 BRIEF DISCOURSE 
 
 Of all that which ought to be obfervedin the Framing 
 of every F> VlLVIFfG. 
 
 N the framing of every Building we muft have regard to the durablenefs thereof, to 
 
 the pleafantnefs and conveniency.to thecomly proportion,and to the healthfulncfs 
 
 of each room therein. 
 
 The durablenefs of it confifteth in the working ofit with fubftantial fluff; but 
 
 becaufe that this is different according to the diverfity of places, there can be no 
 
 particular Rules given thereof. This mull be referred to the diferetion and judg¬ 
 ment of him that buildeth, the which fhall direct himfelf by the knowledge that he 
 . , hath gotten by experience of the goodnefs of the faid Materials. 
 
 To give a due thicknefs to the Walls, agreeable to the height, and the weight which'onc would have 
 them to bear Now forafmuch as that dependeth partly on the goodnefs of the laid Materials, the know¬ 
 ledge whereof cannot be got but upon the faid places, wc have alfo referred this point to the diferetion 
 
 of theMafter-builder: having for this purpofc taken within the Work all the Longitudes and Latitudes 
 of our Defines And neverthelefs the thicknefs which wc have therein ufed, may be obferved and fol¬ 
 lowed with all thfery in the Buildings, which (hall be made at faw, and there round about: m the which 
 fas altogether elfcwherc) it will be good to obferve, that whenas the thicknefs of common buildings 
 fhall be determined, as concerning that which is to be under the ground, one muft reduce the whole in¬ 
 to two thirds, as for that which fhall be above the ground ; and this by the means of two Divihons on the 
 
 D To caufe that the burthens above may be placed upon parts able to bear them up, andbecaufe that the 
 Planchers, and all that one placeth above, are born up by the beams ; one muft take good heed that he 
 place not the faid Beams upon empty places, as upon Windows or Gates. In brief, one muflTake care 
 that empty things be placed upon the empty, as the folid upon the fohd. He muft alfo take heed, that 
 he caufe not the Beams to pafs through the Chimnics, by reafon of the inconvenience that may happen 
 thereby. And he muft likewife take heed that the length of the. Beams be not exceffive, having regard 
 to their thicknefs; upon which, and upon the goodnefs of the wood, dependeth the whole ftrength 
 
 To give to the Joyfts a fitting length, according to the proportion of their thicknefs; for the longer 
 
 they are, the more weak they are in their middle part. And for this caufe it is good that the Beams (the 
 which do ferve as a Rule for rhe length of the Joyftsjbe feparated from between nine to twelve feet afun- 
 and rhrinp el»:xc^i* , a ..J thou L, need that they bear within the thicknefs of the 
 
 W Ubctween fifteen and eighteen inches on each fide, and more if it may be done. And to the end that 
 thePlanchers may have the ftrength requifite, the Joyfts fhall be divided in fuch a manner,as there fhall 
 be^s much full as empty, for this alfo will ferve for ornament. 
 
 J.s concerning the plenfnntnefs and conmeniency , it muft be eb/erned 
 
 That the Appartments or divers Rooms be placed the one next to the other, according to the necefflty 
 or ufe which they have the one of the other, and yet not encumbred one with the other,or as little as may 
 
 tC Tftatthe principal Rooms, as the Halls and chiefeft Chambers, be accompanied with a W ardrobe,and 
 
 alfo with a Ciofet, if it may be. r , 
 
 That the Rooms of the fame ftory be placed even with each other, as far as may be poflible. 
 
 That every Room be of a largenefs convenient for the fervice for which you have intended it. And to 
 effetft this, it will be convenient, in places where you are not otherwife compelled, to obferve the Mea- 
 
 fures following. „ , r nr 
 
 The Hall fhall have from twenty two to twenty four feet of bredth,for which caufe we may allow from 
 thirty four to thirty fix feet of length. But in great buildings it will be convenient to allow for the 
 length twice thcbredth.And when there fhall be made Neceffary rooms or Cellars under ground, ,twill 
 be convenient to allow them about eight, nine,or ten feet under the Joyfts, or from nine to ten feet under 
 the Crown of the Arch of theVaults in depth. 
 
