o must_v also_o understand_v of_o the_o cornice_n only_o that_o every_o thing_n be_v contrary_a and_o where_o you_o set_v perpendicular_a line_n below_o which_o cut_v

and_o learn_v it_o in_o the_o figure_n than_o it_o can_v be_v express_v by_o word_n and_o you_o must_v not_o be_v afraid_a or_o abash_v although_o at_o first_o you_o can_v conceive_v it_o for_o that_o by_o practise_v you_o shall_v in_o time_n find_v it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v or_o can_v learn_v all_o thing_n at_o once_o in_o one_o day_n by_o this_o cornice_n you_o

thing_n yet_o this_o hereunto_o annex_v be_v the_o easy_a first_o you_o must_v make_v a_o pavement_n with_o a_o quantity_n of_o four_o corner_a quadrant_n as_o it_o be_v also_o show_v in_o the_o

you_o will_v and_o they_o be_v raise_v towards_o the_o horizon_n than_o you_o must_v draw_v two_o several_a line_n over_o both_o the_o pillar_n and_o then_o out_o of_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o

to_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o half_a circle_n stand_v in_o the_o uppermost_a line_n then_o out_o of_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o two_o several_a line_n you_o must_v draw_v the_o less_o half_a circle_n and_o all_o termination_n of_o the_o flat_a arch_n be_v draw_v to_o the_o horizon_n than_o the_o first_o arch_n or_o gate_n be_v make_v the_o other_o two_o pillar_n upward_o draw_v to_o the_o

of_o one_o wydenesse_n as_o these_o be_v you_o need_v not_o deny_v the_o arch_n again_o for_o the_o horisentall_a line_n of_o the_o stone_n of_o the_o first_o arch_n will_v show_v you_o the_o

other_o arch_n and_o also_o how_o long_o the_o gallery_n must_v be_v and_o how_o many_o arch_n it_o must_v contain_v i_o have_v place_v no_o arch_n here_o in_o the_o side_n because_o i_o will_v not_o

may_v well_o guess_v although_o i_o write_v not_o particular_o thereof_o i_o have_v not_o likewise_o set_v the_o base_n nor_o the_o capital_n upon_o these_o pillar_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o

therefore_o here_o i_o have_v place_v the_o point_n of_o the_o distance_n and_o the_o horizon_n downward_o and_o have_v place_v the_o pillar_n in_o other_o manner_n upon_o this_o ground_n without_o

four_o cross_a point_n line_n to_o draw_v the_o half_a circumference_n the_o four_o square_n or_o quadrant_n above_o be_v as_o great_a as_o that_o below_o on_o the_o ground_n i_o need_v not_o show_v how_o you_o shall_v make_v it_o for_o you_o see_v it_o plain_a enough_o in_o the_o figure_n this_o figure_n be_v like_o the_o former_a only_o that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o base_n and_o capital_n

have_v show_v it_o before_o nevertheless_o when_o a_o man_n be_v perfect_a herein_o than_o he_o may_v by_o practice_n help_v himself_o well_o enough_o without_o all_o this_o labour_n use_v discretion_n and_o bear_n in_o memory_n that_o which_o he_o have_v imprint_v in_o his_o mind_n for_o in_o truth_n by_o this_o mean_n i_o mean_v the_o ground_n a_o man_n may_v by_o practice_n make_v many_o thing_n which_o if_o they_o be_v make_v with_o discretion_n and_o by_o a_o workman_n will_v always_o beautify_v the_o work_n as_o these_o bow_n or_o arch_n do_v which_o under_o be_v divide_v with_o quadrante_n as_o you_o may_v see_v they_o there_o be_v as_o you_o know_v first_o two_o centre_n to_o form_v the_o arch_n underneath_o now_o a_o wise_a workman_n must_v not_o always_o seek_v for_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o edge_n of_o these_o quadrant_n but_o for_o example_n say_v that_o the_o arch_n underneath_o be_v divide_v into_o eight_o part_n whereof_o six_o shall_v be_v for_o the_o quadrant_n and_o two_o part_n for_o the_o edge_n or_o border_n that_o run_v about_o it_o now_o you_o must_v divide_v the_o space_n between_o the_o one_o centre_n and_o the_o other_o also_o in_o eight_o part_n but_o they_o must_v shorten_v or_o lessen_v a_o little_a that_o be_v the_o nether_a part_n against_o the_o upper_a &_o then_o the_o compass_n be_v set_v somewhat_o low_o and_o make_v narrow_a then_o you_o must_v draw_v the_o uppermost_a border_n and_o then_o the_o compass_n be_v set_v a_o little_a below_o the_o neathermost_a centre_n you_o must_v in_o like_a sort_n draw_v the_o other_o edge_n or_o border_n after_o you_o must_v square_v or_o divide_v the_o quadrant_n leave_v the_o space_n between_o both_o once_o so_o broad_a again_o as_o the_o other_o which_o must_v be_v draw_v up_o towards_o the_o horizon_n and_o as_o much_o as_o you_o will_v make_v the_o quadrant_n sink_v you_o must_v also_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o last_o centre_n with_o the_o compass_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n a_o man_n may_v make_v diverse_a form_n and_o compartment_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v you_o must_v make_v they_o all_o with_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_a

nevertheless_o because_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v i_o will_v do_v the_o best_a i_o can_v to_o show_v it_o first_o you_o must_v choose_v the_o breadth_n and_o height_n of_o the_o
