The Trunk of the Column is of the height of one Model, and 7 parts over, in like manner as the Friese of the Capital, which for that reason hath nothing of projecture.
Although the Tuscan Order seldom hath a Pedestal, yet it is made here for Example sake, as in the Figure marked B. And in all the 5 Orders take this for a general Rule, That the Pedestal with its Ornaments must be one third part of the Column, with its Basis and Capital; likewise the Ornaments above, viz. the Architrave, Friese, and Cornice must make one fourth part of the same. And if you are to make any of the 5 Orders, you must divide the height of the Co∣lumn with its Ornaments into 19 parts; then take the height of the Column with its Basis, and Capital, and make the divisions of the Models according to its Order, as the Dorick, Ionick, &c. Then frame the Fabrick with this Model, divi∣ding its parts, as may be seen in the said Figure marked B, where A, doth represent the Body of the Column; B, the nether Band or Swathe; E, the List; F, the Gula, or Throat reversed in the Pe∣destal; G, the Body of the Column, and so forth.
The Figure A, shews the Capital, Architrave, Friese, and Cornish of the said Tuscan Order; And the Figure B, tho Base, and Pedestal there∣of.