 The height of the firft ftory, upon the lengths and bredths aforementioned for the Halls, may be from 
 thirteen to fourteen feet, and you fhall augment it according to the fame proportion, when you fhall 
 allow more for the length and bredth of the Hall. 
 
 For the height of the fecond ftory, it will be convenient to allow to it from twelve to thirteen feet un¬ 
 der the Joyfts. 
 
 To the third ftory from eleven to twelve feet. 
 
 And ifone would make Chambers in the Garrets, whether it be in the third or fourth ftory,it will fur- 
 fice to allow them eight or nine feet of height. • 
 
 For the Chambers,they fhall have twenty two or twenty four feet: and it is always ncceflary fen at they*

The fair Ordering or Comclincfs confifieth in the Symmetry or equal Proportion, which niull he 
 taken according to the breadth or height. 
 
 Accerding to the largcnefs it is fit that the parts equally drftant from the middle be equal between 
 thcmfclvcs. 
 
 That the parts be proportionable to the whole, and amongft themfclves. 
 
 According to the height, it is fit that the parts, in which a Symmetry fhall bcobferved in refpedl of 
 their breadth or largenefs, may be alfo of the fame Perpendicular in their height. For it may happen, 
 that one part of equal proportion in bredth, may not be alfo in height: For example, the half-crodts or 
 meetings of Pillars, the which you may place in an equal dilfancefrom the middle of the Building; ne- 
 vcrthelefs the Frontlets which lhall be put upon them, fhall not reach to the height of thofe of the 
 whole erodes: fo alfo that which fhall be equally proportioned in bredth, fnall not be alfo in height, 
 therefore fuch works are to be avoided. ° 
 
 Concerning the Healtbfulnefs of the feveralparts of the Building 
 
 You fhall providefor the fame, by caufingthe Halls and Rooms of the firft dory to be made higher 
 then the furface of the ground they ftand on about two feet or more,according to the moiltnefs of the 
 piece in which you fhall build: for in doing this you may provide not onely for the hcalthfulnefs.but alfo 
 for the fair profpedl; by this means rendering your building more datcly and better enlightened. For 
 making the Cellars or Neaedary rooms under'ground,it will be convenient that the half of theit height 
 be within the ground, and the other half above. 
 
 You fee here that which we have thought necedary to difeourfe concerning theGeneral Rules, the 
 which if they be not entirely obferved in the firft Defigns of our Buildings, you muff not think it 
 ftrange, forafmuch as the fmalnefs of fpace in breadth hath conftrained us to go out of our own Rules. 
 For the particular Confiderations, they fhall be obferved in the Defigns and Difeourfe that we fhali 
 make upon each place : upon which we fhall give you advice once for all, that whatfoever is placed on 
 the right hand may be fet on the left, without changing any dimenfion, according as the largenefs of 
 the Afpcdh, or fome better Light, or the goodnefs of fume Neighbouring wall, or fome other important 
 confideration, /hall invite you to chufe rather the one then the other.

 lie offiteafures which are ufed m meafuring all things are either Lineary, or Superficial, or Sri,i 
 and Majsive. y 
 
 7he tineary ofMeafures are thofe which have hut one onely dimenfion, in the which there U only 
 confidered the length, without any breadth or thicknefs: * when we make mention of the length 
 onely of a Ha'or Chamber, or ofitc breadth onely, or elfe of its heigtb alone, without any re/peS to 
 ,ts other dimenfions ■ or elfe, or when we fay, that from fuch a Village to another it two leaguer, wefpeak onely of 
 the length between them. ° JC 7 J 
 
 Of theft Lineary ojilcafurcs the mefi common it the Line ary EH, Fathom, or Perch, which ir divided into 
 fix feet Royal, or by the Standard, which « alfo a Lmeary nfMeafure. The length both of the one and of the other 
 u expreffed in the Chaftelet of Pans, and we have reprefented in the margin the meafure of one foot, whereby 
 every one may know of what meafure it u that we havefpoken in our Defigns, and that qe may reduce the others to 
 the fame, according at he J,hall think fit. 
 
