81. "And he set up the pillars in the Porch
of the Temple"


4I. The two pillars, and the two bowls OF
the chapters that on the top OF the two pill
lars"


To begin with the Porch, by which it is to be
understood, that its greatest measure was the
width of the Temple and that it extended hall
that width before the CelIa-1ow the circumfeT-
ence of the columns being 81 34 #. their dame
ter would therefore have been 6 IL feet l sup
pose that the apitals are included III the height
of the columns. 1t cannot BE- thought that the
Chapters were the Capitals, if their height were
feet which would offend against proportion,
for, even in the DoPic order, such proportion
would be nearly that Of the whole Entablature.
The word chapters is to be understood, there
fore, to mean the several members forming the
Entabature, which were placed upon the capi-
tails of The columns.


1t is probable that the entabature was formed
of two stones, in width feet the height Uf each
would be about proportional height for that
portion.


The length of the Temple is about 100 1-2
feet, breadth So l2 feet, heig ght sd l-2 feet,
which height agrees with what it would be, sup
posing the Pediment to have had the same in
clnation as some of the Grecian Temples
height of columns 80 Sd feet and since the
proportion Of the columns did not vary very
much from those Temples, it is fair to conclude
that they were OF that order which is now used
in our State Capitol and that the bowls, men
toned in the Book Of Kings, were the circular
parts of the capital.


may remark before concluding, that these
signs are calculated on the understanding that
|. 824 is equal to Cubit, and that nothing is
allowed for the thickness of the external walls.
