man_n therefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o sight_n be_v deceive_v the_o pirrhonians_n do_v further_o allege_v that_o our_o sight_n be_v deceive_v when_o we_o think_v that_o a_o oar_n be_v break_v in_o the_o water_n when_o in_o ride_v we_o suppose_v that_o the_o hill_n and_o mountain_n do_v move_v when_o a_o shrub_n or_o the_o trunk_n and_o stub_n of_o a_o tree_n break_v and_o dissever_v from_o the_o bough_n and_o branch_n do_v seem_v to_o we_o a_o far_o off_o to_o be_v some_o man_n or_o some_o other_o quick_a creature_n and_o when_o a_o tower_n of_o a_o square_a form_n do●h_v seem_v to_o be_v round_o and_o that_o the_o high_a mountain_n a_o far_o off_o from_o we_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o cloud_n and_o near_o at_o hand_n to_o be_v rough_a and_o craggy_a place_n with_o steep_a downfalls_a deceive_v reason_n out_o of_o the_o art_n perspective_n to_o prove_v the_o sight_n to_o be_v deceive_v beside_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o very_a reason_n of_o the_o art_n perspective_n the_o great_a tower_n and_o high_a steeple_n the_o stately_a high_a and_o proud_a castle_n palace_n and_o house_n be_v see_v better_o a_o far_o off_o then_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o this_o happen_v say_v the_o optic_n by_o reason_n that_o all_o high_a building_n and_o coloss_n be_v a_o far_o off_o do_v oppose_v themselves_o equal_o against_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o eye_n in_o a_o right_a line_n but_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n they_o do_v not_o oppose_v themselves_o to_o all_o part_n but_o to_o some_o only_o in_o brief_a it_o be_v most_o certain_a according_a to_o the_o same_o art_n prospective_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v by_o the_o great_a angle_n of_o the_o eye_n appear_v much_o the_o great_a because_o that_o by_o the_o same_o we_o do_v cast_v and_o send_v forth_o our_o light_n more_o lively_a and_o those_o which_o be_v behold_v by_o the_o lesser_a angle_n be_v lesser_a and_o by_o the_o equal_a be_v equal_a by_o the_o high_a be_v high_a and_o by_o the_o low_a be_v low_a and_o humble_a moreover_o if_o body_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o greatness_n and_o the_o self_n same_o magnitude_n be_v place_v by_o space_n and_o distance_n interpose_v those_o which_o shall_v be_v near_o unto_o we_o will_v be_v see_v to_o our_o seem_a according_a to_o the_o very_a truth_n of_o they_o and_o those_o which_o shall_v be_v far_o off_o will_v be_v discern_v not_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n but_o in_o a_o true_a semblance_n and_o plato_n say_v that_o the_o painter_n and_o carver_n do_v observe_v this_o that_o make_v a_o plain_a ●nd_n broad_a picture_n or_o cut_v a_o statue_n or_o image_n in_o boss_n or_o compassewise_o if_o the_o s●me_n be_v for_o to_o s●rve_v near_o at_o hand_n they_o will_v make_v it_o according_a to_o the_o very_a true_a proportion_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o and_o will_v give_v it_o his_o draught_n his_o lineament_n his_o back-draught_n &_o his_o colour_n so_o proper_a and_o natural_a as_o may_v best_o represent_v it_o to_o the_o very_a truth_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v set_v aloft_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o some_o temple_n far_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n as_o be_v the_o minerva_n of_o phidias_n upon_o the_o acropolis_n of_o athens_n then_o will_v they_o make_v it_o very_o great_a not_o regard_v so_o much_o the_o make_n of_o it_o perfect_a as_o to_o accommodate_v it_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n who_o will_v judge_v thereof_o not_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n but_o according_a to_o their_o sight_n which_o be_v uncertain_a and_o doubtful_a do_v not_o judge_v of_o thing_n be_v far_o from_o it_o but_o only_o in_o a_o semblance_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o