Of diuers formes of Temples

HAuing shewed the ground of this round Temple, this Figure sheweth the body of the Temple, both without and within, for that it is purposely made broken, to sée both. The inner part of the Temple is made after the maner of Corinthia. The whole height from the Pauement below, to the Roofe aboue, is 60. foot; whereof 30. foote are for the •ettle or round roofe: the rest netherwards, shall be deuided in 5. parts and an halfe; whereof one part shalbe for Cornice. Fréese and Architraue. The foure parts and an halfe resting, shalbe the height of the Columnes, with Bases and Capitals, whereof altogether, you shall finde the particular measures in my fourth Booke, in the Corinthia. The Niches betweene the flat Pillars, shalbe 10. foot high the other shalbe of 15. foot high. The hole aboue the Roofe, shalbe the seuenth part of the widenesse of the Diameter of the Temple: aboue, vpon that hole, there may bee a Lanthorne made, stopt with glasse, or it may be left open, whereat there will come in light inough to the middle of the Temple, for that the Chappels haue light inough at their windowes: the top of this Temple will best bee couered with Lead: the Cornice without, shall stand like that within, but much greater of members, because it standeth in the weather. Touching the Doores, you find them sufficiently set volume in my fourth Booke.

ALthough the ground of this Temple following is round also, yet it hath an alteration by the foure bearings out, which are thrée Chappels, and also the going in of the same fashion. The Diameter of this Temple is 48. foot: the thickenesse of the wall is a seuenth part of the Diameter. The Chappels are 14. foot in fouresquare, without the Niches. The other 4. Niches or small Chappels shalbe 9. foot broad: the fouresquare. Chappels haue their light on the sides; but the light of the Temple aboue in the Roofe, shall be wide the fift part of the Diameter, with a Lanthorne vpon it, as it is sayd of the other: you shall goe vp to this Temple also with fiue stayres, and for that the corners without the Temple lye alwayes foule, I thinke it were not amisse to make a fouresquare wall about it, as high as the going vp, that people may not so easily come to it.

HEre you sée the Chappel standing vpright (whereof the ground is on the other side) which sheweth as well within as without, because it séemeth as if it were broken. The height within, is like the Diameter, that is, 48. foot. The halfe shall be for the halfe round roofe, and the hole aboue for the light, as I sayd before, shalbe wide the fift part of the Diameter; whereon there shall be a Lanthorne, made with glasse, as the Figure sheweth, and the Roofe without, couered with Lead or other stuffe. From the Roofe netherwards, the Cornicement shall bee made of two foot and an halfe high, formed like Impost of the Arch of the Theater of Marcellus, in the fourth Booke and the seuenth Chapter, Folio 37. and shall serue for Capitals, vnlesse it be the Plinthus with the Cimatie, which shall serue for Corona. The Pilasters are broad 4. foot can halfe. The great Chappels are 21. foot high. The smalest Chappels shalbe 13. foot and an halfe high, halfe round aboue. Aboue those 3. fouresquare Chappels, and ouer the going in, there may be flat couers, somewhat falling downe, to voyd the water: a man may also make steps within the thickenesse of the wall, to goe vp, and an yron or stone rayle, to rest or leane vpon. The Temple may bee couered with such stuffe, as may best be prouided: but Lead would be the surest.

AFter the round Figure, which is the perfectest, the best are the Quale, that is, like an Egge; therefore I haue made a Temple of that fashion: which Temple shalbe 46. foot broad, and 66. foot long. The thickenesse of the wall shall be 8. foot, & within it the Chappels shall stand: and although they be not too large, yet a man néeds not cut them off. T•e widenes of the 2. greatest Chappels, holds 20. foot and an halfe; within the which are two Niches. each 4. foot bread. The Columnes shall bee a foote and an halfe thicke, and the halfe Columnes accordingly. The spaces betwéene the middlemost Columnes shall be 7. foot and an halfe: the other shall contayne 4. foot and one fourth part. These two Chappels shall each of them haue 3. windowes: the middlemost shalbe 6. foot wyde, and the other on the sides each thrée foot. The Chappell with the high Altar, shalbe 10. foot broad, and 6. foot farre in the wall, with Niches, like the great, and a windowe aboue the Altar, of 6. foot wide. The 4. other Chappels shalbe a halfe Circle, 10. foot wyde, hauing the like Niches also, and a window of 4. foot wyde, aboue the Altar. And for that this Chappell hath light inough of it selfe, it might suffice for the whole Temple: but to make it lighter, there may be windowes made aboue the Chappels. This Temple shall also go vp fiue steps: the doore shalbe sixe foot wyde, and shalbe beautified with 4. Pillars, after the Corinthia maner: the going in shalbe like the Chappell with the high Altar.

