exact_a and_o true_a proportion_n of_o man_n body_n be_v not_o understand_v by_o occasion_n whereof_o there_o never_o come_v any_o excellent_a piece_n abroad_o although_o the_o matter_n be_v never_o so_o costly_a and_o consequent_o that_o the_o painter_n be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o they_o have_v in_o hand_n instead_o of_o proportionable_a man_n make_v lame_a picture_n as_o the_o architecture_n temple_n image_n and_o picture_n make_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o especial_o in_o italy_n about_o the_o time_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a until_o giotto_n in_o tuscany_n as_o andrino_n di_fw-mi edesia_n pavese_n in_o lombardy_n can_v sufficient_o witness_v and_o this_o in_o a_o word_n be_v that_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o so_o satisfi_v the_o judgement_n that_o it_o make_v it_o not_o only_o able_a to_o make_v whosoever_o we_o listen_v but_o also_o teach_v we_o to_o judge_v of_o image_n and_o picture_n as_o well_o ancient_a as_o new_a and_o without_o this_o a_o painter_n beside_o that_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o a_o painter_n be_v like_o one_o which_o persuade_v himself_o he_o swim_v above_o water_n when_o indeed_o he_o sink_v to_o conclude_v than_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v any_o decent_a or_o well_o proportion_v thing_n without_o this_o symetrical_a measure_n of_o the_o part_n orderly_o unite_v wherefore_o my_o great_a endeavour_n shall_v be_v to_o lay_v open_a the_o worthiness_n of_o this_o part_n of_o paint_v unto_o all_o such_o as_o be_v natural_o incline_v thereunto_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o good_a temperature_n join_v with_o a_o apt_a disposition_n of_o the_o part_n thereof_o for_o such_o man_n will_v be_v much_o affect_v therewith_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v the_o better_o perceive_v the_o force_n of_o nature_n who_o by_o industry_n and_o help_n of_o a_o good_a conceit_n will_v easy_o attain_v to_o so_o deep_a a_o reach_n that_o they_o will_v be_v able_a upon_o the_o sudden_a to_o discern_v any_o disproportion_n as_o a_o thing_n repugnant_a to_o their_o nature_n unto_o which_o perfection_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n they_o can_v never_o attain_v who_o judgement_n be_v