 The hoot is divided into twelve Inches, and the Inch into twelve parts or lines, which is the lead Meafure that 
 ts ujed in jirchitecture. J J 
 
 TheSuperficial fifileafures are thofe which have two dimenfions, Length and Breadth : as when we fay,that a 
 Chamber centamctbfixteenfathoms fquare, we underftand thereby that it hath four lineary fathoms in one fenfe 
 and as many,a another-, feeing that ifyou multiply the length and breadth the one by the other, you have it’s 
 Superficies - in fuch manner as when one lmeary fathom contain:,hfixfeet, the Superficial fathom (halt contain 
 fix times fix feet, which will be thirty fix feet Superficial. In like manner an Jrpent or Acre of ground con- 
 tarns ten times ten Perches, which are an hundred Perches Superficial. 
 
 The Solid oy MaJJive Meafures are thofe which have three dimenfions, Length,Breadth, Thicknefs,or Depth-

 The Divifion of the firjl T/ace , haying of ‘Bredtb twelve Feet, and of 
 
 Depth, from twenty one feet and an half, to any other which Jhall he 
 
 N this firft Ground-plot of twelve feet ofbreadth, upon twenty one feet and an 
 halt of depth,thc bredch of the Hall is of nine feet,and the paffage of three feet; 
 the depth is divided into an Hall or room of fourteen feet, and into a Court of 
 five feet and an half of bredth : and the reft of the bredth overall tills cfepth is 
 imployed in a Stair-cafe, which (hall have fix feet in the fejuare,where under the 
 
 fpreading of the flairs the Privy (hall be made. Atone of the corners of the Court, near unto 
 the Hall, is the Well : for the going down into the Cellar, it (hall be made in the paffage 
 by means of a Trap, door, as well in this Figure as in citofc chat follow,unto the fixth divifion 
 of the fixth plot. 
 
 As concerning the fecond ftory, the Chamber (hall take up the breadth as Well of the hall 
 as ofthepafi'age; and therefore it (hall have twelve eet . bredch, and for the depth it is 
 to be regulated by that of the hall below, which is fourteen feet. The reft of this plane or 
 fecond ftory differeth not from the firft. 
 
 And when upon this fame bredth of building the depth (hould be found between twenty 
 one feet and an half and twenty five, the mcafures of the I.irgenefs remaining in their Entire, 
 you muft divide the overplus of the depth in the court and in the hail, according to the defire 
 of the Mafter of the works 
 
 And we have thought lit to declare all the meafures of the buildings, upon the particular 
 difcourle which we have made of the framing of each of them : although that we have mark¬ 
 ed the n out by Figures upon the planes or ground-plot, for the more perfedt inftrudlion of 
 
 them which are Ids cxerciled in the knowledge of the planes or ground plots* 
 
 And as concerning the heights, the firft ftory (hall have nine feet under the Joyft, from 
 the floor of the hall; and the thieknels of the Plancher ("the Joyft being contained)lhall have 
 eight inches, which will be more then fufficient upon fo frnall a bredch ; whereof the whole 
 height will be of nine feet eight inches: the which being divided into eighteen fteps, there 
 will be fix inches, i ive parts of an inch, and two thirds, for the height of each of them. The 
 which divifion (ball be oblerved alfo for the fecond ftory, the which is nine foot high as the 
 firft. The third ftory hath eight feet of height under the Joyft, and eight inches of thicknefs 
 the Joyft and Plancher therein contained. This height of eight feet eight inches, being divi¬ 
 ded into fixteen fteps, we (hall allow fix inches and an halfofbeight for each of them which 
 arc two thirds of a part more then the other fteps, and therefore their difference will not 
 bedifeerned. 
 