THis Figure ensuing, sheweth the Quale Temple within, which from the Pauement to the Roofe, shall be as high as broad, that is, of 36. foot: from the Pauement, till you come aboue the Cornice, it shalbe 23. foot: which height deuided in fiue, one part shalbe for Architraue, Fréese and Cornice: the other 4. parts shall bee for the height of the Pillars, which separate the Chappels. The particular measures hereof you finde in my fourth Booke, in the order of Corinthia; for that this Temple is made of such worke. The height of the round Columnes shalbe 12. foot. The Architraue, that holdeth vp the Arch, is 2. foot. The Gate (as it is sayd in the ground) shalbe be•tified with foure flat Pillars, of such forme and measure, as those that stand within the Temple; and also with such Cornicements: the Gate or Doore shall haue an Arch standing vpon two Pillars, betwéene the flat Pillars: the Roofe of this Temple may be beautified, as you see it in the Figure; and richlyer also, making the Windowes aboue the Cornice, hanging downewards, as you sée, and couer the Temple with Lead, which is best: and so the windowes shall bee preserued well ynough.

ALthough this forme is fiue cornerd, which in Building is not so handsome, therefore within I haue made it of ten corners. The Diameter of this Temple is 62. foot long: the Diameter of the Lanthorne is 12. foot: the fiue great Chappels are 15. foot in fouresquare, without the thrée Niches, which are tenfoote wide. The small Chappels are 15. foot broad, and goe 4. foot into the wall, to the halfe Circle, which is, 13. foot wide. The great Chappels shall haue two windowes, and the small one: the widenesse of the doores is 7. foot and an halfe. The Gallery without, shalbe 10. foot broad, and 24. foot long. The 4. Pillars thereof, shalbe 2. foot fouresquare. The middlemost space betwéene the Pillars, shall be 10. foot, and the other 2. spaces shalbe 4. foot. The sides of the Gallery shall haue a leaning place made with Balusters: In the sides of the Gates, there shall stand 2. payre of winding stayres, to goe vp vpon the Portall, and also round about the Temple. This Temple is 9. foot eleuated from the ground, and it may be made hollow vnderneath.

ALthough this Temple is shut, yet I will show the measure within; it is as high as broad within, that is, 62. foot. The Lanthorne is also as high as broad to the Cornice: the Roose is of halfe a Circle. The roofe of the Temple is also halfe a Circle, high 31. foot, the rest netherwards. The Cornice shall haue two foot and an halfe, formed like the Impost of the Theater of Marcellus, in the fourth Booke, in the order of Ionica, marked T. Folio 37. This Cornice shall be set without, like the innermost, but greater. The fouresquare Pillars of the Portall, are 14. foot high, with Bases and Capitall, Dorica. The Architraue is halfe the thickenesse of the height of the Pillar: about the Arch, the Cornice is the fourth part lesse then the great, but of the same forme, and shall serue for Capitall vpon the Pillars. Aboue this Cornice, there shalbe a place brest-high, made with Iron Balusters. The two pieces aboue this Temple, shew the Chappels within: and that with the crosse, she weth the greatest Chappell, whereof the light is 25. foot. The other piece marked L. she weth the lesse Chappell, which is also 25. foot high: the Pilasters that separate the Chappels, are thrée foot broad: the height is 19. foot: and there shall be a Cornice made, which shall goe round about the Temple, seruing for Capitals vpon the sayd Pilasters; which forme shalbe made after the Dorica Temple, but a little altered: the Cornicement, vpon the Lanthorne, may be made with Architraue, Freese and Cornice.

THe ground of the Temple following shalbe sixe cornerd, being in Diameter 25. foote: and the wall 5. foote thicke. The widenesse of the Chappels are 10. foote, and stand 4. foote within the wall. The widenesse of the Niches is 2. foote. The Doore of the Temple is 5. foote wide, adorned with double Pillars, which are a foote and a quarter thicke. The going vp is 5. steps, or more if you will, yet vneuen. Each Chappell hath a Window, of foure foote and a halfe broad, which will bring in light inough, although there be no Lanthorne. On the 6. corners without the Temple, there shalbe flat Pillars made, of 2. foote and a quarter broad, comming out a little. And if you would make the Temple greater, and for want of stones you could make it no thicker Columnes: then you might make it Corinthia, or Ionica, or Dorica, if you will: and then you may helpe your selfe with Pedestals.

