o 12 parts; three must be allowed to the first
_Face_, four to the second, and five to that above, upon which is the
_Cymatium_.

The _Frise_ ought not to be so high as the _Architrave_ by a 4th. part,
unless something be carved there, for then that the Carving may be more
graceful, the _Frise_ ought to be bigger than the _Architrave_ by a 4th.
part.

Upon the _Frise_ must be made a _Cymatium_ of height the 7th. part of
the _Frise_, with a Jetting equal to its height.

The _Dentil_ which is upon the _Cymatium_, shall have the height of the
_Face_ of the middle of the _Architrave_, with a Jetting or Projecture
equal to its height; the cutting of the _Dentils_ ought to be so made,
that the breadth of every _Dentil_ may be the half of its height, and
the Cavity of the cut which is between every _Dentil_ may have two parts
of three, which maketh the breadth of the _Dentil_.

The _Cymatium_ which is upon the _Dentil_, must have the 3d. part of the
height of the _Dentil_.

The Crown with its little _Cymatium_ must have the same height with the
_Face_ of the middle of the _Architrave_.

The great _Cymatium_ ought to have the height of an 8th. part more than
the _Crown_ or _Drip_.

The Jetting or Projecture of the whole _Cornice_ comprehending the
_Dentil_ ought to be equal to the space that there is from the _Frise_,
just to the top of the great _Cymatium_, and generally speaking all the
Jettings or Projectures shall have the better grace when they are equal
to the height of the Jetting Members. See Table VII.

ART. VIII.

_Of the_ Corinthian _Order_.

[Sidenote: _Lib. 4. Chap. 2._]

The Pillars of the _Corinthian Order_ have no other Proportions than the
_Ionick_, except in the _Capital_, whose height make them appear
slenderer and higher. The other parts or Members, as the _Architrave_,
_Frise_, and _Cornice_, borrow their Proportions from the _Dorick_ and
_Ionick Order_, having nothing particular, for the _Corinthian
Modillons_ are imitated by the _Mutils_ of the _Dorick Order_, and the
_Dentils_ are the same with the _Ionick_; this being so, we have nothing
to do but to give the Proportions of the _Capital_, which are these; The
_Capital_ comprizing the _Abacus_, hath for its height, the breadth of
the bottom of the Pillar.

To have the true breadth of the _Abacus_, we must have a care that its
_Diagonal_ be double the height of the _Capital_, the bending that the
sides of the _Abacus_ have inward, is a 9
