Webster The Deuice called Londinium THese fiue Triumphall Arches were first taken in hand in the beginning of Aprill 1603. presently after his Maiesty was proclaimed It being expected that his passage would haue bene through his honourable City and Chamber to his Coronation vpon Saint Iames his day following But by reason of the sicknesse it pleased his Maiestie to be solemnely Crowned at Westminster without sight of these Triumphs Notwithstanding the businesse being set on foote went on with all expedition till Bartholmew-tide and then ceased because of the great mortalitie 40. dayes more was giuen for the preparing of this Triumphall Arch In which time the streetes for that purpose were diligently surueyed heights breadths and distances taken as it were to make Fortisications for the solemnities Seuen peeces of ground like so many fields for a battell were plotted forth vpon which these Triumphes should be erected The gladsome and long desired Morning at length is come In which the Streetes seeme to bee paued with people that in heapes flocke together to behold their proud heads that were aduanced in this manner THE first Pegme was erected in Fanchurch-streete the backe of it so learning on the East ende of the Church that it ouer-spread the whole streete And thus we describe it It was a Flat-square builded vpright the Perpendicular-line of the whole Frame that is to say the distance from the bottome to the top as the Ground-line is also in this so in all the rest to be found out and tried by the Scale diuided by 1. 2. 3. 4. and 5. and set at the lower end of the Peece By which figures feete are represented So that in all the descriptions where mention is to bee made of Heights Breadths or any other Commensurable proportions you shall find them left thus with a blancke because we wish you rather to apply them to the Scale your selfe then by setting them downe to call either your skill or iudgement in question And note withall that the Ground-plot hath not the same Scale which the vpright hath for of the two Scales which you see annexed the Lesser is of the Ground and standeth in the Ground-plot the Greater for the Edifice or Building it selfe This Gate of Passage then into which his Maiesty made his first entrance was deriued from the Tuscana beeing the principal pillar of those 5. vpon which the Noble Frame of Architecture doth stand for the Tuscane Columne is the strongest most worthy to support so famous a Worke as this Fabricke was considering that vpon his Rusticke Pillars the goodliest Houses Turrets Steeples c. within this City were to be borne And those