NOw I haue shewed the ground of the 6 cornerd Temple, • must shew it standing vpright, and a•so describe it as well within as without: for although the Temple be wholy closed vp, yet I haue set a Chappell aboue euer it, to see it within, for that they are all fiue or one forme; and the going in also is of the same forme. But ouching the outermost part, I say, that the height from the pauement below, till you come aboue the Cornice, shalbe 18. f•ote. The Cornice round about the Temple, shall be made of a foote and a halfe: but the members of the sayd Cornice shall be made according to the Chapter of Dorica, for that it shall also serue for Capitall vpon the Pilasters, at the 6. corners. Touching the Plinthus with the Cimatie, for that it shall serue for a Corona, it shall go but right through aboue the Pilasters, as you may see in the Figure. The Portall before shall bee beautifyed with round Columnes, & with flat Counterpillars: whereof the middlemost Intercolumnes (or spaces betweene the Columnes) shalbe 7. foote and a halfe. The Columnes shall bee a foote and a halfe thicke: but the space betwéene each 2. Columnes, and Pillars, shall be halfe a foote: these sayd Columnes shalbe 8. foot and three fourth parts high. The Capitals shalbe Dorica: but the Bases, because they stand below at the foote, in the rayne and the wind, and also for that they should bee the Bases for the flat Pillare, and the great Pilasters, going about the Temple on all sides, therefore they shalbe made Tuscana. The height of the Architraue shall bee a foote, whereon the Arch shall stand: and the Doore shalbe adorned as you sée it in the Figure. The going in shalbe 5. steps at the least. The Roefe shall be couered with a thing, which in those Countreyes lasteth long, and is easy to bee had, otherwise it were best to be of Lead: and this is touching the worke without. To speake of the in•ard part, it is sayd, that 1. Chappell serueth for all: the bredth of these Chappele hold each of them 10. foot: and in height 13. foot and a halfe, and enter 4. foot into the wal•: on •ach side they haue a Niche, which to 2. foot broad: aboue the Altar there is a window, which is 4. foot and a halfe broad: and 7. foote high. The Cornice within the Temple shall stand of the same height that the outermost doth, and shall also bee of the same figures: for the Plinthus with the Cimatie, shal also go right through, round about the Temple, without bearing out aboue the Pilasters: otherwise a man may make them much slenderer then they that stand in the rayne and the wind. You may also make the Bases after Dorica: and although all the other Temples shewed before, haue their heights within, like the bredth or the Diameter, so shall this, neuerthelesse, though it be so small, be halfe a Diameter more higher, that is a Diameter and a halfe, which is seuen and thirty foote and a halfe.

ALthough those aforesayd, and some Temples following, haue no Stéeple for Bels to hang in, as the Christians vse to haue; nor any Vestries, nor other places for men to withdraw themselues in: yet they must, neuertheles, be handsomely made without, but so, that men may go through the Temple into them: all which subiects and inuentions shall not want in my other Booke. The ground of this Temple is 8. square: whereof the Diameter within shalbe 43. foote: and the wall 8. foote. The Chappels are 12. foote wide, and stand 6. foote within the wall. Thrée Chappels are of halfe a Circle, and the other 3. with the going in are 4. square. Each Chappell hath 2. Nithes, which are 4. foote broad. The 3. windowes in the halfe Circles are 4. foote broad: the other 3. with the Columnes are 11. foote wide. The Doore is 5. foote wide. In the middle of the Temple a man may set an Altar, couered with a Tribune, vpon 8. Pilasters. The Diameter hereof shalbe 12. foote long: and if you will make this Temple greater, you may make it more féete.

THe Figure hereunder serueth for the 8. square ground, afore set downe, and is the sayd Temple as it is without. From the highest step to the vppermost part of the Cornice, it is 21. foote and a halfe, which is the halfe of the innermost height. The Cornice shall contayne 2. foote, deuided as in the Chapter Dorica; and shall also beare out ouer the Pilasters, without the Plinthus, as in the Figure. You shall also set a simple Base vnderneath thrée fourth parts of a foote high. The bredth of the Pilasters at the corners, shalbe of 3. foote: and those that stand inwards shalbe but 2. foote broad. The Doore is 5. foote wide, and shalbe 13. foote and a halfe high. The Ornaments of this Doore you find in the fourth Booke, by the Ionica, Folio 38. The maner of the widenesse is sufficiently séene in the Figure: if you will haue more light in the Temple, then you may make a hole aboue, and that to bee couered with glasse, poynt-wise, agaynst the rayne.

