A building at Saint Sebastian’s

THis Building is w thout Rome. at S. Sebastians, and is all fallen downe to the ground, especially the walks about, but the Building in the middle (because it is very sure worke) is yet whole, and is made of Bricke: you sée no ornaments in it at all, & it is darke, because it hath no light but at the Doore; and aboue the foure hollow places in the wall, some small Windowes. The ground of this worke is measured with the old Romish Palme, and the lengths with the bredths are measured with coodes, and euery roode is ten Palmes. First, the walke or Gallery marked A. is 49. roodes and 3. Palmes, the other two longer, are 56. roodes and 3. Palmes: the bredth of the walkes is 32. Palmes: the thicknesse of the corner Pillars, with all their members, is 12. Palmes: by the which measures you may conceaue the rest. Touching the Building in the middle, the place B. is vncouered, and is in length 7. roodes and 6. Palmes: the bredth is 3. roodes and 4. Palmes: the part marked C. is couered, and containeth 4. roodes in foure square. The foure Pilasters are ten Palmes thicke: the thickenesse of the wall round about the round Building, is 24. Palmes: the place marked E. is roost: and that part in the middle is a masse, which beareth the roofe; in the middle whereof, there is an opening: and this masse is beautified with many hollow seates in it, which stand right, and accompany those that stand in the wall: touching the heights (because of the brokennesse) I measured it not; and especially, because there was no beautifulnesse of Building.