 The Garrets (ball be above. 
 
 And becaufe the coming forth neceffary for the Stair-cafe is hindered by the height which 
 muft be given to the Privy, they (ball go down from the Court to the Privy by two fteps 
 whereof one (ball be within the Court, and the other within the Privy, having each of the» 
 
 nineinchcs ofheight. 
 

<j"be <£)ivifion of the fecond Tlace, having the fame breadth of twelveject upon 
 twenty fve of depth ; the which frail ferve hkewife unto fifteen feet of bredth, 
 and thirty fine and an half of depth , the whole inchfmly. 
 
 ?Vcnas the whole breadth is in nothing different from that of the forevgo- 
 f ing Figure, fo there fhall not be any difference in the parts. Therefore 
 l< * t he Hall fliall have nine feet in breadth, and the I’affage three; and fo for 
 the ftory above,the Chamber fliall have the while breadth ol twelve leer. 
 But the dividing the depth may be done in two manners ; the one as the 
 fore-going, without a Clofct, allowing the remainder of the depth which 
 this Figure hath more then the former, to the Hall, or to the Court,or elfe 
 partly to the one and partly to the otl er. Ti e lecond manner is in making a Clofet at the 
 end of the Hall, and of the fame breadth of nine feet npon threeand an half deep, which is 
 the leaft that you can allow to the Clofct; and this fame depth of three feet at d an half is alio 
 the greateft that you can allow to the Clolet in this prefent depth .- For ifyotnnake it deepj 
 er,) on fliall not have room enough for the fituatton ol the bed ; at d in this manner there will 
 remain fourteen feet deep as well for the Hall as the Chamber,^ 
 
 And it muff be obferved, that from this breadth unto that of nineteen feet, the Clofet 
 cannot be made otherwife ;but coming to twenty, one may change it, a, (lull be (hewed 
 hereafter 
 
 And where the breadth of the place fliall be greater then twelve feet,and lefs then fifteen, 
 the remainder fhall be allowed to the breadth ol the Hall and the Chamber, leaving always 
 the Palfage of three feet. 
 
 And as concerning the depth, from twenty five feet unto thirty five and an ha.f, there- 
 mainder thereof fhall be added to the Hall, the Clofet, an 1 Court, at the dilcretion of the 
 
 Builder. 
 
 The heights fliall be nine feet under the Joyfts, for tl e fitft and Ucond (fortes, and eight 
 for tiie third, as in the foregoing Figure: and accordingly the lame height of flcps (hail be fol¬ 
 lowed in the prefent work. _ . 
 
 The Precaution as concerning the coming out of the Stairs above the Pi ivy (lull be kept, 
 
 a S m the nreceJcnt f IgUl'C, . 
 
 The fir ft Divifion of the third Place, from fifteen feet of breadth unto eighteen and an half , and of depth 
 from thirty five feet and an half unto fortj eight and an half. 
 may be made in three different manners, to each ol which we have appropriated its Defign. 
 The firftkeepeth the divifion in the breadth of the former, in the Hall of twelve feet, and the 
 Paffage of three; but the depth addeth to the foregoing a Kitchen below, and a Wardrobe 
 above inftead of a Clofet. The Stair-cafe keepeth its firft fituation and breadth, but notits 
 fiftfhape- For its depth, containing the Stairs, is augmented thereby unto ten feet, which is that of 
 
 th- Court. and the Steps Hand for Wards on the Front to them that enter in ; which could not be done 
 in the former Defigns. The Kitchen therefore fhall have nine feet in depth, the Hall fifteen, and the 
 Court ten, as hath been faid : and in this Divifion one may change the places of the Hail and the Kitchen 
 very eafilv, there being no queftion of tranfiating the Inclofure, referving to each ol them its own depth. 
 The which alfo may be underfiood of the ftory above, as one will; forafmuch a, they may leave it in its 
 
 own Ihapc, with changing that beneath. . 
 