ACcording to this innermost Orthographie, the Cornices and Pillars are of forme & height like the innermost: from the Cornices vpwards, the roofe is a halfe Circle: the 3. greatest Chappels are roost with Arches, and are 18. foot high. The round Columnes shalbe thrée quarters of a foot thick, and the halfe accordingly, and shall be sixe foot and an halfe high: the Architraue, whereon the Arch comes, shall also be thrée quarters of a foot: the inter-Columnes in the middle, shall be foure foot and an halfe, and on eyther side two foot and an halfe. The Chappels of halfe a Circle, shall also be 18. foot high: the Niches of all the Chappels shalbe ten foot high: the Tribune that should stand in the middle with the Altar, is figured aboue: and from the ground to aboue the Cornice, it is 18. foote high: the Cornicement thereof is thrée foot: the rest is for the Pillars, where, on the sides, you may make Pilasters with Arches, and all Dorica worke, as well within as without. The Tribune is of a halfe Circle.

ALthough this ground without is fouresquare, yet within it is 8. cornerd, whereof the Diameter within is 65. foot, and the wall 16. foot. The going in of all the Chappels, is 12. foot, and the wall there, is 3. foot and an halfe thicke. The corner Chappels shalbe 16. foot fouresquare within: the Niches with Altars, shalbe 12. foot broad: the 4. open, and two blind windowes, shalbe 3. foot and an halfe: the two lesser Chappels shalbe 22. foot long within, without the Niches. The Niches shalbe 10. foot broad: the windowes shalbe 6. foot wide: the Portall without, is 27. foot long, and flue foot wide: right ouer against the flat Pillars stand round Columnes, which are one foot and 3. quarters thicke. The doore is 6. foot wide: the Portall within, is almost like one of the small Chappels. You may also set a high Altar in the middle, with a Tribune, whereof the Diameter is 20. foot: the Pilasters are thrée foot and an halfe thicke: the flat Pillars at the corners are thrée foot broad.

THis is the Orthographie of the aforesayd ground, of the eyght cornerd and fouresquare Temple, which is the Figure as it is without, whereof I will describe the height: and first, from the Pauement, to the highest part of the Cornice, it is 22. foot and an halfe: the height thereof deuided in sixe parts, one shall be for the Architraue, Fréese and Cornice, the other fiue parts are for the Pillars, which being two foot and an halfe broad, yet they are not too long, because they stand two together, and little raysed vp. The measure of all together, you may find in the order of Ionica, in the fourth Booke. A•oue this Cornice standeth the Tribune, whereon there shall stand a Lanthorne, to giue light into the middle of the Temple, whereof you may easily finde the measure, with the small foot that standeth in the ground. The round Columnes before the Portall, shalbe 13. foot high: the Architraue is a foot: aboue the Arch, the Cornice shalbe the thickenesse of a Columne below, deuided as in the Capitall of Dorica. The Frontispicie riseth to the Architraue of the Temple: the going vp is of fiue steps: the finall figure marked with A. is one of the Chappels without, which comes three foot out of the wall: the windowe whereof is 10. foot high, beside the light aboue the Cornice, and aboue it is halfe round, couered as you see.

NOw I haue shewed the ground and Orthography without of the Temple in fouresquare, I will also describe the 8. cornerd Temple within, & set it here beneath in Figure. And here you sée how men going vp the Stayres which are figured in the entry of the ground, go vp to yᵉ fayre walke. The height of this Temple within is almost like all the Temples before set downe, and also which are found in Antiquities, that is, as high as broad, which forme is taken out of the Circle. The round Roofe, as for the halfe Circle, occupieth the one halfe, and of the other halfe downewards there shalbe 6. parts made, whereof one part shall be for the Architraue, Fréese and Cornice, which shalbe made after the Dorica: the other 5. parts are for the wall with the Pillars, which also are 2. foote and a halfe broad, like the outermost, but for Capitall and Base, like the Dorica. The measures both of Capitals, Bases, Architraue, Fréese and Cornice, you shall also find in the aforesayd fourth Booke, in the Order of Dorica. The bredth of the going in of all the Chappels is 12. foote: but the height of the sayd Chappels is 24. foote. The 4. greatest Chappels which stand in the corners are 14. foote within, fouresquare, with their Pilasters, with Arches vpon them. The height of all the Niches. as well of those that are 10. foote broad, as those of 12. foote, shall all be 15. foote high. The Lanthorne shall hold 13. foote in Diameter: and the rest the Architector shall easily find with the small foote.