plato_n add_v that_o such_o a_o picture_n and_o carve_v image_n may_v be_v say_v a_o phantosme_n for_o that_o it_o appear_v to_o the_o eye_n perfect_a and_o accomplish_a according_a to_o the_o art_n of_o paint_v and_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o wherefore_o even_o by_o his_o authority_n it_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o the_o sight_n most_o common_o may_v be_v deceive_v and_o have_v not_o any_o certainty_n and_o assurance_n sleep_v reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sight_n be_v deceive_v by_o mistake_a thing_n see_v wake_v as_o well_o as_o sleep_v beside_o we_o do_v see_v many_o thing_n wake_v which_o we_o know_v not_o if_o we_o have_v see_v sleep_v or_o wake_v but_o the_o reason_n hereof_o come_v not_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o sight_n but_o it_o proceed_v of_o this_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o one_o have_v see_v a_o thing_n he_o sudden_o and_o immediate_o fall_v asleep_a or_o else_o be_v draw_v away_o with_o some_o other_o more_o gre●t_a and_o serious_a thought_n he_o dream_n nor_o think_v any_o more_o of_o that_o which_o be_v first_o of_o all_o present_v before_o his_o eye_n and_o i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v read_v in_o a_o certain_a book_n of_o belon_n the_o physician_n this_o history_n which_o he_o recount_v to_o have_v happen_v unto_o himself_o how_o that_o be_v in_o corsa_n on_o a_o time_n he_o arise_v sudden_o out_o of_o his_o bed_n early_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o hear_v a_o certain_a noise_n of_o woman_n weep_v he_o put_v his_o head_n out_o at_o the_o window_n and_o see_v cert●yne_a woman_n that_o run_v throughout_o the_o town_n with_o their_o hair_n hang_v and_o scatter_a about_o their_o shoulder_n with_o their_o naked_a breast_n lay_v open_a cry_v and_o lament_v most_o bitter_o and_o return_v unto_o his_o bed_n he_o soon_o fall_v into_o a_o sleep_n again_o afterwards_o when_o it_o be_v full_a day_n and_o be_v ris●n_v up_o and_o ready_o apparel_v he_o recount_v unto_o his_o host_n that_o which_o he_o think_v he_o have_v see_v not_o in_o truth_n but_o as_o he_o be_v persuade_v in_o his_o sleep_n but_o the_o host_n assure_v he_o of_o the_o contrary_a that_o he_o have_v true_o and_o indeed_o see_v and_o not_o in_o a_o dream_n those_o woman_n in_o the_o same_o sort_n as_o he_o have_v relate_v it_o and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v witness_v thus_o much_o that_o not_o once_o but_o often_o i_o have_v see_v those_o thing_n which_o i_o can_v not_o assure_v myself_o whether_o i_o do_v imagine_v they_o in_o dream_v or_o have_v see_v they_o with_o my_o eye_n which_o also_o i_o think_v to_o be_v natural_a to_o the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o man_n who_o have_v their_o spirit_n and_o mind_n withdraw_v either_o by_o earnest_a study_n or_o by_o the_o weighty_a affair_n which_o they_o have_v in_o hand_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o thing_n of_o little_a reckon_n and_o matter_n of_o small_a consequence_n which_o they_o have_v see_v shall_v be_v esteem_v as_o dream_n or_o foolish_a fancy_n conceive_v in_o their_o sleep_n furthermore_o when_o a_o man_n rise_v early_o by_o day_n break_v and_o go_v abroad_o he_o shall_v sometime_o be_v deceive_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o this_o may_v happen_v not_o only_o to_o one_o person_n alone_o 3._o lib._n ult._n regum_fw-la cap._n 3._o but_o even_o to_o a_o whole_a army_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o king_n we_o may_v read_v that_o the_o moabite_n after_o the_o death_n of_o achab_n their_o prince_n do_v revolt_n and_o withdraw_v

wherefore_o take_v the_o field_n early_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o approach_v near_o these_o water_n which_o god_n have_v miraculous_o cause_v new_o to_o spring_v up_o at_o the_o prayer_n of_o
