rs_ before the Face of the _Temple_, at whose Corners there were 2 _Antes_, and the 2 _Pillars_ supported a _Piedement_ or _Fronton_. The Second Sort had likewise but 2 _Pillars_, but they were between 2 _Antes_ upon the same Line with the _Antes_; and these _Antes_ with the 2 _Pillars_, made up the _Face_ of the _Porch_ of the _Temple_. The Third Sort was, when betwixt 2 _Pillars_ which were at the _Face_ before, which made up the _Porch_, there were likewise 2 others within the _Porch_; these _Pillars_ within, were not so thick as those without, although they were of an equal height; but to the end they might seem as thick as those without, they made more _Channellings_, for the most part 28 or 32, supposing those without had 24; this was done to get more room within the _Porch_. These _Temples_ had also this particular to themselves, that the Front of the _Porch_ was closed with Partitions of _Marble_ or _Joyner's-Work_, which ran from the _Ante_ of one of the Corners to its neighbouring _Pillar_, and from this _Ante_ to the other _Pillar_, and from this _Pillar_ to the other _Ante_. The second Sort of _Temples_, with _Pillars_, was called _Prostyle_; which differ'd not from the first, but in this, that besides the 2 _Pillars_ of the _Temple_, _Ad Antes_, there were two others directly on the Angular _Antes_. The Third Sort was called _Amphiprostyle_; because it had _Pillars_ as well behind as before. The Fourth Sort was the _Periptere_, which in the Front, as well as behind, had 6 _Pillars_, and 12 on every side, counting those of the Corners: the distance which was between the _Pillars_ and the _Walls_, was equal to that which was between the _Pillars_. The Fifth, the _Pseud-diptere_, viz. _False Diptere_, it had 8 _Pillars_ in the _Front_, and as many behind, and 15 on every side, counting those of the Corners: the _Pillars_ were distant from the Wall, the space of 2 Intercolumniations, and the thickness of a _Pillar_. The Sixth Sort was the _Diptere_, which had 8 _Pillars_ before and behind, and 2 rows round about. The Seventh Sort was called _Hypethre_, because the inner part of the _Temple_ was uncovered, it had 10 _Pillars_ before and behind; and as to the rest, it was like the _Diptere_, but in this particular to it self, that all about it had two Orders of _Pillars_, at a little distance from the Wall, to make _Portico's_, as in the _Peristyles_. The Eighth was called _Pseudo-Periptere_, o
