equal to the excess of the projecture of the plinths, under
the 2 larger columns, compared with the plinths, under
the reduced columns: by excluding the in.5.83, therefore,
the three interplinths will be equal, And let not this
caution be deemed immaterial.}
To proceed now to the cell; the seven columns on
each side as ordained above, are to be in diameter ft.2

systyle, i e ft.5, except the grand intercolumn at the
front entrance into the cell, which is to be equal to 2
intercolumns and 1 diameter (on account of the supressed
column) m ft.lQin.6. And the distance between the
shafts of the columns and the walls, on the sides ft.12,

this disposition and symmetry of 7 columns on the side,
and (reckoning the angulars over again) 5 in the postern
end and 4 in the front end, will be found to require a
length of cell equal to ft.72. in.3.7 in the clear ; and a
width as before established, of ft.57, in.|. The thick-
ness of the front and postern walls of the cell, in which

the cell approaches near to that established by Vitruvius,
who ordered for the length, including one door wall, to
have the breadth of the cell with the addition of a quarter
of the said breadth=ft.71, in.3.7, the wall ft.4 subtracted,
leaves ft.67, in.3.7, which taken from ft.72, in.3.7 leaves
ft.5, and this I added to the length ordained by Vitru»

walks all round the cell nearly equal; certainly a better
disposition