THis ground standing hereunder may be named crosse-wise, whereof the principall place in the middle containeth 48. foot in Diameter. The 4. Niches, with the 4. goings through, are each 10. foot broad; but the goings through are 15. foote long. The foure small Temples hold in Diameter 36. foote; and their Niches, and Windowes, (wherein you may place Altars) and the Doores are each sire foot wyde. The 4. places within the 4. corners, may be dwellings for Priests, & other Church Officers, and are 16. foot fouresquare: aboue them, you may place foure Towers, and go vp into them through the stayres. The foure round formes may be Vestries, and other places for men to withdraw themselues. This whole fouresquare, without inclosing the innermost round Temple, contayneth on all sides 88. foot. The principall going in shall haue 9. steps, and the Doore may also bee greater thou the other two in the sides.

FRom the ground before shewed, here standeth the Orthography of the sayd Temple with one of the sides that is before, although a man should set them out all foure, at least thrée, in this maner. The height of the first Story, beginning at the highest step of the going vp to the vppermost part of the Cornice, shalbe 38. foote; which height, deuided in 6. parts, one shalbe for the Architraue, Fréese and Cornice, and this shall inclose the whole Temple round about. From this first Cornice, to the second of the middle Temple, it shalbe 13. foote: of this height you shall make 5. parts: whereof one shall be for the Fréese, Cornice, and Architraue. The same great part of the Cornices shall also serue for the Lanthornes of the 4. least Chappels: which Lanthornes within shall contayne 8. foote in Diameter. The 3. Order agaynst the 4. Towers shall haue but a flat Facie, right like the foote of the greatest Lanthorne which standeth vpon the round roofe. The sayd Lanthorne within shall hold 10. foote in Diameter; and the height without the Kettle stone shalbe 16. foote: this height deuided in 5. the one part shalbe for the Cornicement of this Lanthorne, and the other shalbe Corinthian Pillars. The fourth Order of the Towers shall also be of the same height, and beautifyed with the same Cornicement: and although that from this Cornicement netherwards, the Order of the Towers stands not very handsomely, because they are forced to yéeld to the Cornicement of the Temple; yet according to Antiquity, it is a fault to be borne withall. The vppermost parts, which in no sort are tyed to any thing, shalbe as high as the thickenesse of the sayd Towers. The 5. part of that height shalbe for the Cornicement, and the rest, for the Columnes, made after the Ionica. Aboue the Cornice the leaning place shalbe made, with the round roofes, as you sée.

HEereunder followeth the Orthographie of the aforesayd Temple within, that is, the halfe of the 3. Temples. And for that the middlemost Temple should receiue more light then from the Lanthorne, as the other also doe by the windowes below, it is requisite to make the Cornice without higher then the innermost, that a man may, almost, receiue the light perpendicular-wise, as you may consider it in the Figure. From the Pauement, to the highest part of the Cornice, it shalbe 44. foot. The Cornice (because there are neyther Columnes nor Pillars about) a man may make bastard, and at his pleasure, so it haue not much bearing out, that it may not take away the sight of the roofe. The Cornice shalbe a foote and a halfe high, and may bee made according to the Capitall of Dorica. The height of all the Niches are all 15. foote: aboue the Niches, there shall a Facie goe round about the whole part of the Temple, as well the small Temples as the great. Aboue the Facie the halfe round roofes of the 4. Chappels shall stand. Aboue these 4. Chappels there shalbe a playne, made a little hanging, to cut off the water, with a place bresthigh round about, where, by the Stayres, a man may go through to the Towers: and if that this Temple standeth in any open place, then there will be a faire walke aboue it; you must be carefull that you let no snow lye vpon it, for it soketh in and hurteth the roofe. The Doores on the sides haue also 9. steps, although they stand not marked in the ground: and as these and the like houses stand so high, or not so high, from the earth, a man may well make them places of deuotion, or otherwise. We sée commonly, that round about the Churches all corners lye full, which is vnciuill for sanctified places: therefore I would thinke good, that it should be walled round about as high as the steps, that it might not be so ready for people to goe in, and that it were hallowed for a Church-yard. The Towers that should stand behind in this halfe, because they stand not vpon this Diameter, and also for lesse cumber, for that men may conceiue how they are placed: therefore they are not set downe in this Figure: and what there wanteth more, it is referred to the discretion of the workeman. who, in building thereof, shall find many accidents which a man cannot write nor remember all at once.

