The height of the _Capital_ as well as the _Base_ is one _Module_, the breadth is two _Modules_ and an half, the height of the _Capital_ being divided into three parts, one must be allowed for the _Plinthus_ or _Abacus_, with its _Cymatium_; the other is for the _Echine_, with its _Anulets_; the third appertains to the _Gorge_ of the _Capital_. _The Architrave_ which comprehends its _Platte-Band_ with the _Gouttes_ or _Pendant Drops_, which are under the _Triglyphs_, is as well as the _Capital_ of one only _Module_; the _Gouttes_ or _Drops_ with their little _Tringle_, ought to have the 6th part of a _Module_, the breadth under the _Architrave_ ought to be equal to that above the Pillar. Upon the _Architrave_ in the _Friese_ ought to be the _Triglyphs_ and the _Metops_. The _Triglyphs_ have a _Module_ and a half for their height, and a _Module_ for their breadth; the _Metops_ are as high as broad; One _Triglyph_ must be placed directly upon every Pillar, and the Intercolumniation ought to have three; towards the Corners must be placed the _Demi-Metops_. The breadth of the _Triglyph_ being divided into six parts, five of them must be left in the middle, and the two halfs which remain on the right and the left, must be for _Demi-Graveurs_; The part in the middle, and the two last of the five, must be for the three Feet, and the two which are betwixt the three Feet, must be for the _Graveurs_ or _Channels_, which must be hollowed, following the Corner of the _Mason_'s Rule. The _Capital_ of the _Triglyph_ ought to have the 6th. part of a _Module_. Upon the _Capital_ of the _Triglyph_ is placed the great _Cornice_, its Jetting or Projecture, is half a _Module_ and the 6th. part of a _Module_, its height is half a _Module_, comprising the _Dorick Cymatium_, which is under it. On the _Plat Fonds_ of the _Cornice_, must be hollowed little strait ways, which must answer perpendicularly to the sides of the _Triglyphs_, and the middle of the _Metops_. Streight upon the _Triglyphs_ must be cut 9 _Goutes_ or _Drops_, which must be so distributed, that there may be six length-wise, and three broad-wise; in the Spaces which are betwixt the _Metops_, because they are greater than those between the _Triglyphs_: nothing must be cut unless it be _Foudres_. Moreover towards the border of the Crown must be Carved a _Scotia_. Some advance perpendicularly above the _Triglyphs_, the Ends of the _Forces_ or _Principals_ to frame the _Mutils_ which support the _Cornices_; so that as the Disposition of _Beams_ hath caused the Invention of _Triglyphs_, so the jetting of the _Forces_ hath caused the Disposition of the _Mutils_, which support the _Cornices_.
