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 9th. part of a side, the bottom of the _Capital_ is equal to the Neck of the Pillar. The thickness of the _Abacus_ is a 7th. part of the whole _Capital_. Two of these seven parts must be taken for the height of every Leaf, of which there are two Ranks, each of which has four Leaves. The Stalks or little Branches are likewise composed of other Leaves, and which grow between the Leaves of the Rank above, ought to have two of these seven parts comprising the _Volutes_. These _Volutes_ begin within the Stalks, of which, those that are the greatest extend to the Extreme parts of the _Angles_ of the _Abacus_; the other are below the _Roses_. These _Roses_ which are in the middle of every _Face_ of the _Abacus_, ought to be as great as the _Abacus_ is thick. The _Ornaments_ of the _Corinthian Order_, viz. The _Architrave_, the _Frise_, and the _Cornice_, do not in the least differ from those of the _Ionick Order_. See Tab. IX. ART. IX. _Of the_ Compound _Order._ [Sidenote: _Lib._ 4. _Chap._ 1.]