ALthough the aforesayd Temple is shewed to bee crosse-wise, neuerthelesse, this that is heere set downe is much liker: and first, I will speake of the first going in, which shall serue for all the rest, for that they are all of one forme. The widenesse is 30. foot, and the length 37. foot. The wall is seuen foot thicke: in the middle, on eyther side, there are two Niches, which shall each of them be tanne foot broad. The Doore is eyght foot wyde: the going through, to goe into the Circle, is 22. foot wyde. The Pilasters there, are seuen foot thicke: the Niches, foure foote. Within the Pilasters the stayres shall stand to goe vp, and that the Pilasters should bee the faster to beare the Tribune, in the foure corners, behind against the Pilasters, you shall make these eyght cornerd Chappels, of 18. foot in Diameter, and the wall is foure foot thicke. The Niches. Doores, Windowes and blind windowes, shall be fiue foot wide. The corners of the Temple without, haue their flat Pillars of thrée foot broad: the going vp is of fiue steps.

THe Orthographie without of the foure cornerd crosse Temple, is hereunder set downe, and is 44. foot broad at the going in; and the height from the ground to the Cornice is 30. foot: the Cornicement is fiue foot: the rest resteth for the Pillars, which should be Ianica. The second story is 22. foot high; which height shall bee deuided in sixe parts, one shalbe for the Cornicement, and the other fiue for the Cornthia Columnes. These two stories the Temple shall haue, whereof you shall haue the measure in the fourth Booke. The roofe shalbe 10. foot •igh but here in the Land where it bloweth, rayneth, and snoweth much, it may stand much higher. Aboue the vpper part of this Frontispicie or Roofe; there shall be a Cornice of two foot, whereon the Kettle or the round Roofe shall stand hauing a Lanthorne vpon it, which is 10. foot high without his couer. The part marked C. she•eth the couer or roofe within, and the other marked L. sheweth one of the 4. cornerd Chappels: and although these 5. steps, for a going vp stand onely to this Doore, they should also be made to the other two doores on the sides: and the ornament of the doores, you shall find in the aforesayd Booke, in the order of Ionica.

HAuing shewed this fouresquare crosse Temple without, now here followeth the part within, as if it were Diameter like, cut euen in 2. parts. And first, speaking of the middle whereon the Tribune standeth, there is from one of the Corners of the Pilasters, to the other, 30. foot. From the pauement below, to the highest part of the Cornice, it is also 30. foote. The height of this Fréese, Architraue, and Cornice, is 5. foote, and this shall goe round about the Temple within. Vpon this Cornice the Arches rest which beare vp the Tribune. Aboue the Arches there is a great Facie; and from thence vpwards it is 15. foote high. The Cornice shalbe 2. foote: but shall not beare much ouer or out, not is let the roofe. From this Cornice netherwards, to the Facie, there shalbe 8. drawing windowes made, of 7. foote, fouresquare, as you sée it in the Figure. The Lanthorne shalbe 5. foote wide. From the pauement, to the hole of the Lanthorne, it shalbe 77. foote high. The place where the high Altar standeth, is right ouer agaynst the principall going in. In the great fouresquare there may be an Altar Table set: and aboue it there shall bee a great round window; as also aboue all the 4. Doores. I néede not write any thing of the second side: for by the ground and this Figure you may easily conceaue it. And although I say nothing here of Towers, yet there may 2. at the least, bee set aboue the Chappels in the corners: also, as in many other places it is shewed, the workeman, vpon good occasion, may alter some things: for although that in Italy, and here in these Countryes (where the sunne shineth much) men desire small windowes for coldnesse: neuerthelesse, those that dwell Northward, where it is rumatike, and many times close weather, may, according to the situation, make the windowes great, and giue more light to the Temples, without breaking Order, as it is sayd in the fourth Booke of the Venetian houses.

AS I promised in my fourth Booke, so I haue shewed diuers fashions of Temples, viz. round, Quale, or Egge wise, fouresquare, fiue cornerd, sixe cornerd, eyght cornerd, and crosse-wise, not onely after the maner of the Ancients, but also seruing for Christians, in such formes as are at this day made in Italy, and elsewhere, whereby I thought I had sufficently performed my promise: but for that Temples or Churches are made here in these countries crosse-wise also, like Raphaels ground (of S. Peters Church in Rome) in my third Booke, therefore I will set two or thrée more of that forme here, therein following the maner of the Ancients. The greatest going through, or walke in the middle of the Church, is 30. foot wide: the thrée Chappels of halfe Circles, besides the 2. smallest walkes, are 25. foot wide, and shall stand somewhat without the wall. The Diameter of the Tribune is 36. foot: the foure small Tribunes, or round Roofes, are in Diameter 21. foot, but they shall not come out of the roofe. The crosse-worke hath a doore on eyther side, and the 3. halfe Circles are each of them 25. foot wide. The hindermost halfe Circle, where the high Altar standeth, is 31. foot wyde. Besides the Quier, there are two eyght-cornerd Vestries, being 21. foot in Diameter. Before, at the greatest going into the Temple, is the middlemost doore, 12. foote wyde, and the 2. small doores 6. foot. On the sides, the Towers are 27. foot wyde: within the stayres, there stands a wyde gate to draw vp the Bels. And although this Temple hath many steps or stayres, you may make lesse.

