Here followeth the particular members of the Corinthian Column: On the right side you have the Pedestal and Base; the Pedestal is ⅓ of the heighth of the Column, and is 3 ⅓ models, which divided in ⅞ 8 parts, thereof give the under-Cimacium 2 parts, the Neck of the Pedestal 5 ⅞ parts; the upper-Cimacium 1 part, the under-Cimacium is 45 minutes; thereof give the Plinth 30 minutes, the other member is 15 minutes, divided in 4 ⅛ parts; on the Cimacium is also two members, one Torus of ¾ and one list of ⅓: of the afore∣said parts, the upper-Cimacium is 22 ½ minutes, divided in 7 ⅜ parts, there under is one list of ⅜ parts goes off from the neck; the Base is one half model, divided in 6 ⅓ parts, and must go off the shaft of the Column 1/•• part and a ½ part: On the left side is the Ornament and the Ca∣pital; the Capital is high 1 model ⅙ or 70 minutes, which divided in 23 ⅓ parts; the Astragal is 1 ⅖ of the parts of the Capital: The Ornament is ⅕ part of the Columns height, and is 2 models; this divided in 15 parts, give 5 the Architrave,

XXXIII.

Shews how you may make the Corinthian Base, and the upper and under-Cimacium, with his Diagonal lines for inlarging the Projecture.

XXXIV.

Sheweth how the Corinthian Ornament is to be made, as the Architrave, Friese and Cornice with his Diagonal lines for inlarging the Projecture, easie to be understood; so draw one Diagonal line after a perfect quadrate of the whole Projecture of the Cornice; and in these Diagonal lines must all the Perpendicular lines come for the mem∣bers that are in the Projecture; and this outermost end must we then after this measure draw with the said Dia∣gonal, so that in the crossing, you make right Angels, that the height of the drawing members be parralel near to the Diagonal.

XXXV.

This is the Ornament of the Corinthian Order of the prin∣cipal Gate, and is 1 model 36 minutes high, (as before is de∣clared) thereof the Architrave hath 32 minutes; the Friese 25 ½ minutes; the Cornish 38 ½ minutes; the Architrave 32 mi∣nutes, divided into 9 ⅚ parts; thereof sticks farther out as the outer-edge of the Door-stile 7 ⅔ parts, or 8 ½ minutes farther for Cornishing; and let the ears of the Architrave be 17 parts long; of the fore-given parts, or 55 ½ minutes to underneath, besides all other the Cornishing of the Architraves, as you may see in the Figure; the Friese is 25 ½ minutes, divided in 7 parts for making the Voluta or Scroll, and draw one line up: the fourth part, or 14 ½ minutes frome above off right Parallels; so there remains 3 parts or 11 minutes for the standing out be∣neath, and the eye of the Scroll is 1/7 part, or 3 minutes and 2/14 of

the height of the Friese; and draw a Line perpendicular from above to the under-edge of the ear of the Architrave, and where the lines cut cross each other, here is the middle of your eye: strike out the cross 4 parts 16 ½ minutes near to the outside, and 3 ½ parts, or 12 ½ minutes to the inside, and draw your Scroll then after this manner here drawn: the Scroll or Voluta beneath is ⅕ part 5 ½ minutes smaller, as the upper-Scrol is, and is high 20 minutes, and the breadth 12 ½ minutes: divide the height in 8 parts, and draw a Parallel-line of 4 ½ parts, or 11 ¼ minutes from beneath to above, and there the Parallel-line cut cross the Perpendicular is the middle of the eye, strikes out cross 3 ½ parts, or 8 ¾ minutes to above, and 4 parts or 10 minutes to the outside; and there remains over 5 parts, or 12 ½ minutes to the inside; farther all that belongs to it may you in the Figure here plainly see; as for the breadth of the Scroll is 2 ⅝ parts of the Cornices given parts, or 19 minutes; the other members be∣fore may be seen in the Figure.
