destroy_v they_o to_o recover_v then_o its_o pristine_a lustre_n and_o restore_v she_o to_o original_a purity_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n recall_v that_o primitive_a severity_n by_o which_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o examine_v the_o production_n of_o those_o renown_a painter_n who_o be_v of_o old_a so_o esteem_v and_o who_o work_n have_v survive_v their_o author_n so_o many_o age_n and_o render_v

the_o ancient_n steer_v their_o course_n they_o may_v sail_v by_o the_o same_o rout_n themselves_o and_o discover_v those_o thing_n to_o the_o very_a bottom_n which_o they_o have_v never_o attain_v to_o without_o it_o but_o superficial_o and_o with_o much_o imperfection_n and_o since_o i_o consider_v how_o extreme_o difficult_a it_o be_v to_o disabuse_v those_o who_o be_v already_o infect_v with_o so_o common_a and_o pernicious_a a_o abuse_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o specious_a liberty_n i_o can_v not_o think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o talk_v of_o thing_n only_o and_o to_o prove_v

i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o some_o among_o the_o work_n of_o our_o most_o celebrate_a painter_n to_o which_o have_v apply_v all_o those_o principle_n which_o i_o have_v produce_v there_o remain_v