THis is the Orthographie of the ground aforesayd, whereof the first Cornice standeth 62. foot high: which height deuided in sixe parts, one part shalbe for Cornice, Fréese, and Architraue, and the rest shall bee for the flat Pillars, which shalbe fiue foot broad, and of Dorica worke. The middlemost doore is 24. foot high: the two smaller on the sides shalbe 12. foot high. The great and the small doores also shalbe beautified with some workes, as you sée in this Figure, taking the particular measures out of the Dorica order, in my fourth Booke. The eleuation or rysing vp in the middle, shall to the vpper part of the Cornice be 25. foot; and the Cornice thereof shall be the fourth part lesse then the other Cornice vnder it, made after the forme of the Dorica Chapter. The Frontispicie is fifteene foot high, aboue it stands the couer or the Kettle, with this Lanthorne vpon it, the measure whereof, a man may take out of that before. Below, vpon the first Cornice, besides the middlemost bearing vp, you shall make a Basement of fiue foot high; aboue that Basement, you must place the two Towers, which are 42. foot and an halfe high, making the Cornice the fourth part lesse then the other, formed after the Dorica Chapter. The third order shall be the fourth part lesse then the second, and the Cornice thereafter: the fourth order shall also be a fourth part lesse then the third, and the Cornice thereafter. The places brest-high, aboue these Cornices, shalbe foure foot high: and from the List, to the point of the Piramides, there are 36. foot. You may double the windowes out of my fourth Books.

THe Figure following sheweth the aforesayd Temple within, whereof the length and bredth is set downe in the ground: but here I will speake of the height. The Cornice shall stand high, & be as great as the vttermost, that is, the sixt part of 62. foot, but shalbe made after the Ionica maner. The flat Pillars shal also be Ionica: the Impost which beareth the Arches, shal also be Ionica; whose forme, touching the measures, you shal find them all together orderly in my fourth Booke: all the Chappels shall haue their light of themselues, as you sée. Aboue the Chappels, the Roofe shalbe broken like a Moone, therein to make an ouall round hole, that it may yéeld more light: and that the Tribune may haue more light then from the Lanthorne, you shall, from the couer vpwards, make a Fréese with a List, and therein also make round holes for light. This small closed figure, standing alone, aboue the Temple, sheweth one of the side doores of the Temple, in the crosse-worke, whereof the doore is 10. foot wyde, and 20. high. The Architraue, Freese and Cornice, vnder the couer or Roofe, although the Pillars are broken after another maner, with the List of the Portall, shall neuerthelesse agrée with the Cornicement that goeth round about the Temple. And although it is not here shewed how the wydest space of the walke betweene the Pilasters and the roofe is, and how that the smallest walke is not so high roofed, nor the forme of the small Kettles and Vestries are not shewed, yet the workeman may imagine it by the ground: for he that vndertaketh such a piece of worke, must not be vnskilfull.

THis Temple following is 30. foote wide in the middle. The crosse worke, and also the Tribune, together with the high Quier, shall each of them contayne 30. foot. The Arches which beare the Tribune, shalbe 24. foote wide. The Pillars on the sides, where the Niches stand, shalbe 5. foote broad. Each side of the Crosse worke is 38. foot long, and shall each of them haue a Doore. The part before the high Quier, towards the Altar, is 4. square. The Pilasters with the Niches, before the halfe Circle of the high Altar, are 5. foote broad, and stand from other 24. foot. The Niche or halfe Circle is 23. foote wide. In the 2. corners on the sides of the high Quier, there are 2. Vestries, which shalbe 17. foote wide in 4. square. From the Tribune to the principall going in, there shall stand 5. Chappels on eyther side, which shalbe 15. foote within 4. square. The walles betwéene both shall bee 4. foote thicke. The windowes shalbe 6. foote wide, and there Altars shall stand. The wall at the Doores shall bee 4. foote thicke, and on the sides where the Niches stand, 5. foot. Here before there shall come a Gallery of 14. foote broad, and of 68. foote long. The Niches shalbe 8. foote broad. On the sides of this Portall the Towers shall stand, and shall stand as broad out at the sides, as the crosse worke. The Diameter within the Towers is 18. foote: and although they be 8. square, they may also be made 4. square. The winding Stayres stand in the thickenesse of the wall.

