whatsoever_o it_o please_v and_o this_o be_v the_o art_n of_o paint_v the_o other_o do_v with_o the_o mind_n alone_o frame_v similitude_n not_o twofold_a say_v damis_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o

by_o it_o a_o man_n can_v only_o conceive_v and_o imitate_v with_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o skilled_a in_o paint_v nor_o able_a to_o express_v thing_n by_o his_o hand_n be_v it_o say_v apollonius_n because_o his_o hand_n have_v be_v maim_v with_o some_o blow_n or_o distemper_n no_o very_o answer_v damis_n but_o because_o he_o never_o use_v to_o handle_v a_o pencil_n or_o other_o such_o instrument_n or_o colour_n be_v unskilled_a in_o the_o art_n of_o limn_v in_o this_o therefore_o say_v apollonius_n we_o both_o agree_v that_o the_o faculty_n of_o imitate_v proceed_v from_o nature_n

of_o the_o hair_n nor_o the_o down_o on_o the_o chin_n yet_o do_v they_o with_o one_o simple_a kind_n of_o draught_n represent_v the_o similitude_n of_o a_o tawny_a or_o white_a man_n nay_o if_o we_o
