I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts.

Rev. ii. 23.

Reins of a vault (Arch.), the parts between the crown and the spring or

abutment, including, and having especial reference to, the loading or

filling behind the shell of the vault. The reins are to a vault nearly

what the haunches are to an arch, and when a vault gives way by

thrusting outward, it is because its reins are not sufficiently filled

up.