 Further, we would reprefent the (hape of the Fore-part of the Building Bias wile or [loping, bccaufc 
 that this happened! commonly in the Situations ofthe Platforms of T owns, to fliew thereby, that al¬ 
 though that one of the Fronts or Faces be Bias, yet we need not ceafe to make the Rooms or Appart. 
 ments with right angles. The which let it be once faid for all. , 
 
 The height ofthe fitft and fccond ftory (hall have ten feet under the Joyfts, which fhall be ten feet 
 eight inche”, containing the thicknefs of the Plancher, in which height the drvifion m the Stair-cafe may 
 be made two ways. The firfr, following the Defign, according to which they afeend by nineteen fteps; 
 
 and therefore every ftep fliall have fix inches and nine parts of height. The lecond way may be ufed by 
 
 allowing eieht fteps to the turning of the Stairs infecad of ten, to make it more ealie ; and continuing 
 the Stairs, by turning them evenover againft the Chamber, which will raife it tout fteps,and fo we fhall 
 have in all twenty one fteps : by the which the whole height of ten feet eight inches being divided,we fhall 
 have for the height of each ftep fix inches and one part, accord in g to this fecond manner. 
 
 The third fco”y hath nine feet in height under the Joyfts,which fhall be containing the thicknefs ofthe 
 Plancher nine feet eight inches, which being divided by nineteen fteps, will allow us fix inches and one 
 part for the height of each.

 He fecond manner of Divifion of the Ground-plot above mentioned keepeth 
 that of the precedent in the breadth, which is divided in the Hall of twelve

 Uoty that 11 under, and in changing the place of the Chamber and Wardrobe 
 
 in that above. The Hal! fllail have fifteen feet in depth,the Kitchen nine, upon

 ^Aving hitherto difeourfed of the Order, Meafure, and Framing of Building

 " ing ; itremaineth for us to fpeak of the Coverings or Roofs, which go, 
 fultain them. Now thefe Coverings muft be either of Tiling or Slate; whit 
 . the mod common and ufual Materials. The Tiling, that it may be convcnj 
 upheld, hath no need that the Triangle of its Root'have an equal elevation 
 that of the Slate ; but it is fufficient that when its Balls (that is to fay, the bre' 
 of the whole Building'* fhall contain eight parrs, the two (ides, which meet at 
 top, may havefeven apiece. The Roofs, which arc made for Slate,muft havem. 
 elevation, both in refpedt of the wind, which would carry away the faid Slate, as for the return of the \. 
 ter, which rots it. Some are content with the Equilateral Triangle for the fnape oi the Roof for fl.i. 
 Others having the wood at Command do raife it yet more, towit, in fuch manner, that when the Bai 
 which is always the bredth of the bulk of the Building containcth eight parts, the two lides which m 
 at the Topconnir y o„ makeyour Covering pf Tyle or Slate, you 
 
