Part two consists of eleven architectural illustrations depicting each individual component of the church and materials to be used. Part three is under the heading "Description of the Manner of Executing the Following Designs" and lays out the duties of each worker involved in the construction of the building including labourer [sic], bricklayer, stonemason, carpenter and joiner, plasterer, blacksmith, glazier, and painter.
