of_o a_o wonderful_a vivacity_n the_o reason_n why_o they_o make_v use_v of_o those_o kind_n of_o ground_n be_v because_o white_a as_o well_o preserve_v a_o brightness_n under_o the_o transparency_n

that_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o colour_n assist_v and_o preserve_v each_o other_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o glaze_v colour_n have_v a_o vivacity_n which_o can_v never_o be_v imitate_v