 may uf:indifferently the following falhions, there being no difle™.. u.„~.rk. o„ o *nd the orher, 
 but that which the framing of the Triangles of their Roofs doth caufe, and fuch Coverings, as well of 
 Tyles, as of Slate, are made either with railing of the Boarding above the laft Plancher, or without the 
 Railing : if it be with railing up, fuch work may be made yet in two manners, that is to fay, between 
 two fmall Pinacles, orwithaTop. and each of thefe is varied ftill in two forts, the firft with the kneel¬ 
 ing Rafters, the fecond with the Platform. According to the firft manner the kneeling Ratters are ph- 
 ced upon the bearings of the Beams, which are the ends of them which bear upon the body oi the walls ; 
 and it fufficeth that there be between four and five inches from the end of the beam unto the outfide of 
 the wall, and the faid kneeling Rafters meet within the beams with Tenons and Mortaifes. And it muft 
 b... obferved, that the faid kneeling Rafters muft be kept as (freight as can be made, to the end that the in- 
 fiJe of that place be not hurt thereby, having alfo regard that we keep them not fo (freight that they may 
 hinder the Covering. The kneeling Rafters do uphold the Choler-beams,to which thefe arejoyned like- 
 wife with Tenons and Mortaifes, and boundabove alfo with Struts meeting together with Tenons and 
 Mortaifes, in fuch manner as for two parts taken within the Cholcr there be three taken in the kneeling 
 Rafters ; and upon this beam may be alfo made a later Plancher. Above this beam, and at the ends of 
 it do meet alfo two kneeling Rafters by Tenons and Mortaifes, as well within the Choler, as within the 
 top of the King-poft, of which the bottom bcareth (freight upon the middell of the Choler. This King- 
 poll (hall be fet out with EmbolTcS both above and below, and at the ends of the Counter-fixt pieces and 
 bands Thefe kneeling Rafters are alfo bound to the King poll with little Struts, bearing right upon 
 if and they meet as well with the Choler as with the kneeling rafters with Tenons and Mortaifes. And 
 within the King-poft and the kneeling Rafters are alfo the Counter-fixt pieces meeting by Tenons 
 and Mortaifes : and the Counter-fixt pieces are joyned to the kneeling Rafters juft even with the Gut¬ 
 ter-pieces, which Gutter-pieces are upheld with pieces pinned fall with pins of wood ; and thofe pieces 
 are al fo fuftained by Brackets, indented about an inch, or three fonrrhs of an inch below within the bo- 
 dyofthe kneeling Rafters, coming to decay to nothing above or under the knob. And there (hall be 
 placed two other Gutter-pieces upon the heads of the faid Chollers, and at the ends ot the laid kneeling 
 Rafters, and upon the faid Gutter-pieces, as wellabove as below the rafters (hall be placed, which (hall 
 meet theonewith the other, with Tenons and Mortaifes above, and be indented within the outward ridge 
 of the faid top-piece within an inch, and (hall be placed below upon the Boarding, within an inch or an 
 inch and an half inward upon the thicknefs of the wall, to take without, except the Projector. > And the 
 ft id rafters {hall be pierced, or otherwife fattened and pinned with pins of wood, over-thwart the bodies 
 of the faid Gutter-pieces; and upon the feet of the faid rafters fhall he fet fmall Spars nailed upon the 
 (aid rafters , "and where the bottom (hall bear untotheedges of the Projeifture of the Boarding,to the end 
 to calf back the water behind the walls. All that rs above is for the defeription and ordering of the for¬ 
 mers. There remaineth to difeourfe of the upper pieces, which areirom quarter to quarter =, for the 
 framing of which the top doth meet within the end above of the King pod. 
 
 The fecond manner, which is made with the Elevation and Plat-form, is framed thus: upon the two 
 ends of the walls are placed two Summers, in fuch manner that not any part of them bear amifs. They 
 fhallbe joyned the one to the other by Mortis and Tenant upon their whole length, With a fpace between 
 them from fix to fix feet. Uoon thefe Summrrs are Planks with blocks or pieces Co hold fall, and a tail

