The second Division of the third Place.
THe second manner of Division of the Ground-plot above mentioned keepeth that of the precedent in the breadth, which is divided in the Hall of twelve feet, and the Passage of three. The differenee consisteth in the changing the place of the Stairs and Kitchen, and in the enlargment of the Court for the story that is under, and in changing the place of the Chamber and Wardrobe in that above. The Hall shall have fifteen feet in depth, the Kitchen nine, upon eight and an half of breadth; forasmuch as the rest is employed in the Stair-case, which hath six feet in square. The Court hath ten feet in depth upon fifteen of breadth. The story above is conformable to that below, except the Passage; so that the Chamber will have fif∣teen feet in square, the whole within the work, as above.
The height of the first and second story shall have ten feet under the Joyst, which will be ten feet eight inches, containing therein the thickness of the Plancher; the which divided by the nineteen steps of the stairs, will afford us six inches nine parts for the height of each step.
The height of the third story shall have nine feet eight inches, containing the thickness of the Plancher: and therefore each step shall have six inches and one part of height, as in the precedent Figure.
Above may be Granaries or Chambers in garrets, from seven to eight feet high under the Joysts.