Touching the raysing vpright of the sayd Temple, first I will speake of the Portall, which with the helpe of the fourth Booke, and through the ground, you may find the particular measure of this Order. The Portall aboue shalbe flat without roofe, to take no light away in the Temple. From the Pauement, to the top of the Cornice which goeth round about the Temple, it shalbe 47. foote high. The Architraue, Freese and Cornice, are 5. foote. The 2. Order contayneth 37. foote: and their Cornicements shall bee a fourth part lesse then the other: the same heights and Cornices shall also serue for the second Order of the Towers, and shalbe a fourth part lesse then the second Order; and the Cornice shall also lessen the fourth part: aboue there shall stand a small rising or eleuation, whereon the Kettle shall rest.

The Figure aboue the closed Temple, marked with A. sheweth the inner part of the 5. Chappels. The height from the pauement to the vpper part of the Cornice is 27. foote: the Cornice shalbe 4. foote thereof, made like a Capitall Dorica. The other vppermost Cornices shalbe as high as the outtermost; and betwéene this first and the second Cornices, there shall Ionica flat Pillars stand; betweene them the windowes shall bee made. The other figure aboue that aforesayd, marked B. sheweth the Tribune, the Quier and the sides of the crosse worke, with the open and the blynd Doores. Through the one side (which was purposely broken) you may sée the Vestryes within. The Cornice vnder the Arches, which beare the Kettle, is like the other Cornice which goeth round about the Temple. The Cornice which is aboue the Arch, and comes vnder the Kettle, shalbe bastard. The Lanthorne must bee made according to the other Lanthornes afore shewed. The other part marked C. is one of the Doores on the sides, and is in that maner couered round. The Doore is 9. foote wide, and 18. foote high.

ALthough that in the Netherlands there are very fayre Temples made, as the maner in these dayes is, not onely with three Iles or walkes in the body, but also fiue: my meaning is not to write of such great Temples, for that each Towne hath her chiefe Church: but these are onely to make such Churches in places, where, by chance, the Churches are decayed, because in these dayes, men could hardly make them vp againe in great forme; and to this end I set this last figure here, which is playner then the other. It shalbe 36. foot wyde, and 54. foot long. At each end before and behind, there shall stand halfe a Circle of 24. foot in Diameter. This halfe Circle where the high Altar standeth, hath two windowes, each 6. foot wyde. The doore to enter into the Temple, shalbe 8. foot wyde. In the crosse of the Temple there shall stand two Chappels, being 18. foot long, and 12. foot broad. The windowes behind the Altar shall be sixe foot wyde: all the great Niches are also stre foot wyde, and the small thrée foot. The Columnes are two foot thicke: the inter-Columnes in the middle, are 6. foot, and the other on the sides are 3. foot. The 4. Niches within the body, are beautified with round Columnes standing in the wall. Without the Temple there is a Portall of 10. foot broad, and 52. foot long. The high Pilasters shalbe 6. foot broad, as counterforts,; and the other shalbe thrée foot broad. Within the thickenesse of the wall there shall stand two payre of winding stayres: and although this Church hath no Towers, yet you may make them on it, as the other were.

THis Figure within is good to vnderstand, and from the Pauement to the first Cornice, it is 21. foot high, whereof the Cornicement is a fixt part: the other is for the Ionica Columnes. The Pedestall of the Niches shalbe the fift part, whereon there stand Columnes of Corinthia. The Frontispicies are three foot aboue the Cornice: the blind windowes aboue may also be opened. The walkes, with the place brest-high aboue the Portall, must bee made leaning forward for the water. The Chappels of the high Altar, marked A. haue small Niches of 7. foot and an halfe high. The fouresquare aboue the Altar, is for a table, broad 10. foot, and high 12. foot. The Temple without hath a Doricall Cornice, as high as the innermost. The part of the second order hath Pillers, and Cornices vpon them of two foot, which Cornices shal be made according to the Impost of the Theater of Marcellus, in the fourth Booke: and for that aboue on the fide, in the roose or couer, there is 3. foot of roome to space, there may be a leaning place made, both for an ornament, and also for ease: the couer may be couered ouer with Lead.

Here end•th the fift Booke: And this also is the end of the whole worke of Sebastian Se•li•; Translated out of Italian into Dutch, and out of Dutch into English, at the charges of Robert •eake.
