now_o pliny_n call_v it_o plain_o a_o liberal_a art_n which_o authority_n of_o he_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o reason_n for_o although_o the_o painter_n can_v art_n paint_v be_v a_o liberal_a art_n attain_v to_o his_o end_n but_o by_o work_v both_o with_o his_o hand_n and_o pencil_n yet_o there_o be_v so_o little_a pain_n and_o labour_n bestow_v in_o this_o exercise_n that_o there_o be_v no_o ingenious_a man_n in_o the_o world_n unto_o who_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o most_o agreeable_a and_o infinite_o pleasant_a for_o we_o read_v of_o the_o french_a king_n francis_n the_o first_o of_o

that_o it_o have_v certain_a demonstrable_a conclusion_n deduce_v from_o the_o first_o and_o immediate_a principal_n thereof_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o liberal_a art_n now_o what_o kind_n of_o liberal_a art_n it_o be_v to_o omit_v all_o other_o proof_n may_v easy_o appear_v by_o the_o foresay_a definition_n where_o it_o be_v first_o say_v that_o it_o represent_v upon_o

the_o beam_n that_o they_o can_v pierce_v inward_o and_o perform_v their_o effect_n perfect_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o eye_n for_o as_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v see_v and_o place_v near_a the_o eye_n come_v unto_o it_o with_o a_o big_a angle_n so_o be_v it_o also_o see_v more_o distinct_o because_o it_o be_v more_o lighten_v but_o the_o