 eflronfaftned within them, about an inch or an inch and an half, fo that the upper part of the faid rai¬ 
 ling-peece come even: and above the ends of the raifing-gieces (hall be placed the chief rafters,and meet 
 together by Tenons andMortaifes within the faid raifing-peeces, and above within the Body oi the King 
 Pelt: and upon the ends of the railing-peeces within, (hall be born fmall legs or peers, meeting with 
 Tenons and Mortaifes, and at the height that you would allow to the ftory in the Garrets (hall be drawn 
 a Beam, from one rafter to another, meeting with Tenons and Mortaifes, and bound below by Struts, 
 having fpace between, even ns we have faid of the Braces, and above the fmall legs or peers, and 
 in the midft of the Beam (hall be the King Poft placed, whereof we have fpoten hcrctoiore.with Te¬ 
 nons and Mortaifes, and pins oflron under the Beam, if need be, and about themidft of the faid long 
 pP-cc, (hall meet another fmall Beam of two pieces by Tenons and Mortaifes, joyned and upheld by 
 Struts as the foregoing. That which above is the de'eription of the chief rafter. Now the fmall rai- 
 ters which are between the chief rafters, are called the tilling up Formes, and have fpace between them 
 from two to two feet, from midft to midft, and are fet out with equal parts to the chief rafters, and like- 
 wife placed bolides the King-Poft, and that the Beams nor the rafters are not fo thick. That which is 
 faid above in refpedt of the rafters or fidcs, as well the chief, as the fillers up. It remaineth to fpeak 
 of the Top pieces, which are framed by Tops meeting together above within the heads ofthe King-Poft, 
 and two Mortaifes and tenant, the one below, the other above, carried upon the even Beams, and meet¬ 
 ing by the two ends, within the bodies of the faid King-Poft. And within the Top being between two 
 K?ng-pofts, do meet together above two Bands, cut into two, the which below do meet with Tenons and 
 Mortailcs, as well at the Mortis and tenant, as at the body of the faid King-polt, and as concerning the 
 ; idges, there (hall be made an half ferm.or fide-poft within the midft,in like manner as unto the loregoing 
 chief rafters, except that it (hall be a little more ftifle or ftrong, and of the one fide and the other ot 
 the faid half fame, there (hall be in fpaces, other half-fames, or fillers up, or pannels from two feet to 
 two feet, or from Sixteen to fixteen inches, from midft to midft, whereof the Branchings (hall meet with 
 Tenons and Mortaifes within the body of the Struts, and within the pannels or fmall rafters; the which 
 order (hall alfobekepton the fide of the long panncl from the outward ridge unto the meeting of the 
 chief rafters. And within the rafting-peecc,. which is in the Angle athwart upon the Platform, is the 
 . , .. i is lovnea to tne opening wuliiu iu iiJe thclving-polt a- 
 
 outwnra ridge meeting. whprcAf ''t J/ ... . . . r .£ * * 
 
 bove and thTs ridge doth meet below with one fmall leg or puce, within the faid raifing-peece, and within 
 the body of the faid ridge, as alfo within the Bracers near to the King Poft, (hall meet by Tenons and 
 Mortaifes two Struts, the onebelow. and the other above, and there fliall meet twogreat Stays otEf- 
 felicrs within the faid gilder and the outward ridg,fo;that the little Stays which (hall reach thither.may 
 mcc* rot-ether within In like manner alfo (hall meet the pannels, as well within the raifing-piece, as 
 within the out-rid-e.as alfo the peers, the whole with Tenons and Mortaifes, with fpace, 'as is faid from 
 *wo to two feet, or from fixteen to fixteen inches. Here is that, we judged needful to be faid for the 
 places, where there is elevation ofthe Boarding above the laft Planchcr. It remains to fpeak of thofc, 
 where” there is no elevation, which may alfo be framed by the fecond Manner, which wc are about to fet 
 forth, and by the third and fourth following. 
 
 The third Manner hath very much refcmblance with the firft, except that in ftcad of the Afhlins and 
 ofthe Rafters applied above thcm.there arc nonebut fingle Rafters,continuing from the bottom to the 
 Top, and which bear upon the Beams, and upon the body of the walls below, and within the Ring-poft a- 
 bove The which King-poft defeends even unto the midft of the Beam, to thewhich it is joined with 
 Tenons and Mortaifes, and in cafe that the Beam hath a great Bearing, one may alfo bindc the King- 
 poft with the fame, with plates and pins of iron, fo that the rafters be well joined together within the 
 body of the Kin-poft, with the ends. But if the Beam hath not a great bearing, one may make tile 
 Beam ofone piece, and cut the King-poft above the fame, which (hall meet with the faid Beam, with 
 Tenons and Mortaifes, and by this means the Garrets (hall be freed from the inconvcniency oi the King- 
 poft. 
 
