there was an enlarging and a winding about] Heb. it was made broader and went round. As 1 Kings 6:6. The chambers were jutted out one more then another, the second story over the first, and the third over the second and so the highest was broadest, and therefore the breadth of the house is said to be above. and a winding about still upward] As 1 Kings 6:8. By winding staires they went out of the lowest chamber into the middle, and out of the middle into the highest. And indeed this winding was double, for it wound not only from one chamber up into another, but from one chamber into another, on the same floore there was a winding round about the house. For since two maine doores served for the generall entrance into all these chambers, one on the North side, and another on the South, and none on the West end, vers. 11. it was the artificialnesse of the building, to have a winding passage round about the whole fabricke in every story: much like the passage above staires about the royall Exchange London, save that in this there was the difference, that the chambers had partitions one from another which that passage hath not, and that there was not an incompassing cleane about the square of the Temple, as there is about that, for the East end was excepted.
