the_o best_a and_o most_o likely_a opinion_n whereto_o apollonius_n answer_v there_o be_v a_o twofold_a art_n of_o imitation_n one_o whereof_o do_v with_o the_o hand_n and_o mind_n imitate_v 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 more_o perfect_a sort_n of_o paint_v which_o both_o with_o mind_n and_o hand_n do_v express_v the_o similitude_n of_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o other_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o same_o since_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 but_o that_o of_o paint_v from_o art_n the_o same_o thing_n may_v also_o be_v say_v of_o carve_v and_o mould_v but_o you_o seem_v to_o imagine_v that_o a_o picture_n itself_o consist_v not_o of_o

they_o sometime_o limn_v with_o mere_a lineament_n and_o without_o colour_n which_o kind_n of_o picture_n we_o ought_v to_o say_v consist_v only_o of_o shade_n and_o light_n for_o in_o they_o the_o similitude_n of_o thing_n appear_v the_o form_n mind_n modesty_n and_o boldness_n although_o such_o thing_n have_v no_o colour_n and_o however_o they_o express_v not_o the_o blood_n the_o colour_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 describe_v a_o indian_a in_o this_o manner_n with_o white_a lineament_n yet_o will_v he_o be_v conceive_v as_o swart_a for_o the_o flatness_n of_o the_o nose_n erect_v curl_n flaggy_a cheek_n and_o

without_o any_o absurdity_n i_o may_v aver_v that_o they_o who_o behold_v picture_n have_v also_o need_v of_o the_o imitative_a faculty_n for_o none_o can_v right_o commend_v a_o paint_a horse_n or_o