surface_n of_o garish_a colour_n wrought_v after_o their_o own_o humour_n who_o prove_v only_a dawber_n of_o image_n and_o wall_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n move_v the_o beholder_n partly_o to_o smile_v at_o their_o folly_n and_o partly_o to_o grieve_v that_o the_o art_n shall_v be_v thus_o disgrace_v by_o such_o absurd_a idiot_n who_o as_o they_o have_v no_o judgement_n herein_o so_o do_v they_o run_v into_o divers_a other_o most_o shameful_a error_n into_o which_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o ever_o fell_a who_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o beauty_n of_o proportion_n but_o have_v rather_o prove_v man_n of_o rare_a spirit_n and_o sound_a judgement_n as_o may_v be_v gather_v by_o the_o great_a request_n it_o be_v in_o until_o the_o time_n of_o those_o prince_n as_o well_o ancient_a as_o late_a but_o before_o i_o proceed_v any_o far_a i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o treat_v something_o of_o a_o head_n in_o particular_a first_o of_o the_o head_n in_o prophile_n or_o sideways_o the_o manner_n to_o make_v this_o head_n by_o just_a and_o safe_a rule_n be_v thus_o first_o form_n a_o perfect_a equal_a triangle_n in_o what_o position_n you_o will_v turn_v the_o triangle_n to_o make_v the_o face_n upon_o one_o of_o the_o three_o side_n be_v it_o which_o it_o will_v either_o upward_o or_o downward_o fialetti_n according_a to_o odnardo_n fialetti_n high_a or_o low_a divide_v that_o side_n into_o three_o equal_a part_n the_o one_o to_o serve_v from_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o hair_n to_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o forehead_n the_o second_o thence_o to_o the_o under_o part_n of_o the_o nostril_n the_o three_o to_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o chinn_n now_o have_v frame_v these_o three_o line_n draw_v a_o little_a crooked_a stroke_n with_o a_o coal_n or_o chalk_n out_o of_o the_o right_a line_n that_o may_v reach_v from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o forehead_n unto_o the_o eyebrow_n from_o whence_o draw_v away_o the_o slope_n line_n bend_v at_o the_o end_n to_o perform_v the_o nose_n either_o long_a short_a gross_a or_o thin_a as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o end_v that_o at_o the_o second_o distance_n where_o the_o nostril_n end_n then_o subdivide_v the_o remain_a three_o part_n in_o the_o midst_n where_o the_o mouth_n shall_v be_v place_v for_o the_o part_n of_o the_o upper_a and_o under_o lip_n then_o frame_v the_o chinn_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o perpendicular_a line_n that_o it_o fall_v not_o out_o of_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o chinn_n adjoin_v thereto_o the_o under_o chinn_n down_o to_o the_o throat-pit_n so_o with_o the_o other_o two_o divide_v line_n the_o one_o from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o forehead_n downward_o and_o end_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o back_n part_n of_o the_o ear_n the_o other_o proceed_v upward_o from_o the_o chinn_n ascen_v till_o that_o meet_a with_o the_o superior_a descend_a line_n who_o intersection_n direct_v the_o ear_n that_o the_o circumference_n thereof_o stretch_v not_o too_o far_o thus_o with_o your_o judgement_n take_v the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o forehead_n and_o come_v to_o describe_v a_o great_a circular_a line_n about_o to_o form_n with_o that_o the_o roundness_n of_o the_o head_n unto_o the_o nape_n of_o the_o neck_n keep_v the_o proportion_n that_o nature_n teach_v and_o from_o thence_o downward_o frame_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o neck_n remember_v that_o the_o tip_n of_o the_o ear_n do_v not_o exceed_v the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o nostril_n so_o you_o may_v have_v the_o head_n in_o what_o position_n you_o will_v so_o this_o abandon_v not_o the_o two_o other_o line_n each_o concur_v in_o their_o due_a point_n of_o the_o foreright_a face_n be_v then_o desireous_a to_o draw_v the_o foreright_a face_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o form_n a_o perfect_a oval_n which_o be_v make_v divide_v it_o in_o the_o midst_n with_o a_o line_n the_o long_a way_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o perpendicular_a line_n divide_v this_o line_n into_o three_o equal_a part_n allow_v a_o four_o of_o one_o of_o the_o three_o part_n for_o the_o hair_n in_o the_o forehead_n the_o first_o for_o the_o forehead_n the_o second_o for_o the_o nose_n the_o three_o for_o the_o chin._n in_o the_o midst_n thereof_o must_v the_o mouth_n be_v form_v always_o remember_v that_o the_o eye_n must_v be_v in_o one_o line_n the_o cross_a line_n of_o the_o nose_n and_o mouth_n must_v always_o be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o cross_a line_n where_o the_o eye_n be_v place_v and_o the_o eye_n must_v be_v the_o length_n of_o one_o eye_n distant_a from_o the_o other_o and_o that_o their_o inward_a corner_n be_v perpendicular_o over_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o nostril_n punctual_o but_o to_o make_v the_o ear_n in_o a_o foreright_a face_n proportionable_a they_o must_v be_v much_o foreshortn_v by_o foreshortn_v i_o mean_v when_o the_o eye_n do_v not_o see_v the_o full_a latitude_n of_o it_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o length_n of_o the_o ear_n to_o be_v from_o the_o eyebrow_n to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o nostril_n and_o then_o join_v the_o neck_n with_o the_o hair_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o may_v seem_v most_o pleasant_a unto_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o head_n in_o foreshortn_v hitherto_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o the_o head_n both_o foreright_a and_o in_o other_o position_n but_o that_o you_o may_v know_v all_o that_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o perfect_a understanding_n of_o this_o profession_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o i_o specify_v the_o manner_n how_o to_o draw_v the_o face_n by_o a_o easy_a absolute_a and_o fair_a way_n treat_v thus_o i_o propound_v to_o you_o methodical_a mean_n therein_o because_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o facilitate_v the_o matter_n in_o that_o manner_n but_o without_o write_v thereupon_o it_o may_v be_v

both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o also_o i_o say_v that_o the_o foreshortn_n which_o be_v make_v only_o with_o fretts_n grate_v square_n or_o with_o geometrical_a instrument_n breed_v only_o a_o

whole_a body_n be_v frame_v together_o therefore_o i_o will_v show_v a_o easy_a rule_n very_o like_a to_o that_o of_o the_o foreright_a face_n that_o be_v to_o