 The fourth manner is not much unlike to the fecond, except that the King-poft defeendeth upon the 
 nvdft of the Beam, and that the Boarding hath not any elevation upon the laft Planchcr or Floor : and 
 b-fides this, that there are Enterlaces over the bredth of the fidcs, upon the ends of the great Beams,the 
 King-poft is joined with the Beam by Tenons and Mortaifes. And if it chance that the Beam hath a 
 Ion - bearin-, one may fupport it with the King-poft, with plates and pins of iron: but if the Beam hath 
 no great Bearing, they may make it of one piece, and within it the King-poft (hall meet, without any 
 need to continue it lower. 
 
 There rcmcineib yet two other manner of fmall roofs, for to cover the paflagcs,ftairs,gal¬ 
 leries, and other conveniences,whereof the firft is made with fmall fermes,and fingle fermes, 
 The finall lermes or rafters joined arc compofed of two (pars or rafters, a King-poft in tiic 
 midft, and a Beam or fmall piece indented within another, the two rafters meeting together 
 above' wirhin the head of the King-poft, by Tenons and Mortaifes, and born below upon 
 the Summers if they be of Board, or upon the Platform of it if it be Mafons work. The 
 
 Beam 
 
00 
 
 ieam meeteth in the rafters, and in the King-pod by Tenons and Mortaile;^ Ti e Imgie 
 Roofs arc compofed of two Rafters coupled above with fenon and hiortaife, ai d 
 with a Beam made of two pieces, meeting within the rafterr, and within the bodie of the 
 crofs-tjuarter, which gocth from one quarter to the other, and fhad bear up the laiters b^- 
 Iow, upon the Summers or upon the Platforms, as hath bin laid. 
 
 The fingle fermes or quarters, mu ft iiavelpace between from rwo feet to two feet,or from 
 fixteen inches to fix teen inches. The top, piece, or crols. bar on high betw cell the two i mai t 
 quarters, muft be upheld by two bands meeting together, as Well within the piece of the top 
 or upper parr, as within the Bodie of the King- poll by Tenons and Mottaiks, unto the whicii 
 we may joine an overthwart rafter, or crofs-brace through the midft, if the bearing be o- 
 verjong. The Top muft be compofed of a Beam on the top, meeting within the great beam 
 of the ferme, and within the rafter of the top, and with two braces likewife meeting within 
 the laid wedges, within the which braces muft meet two rafters, the which Iikewiie fhall go 
 to meet within the outftde ridges. And within the rafters muft meet alio fmall wedge-, ha¬ 
 ving fpace between them from fixteen to fixteen inches, or from two to two feet, as hath bin 
 faid, and they muft come again to meet within the pannels, and the laid panncls fhall meet 
 below within the Summers or Platforms, and above within the otit-fide ridges. 
 
 The other Manner of fmall roof is that which they call a Pent-houfe, the which is com¬ 
 pofed of an half ferme, which confifteth in a Cloler or Tirant, born within the two bodges 
 of the wall, upon the which Tirant or Cloler is made to meet the great King-poft, upon the 
 length of the great wall , and within the Tirant or Clofer, there meets a Strut, or 
 bearer upheld hy its middle wirP a founccr-fiAt 1 ,Ka w.fe meeting as well in the faid 
 
 Strut as in the body of the King-poft. At the end of the Counter-fixi piece, and abuve the 
 ftrut muft be placed a pannel or piece inflaming a gutter,upheld by Tafleau and a blacker,’ 
 and between the two halt fermes fhall he the top or upper-piece,compofed of a piece of wood; 
 meeting, and born upon the heads of the King-Poft by tenons and mortaifes, and upheld be¬ 
 low by bands. And upon the upper-piece the pannel, fummer or platform,the rafters (hall be 
 placed, having fpaced between each, from two to two feet, or from fixteen to fixteen inches, 
 and the faid rafters fhall be pierced and faftned with pins of wood, as well upon the gutter ’ 
 props as the upper-piece, and below the laid rafters Hull be applied rafters feet, nailed upon 
 the faid rafters.
