In the Laureat draughts of sculpture and picture, the leaves and foliate works are commonly thus contrived, which is but in imitation of the _Pulvinaria_, and ancient pillow-work, observable in _Ionick_ peeces, about columns, temples and altars. To omit many other analogies, in Architectonicall draughts, which art itself is founded upon fives,[127] having its subject, and most gracefull peeces divided by this number. [127] _Of a structure five parts_, Fundamentum, parietes, Aperturæ, Compartitio tectum, _Leo. Alberti. Five Columes_, Tuscan, Dorick, Ionick, Corinthian, Compound. _Five different intercolumniations_, Pycnostylos, dystylos, Systylos, Areostylos, Eustylos. _Vitru._ The Triumphal Oval, and Civicall Crowns of Laurel, Oake, and Myrtle, when fully made, were pleated after this order. And to omit the Crossed Crowns of Christian Princes; what figure that was which _Anastatius_ described upon the head of _Leo_ the third; or who first brought in the Arched Crown; That of Charles the great, (which seems the first remarkably closed Crown), was framed after this manner;[128] with an intersection in the middle from the main crossing barres, and the interspaces, unto the frontal circle, continued by handsome network-plates, much after this order. Whereon we shall not insist, because from greater Antiquity, and practice of consecration, we meet with the radiated, and starry Crown, upon the head of _Augustus_, and many succeeding Emperors. Since the Armenians and Parthians had a peculiar royall Capp; And the Grecians from _Alexander_ another kinde of diadem. And even Diadems themselves were but fasciations, and handsome ligatures, about the heads of Princes; nor wholly omitted in the mitrall Crown, which common picture seems to set too upright and forward upon the head of _Aaron_: Worne[129] sometimes singly, or doubly by Princes, according to their Kingdomes; and no more to be expected from two Crowns at once, upon the head of _Ptolomy_. And so easily made out when historians tell us, some bound up wounds, some hanged themselves with diadems. [128] Uti constat ex pergamena apud Chifflet; in _B. R._ Bruxelli, et Icon. _f._ Stradæ.

The beds of the antients were corded somewhat after this fashion: That is not directly, as ours at present, but obliquely, from side to side, and after the manner of network; whereby they strengthened the spondæ or bedsides, and spent less cord in the work: as is demonstrated by _Blancanus_.[130] [130] Aristot.
