childhood_n the_o light_n begin_v to_o appear_v more_o sharp_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o contract_n of_o the_o superficies_n but_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o variableness_n answerable_a to_o the_o gesture_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n beginning_n to_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a in_o youth_n the_o superficies_n be_v protract_v and_o restrain_v make_v the_o body_n seemly_a yet_o soft_a and_o tender_a neither_o fat_a nor_o lean_a in_o this_o age_n second_o light_n breed_v wonderful_a sweetness_n delightful_a to_o the_o eye_n be_v diprive_v of_o spread_v of_o the_o light_n and_o with_o great_a decency_n give_v sweet_a and_o firm_a shadow_n in_o manhood_n the_o light_n run_v with_o great_a force_n have_v the_o great_a perfection_n as_o ever_o they_o will_v have_v not_o too_o unpleasant_a nor_o too_o sweet_a but_o much_o delightful_a accompany_v with_o a_o firm_a stoutness_n and_o in_o some_o part_v something_o more_o fierce_a in_o constant_a age_n the_o body_n be_v more_o compact_a and_o settle_v the_o light_n more_o sharp_a and_o full_a of_o force_n in_o old_a age_n the_o light_n appear_v heavy_a and_o full_a of_o majesty_n and_o gravity_n and_o so_o contrary_a wise_a the_o shadow_n by_o reason_n the_o superficies_n be_v deprive_v of_o that_o quality_n of_o increase_v and_o vigour_n yet_o not_o crude_a and_o hallow_v without_o order_n but_o in_o a_o middle_a temper_n in_o dotage_n the_o superficies_n be_v sharp_o elevate_v and_o make_v acute_a angle_n and_o decline_a line_n cause_n the_o light_n run_v upon_o they_o to_o appear_v sharp_a be_v encounter_v with_o very_o deep_a shadow_n the_o eye_n whole_o shadow_v with_o the_o eyebrow_n the_o mouth_n with_o the_o nose_n the_o cheek_n with_o their_o ball_n the_o forehead_n with_o pulse_n and_o so_o through_o all_o other_o part_n as_o the_o concavity_n of_o the_o bone_n without_o flesh_n by_o the_o most_o apparent_a part_n of_o the_o bone_n in_o infancy_n we_o must_v therefore_o express_v simplicity_n in_o childhood_n a_o sharp_a simplicity_n in_o youth_n amiableness_n in_o manhood_n a_o grave_a beauty_n in_o constant_a age_n lustiness_n and_o courage_n gravity_n majesty_n and_o consideration_n in_o old_a age._n we_o must_v likewise_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o design_n there_o be_v one_o principal_a light_n which_o must_v shall_fw-mi most_o strong_o on_o that_o part_n near_o to_o the_o light_n and_o as_o the_o superficies_n be_v shorten_v according_a to_o the_o distance_n from_o the_o light_n so_o the_o body_n lose_v as_o much_o of_o its_o colour_n as_o it_o lack_v of_o the_o light_n and_o so_o the_o colour_n fail_v by_o degree_n until_o the_o superficies_n decay_v together_o with_o the_o light_n cap._n xxii_o farther_o precept_n about_o light_n it_o be_v a_o general_n rule_n that_o the_o light_n must_v be_v give_v to_o body_n according_a to_o the_o place_n through_o which_o they_o pass_v and_o this_o must_v be_v order_v so_o that_o the_o light_n do_v ever_o touch_v more_o sudden_o on_o the_o middle_a line_n suppose_v that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n which_o may_v be_v see_v at_o one_o view_n to_o be_v divide_v by_o five_o line_n into_o four_o space_n equal_a in_o power_n the_o painter_n must_v suppose_v one_o of_o these_o four_o space_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o the_o three_o other_o to_o appear_v imagine_v that_o these_o three_o space_n which_o be_v see_v be_v divide_v in_o four_o line_n equal_a in_o a_o perspective_n semicircle_n make_v the_o chief_a light_n to_o strike_v more_o strong_o on_o the_o second_o line_n and_o in_o the_o second_o space_n heighten_v which_o be_v consequent_o to_o be_v place_v in_o the_o three_o line_n he_o shall_v put_v as_o much_o shadow_n as_o he_o see_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o figure_n shall_v be_v wonderful_o raise_v and_o more_o than_o if_o the_o ligbt_n be_v place_v side-long_a in_o the_o first_o line_n or_o in_o the_o middle_n on_o the_o space_n between_o the_o second_o and_o the_o three_o because_o that_o make_v too_o much_o shadow_n and_o this_o too_o much_o light_n but_o in_o ceiling_n the_o light_n be_v take_v from_o the_o window_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o that_o the_o light_n will_v sometime_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o first_o line_n according_a to_o the_o aspect_n of_o lively_a body_n either_o side-long_a from_o above_o or_o from_o below_o as_o the_o body_n be_v tutn_v to_o the_o light_n in_o the_o plain_a superficies_n this_o rule_n must_v be_v always_o observe_v that_o the_o light_n give_v to_o body_n must_v never_o be_v perpendicular_a over_o their_o head_n for_o it_o will_v breed_v this_o inconvenience_n that_o the_o upper_a part_n will_v always_o shadow_v the_o low_a as_o the_o eyebrow_n half_a the_o cheek_n the_o hair_n all_o the_o face_n etc._n etc._n except_o where_o the_o principal_a of_o the_o picture_n be_v in_o a_o scene_n of_o glory_n above_o than_o the_o figure_n on_o the_o earth_n may_v have_v a_o light_n perpendicular_a from_o the_o glory_n above_o as_o in_o a_o picture_n of_o rubens_n of_o st._n roche_n where_o the_o sudplicant_n below_o receive_v such_o light_n that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v count_v next_o the_o light_n which_o from_o the_o first_o point_v extend_v itself_o far_a out_o on_o that_o side_n then_o the_o rest_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v from_o on_o high_a therefore_o that_o light_n be_v the_o quick_a cause_v the_o superficies_n to_o receive_v the_o light_n more_o strong_o viz._n that_o superficies_n which_o be_v next_o to_o we_o and_o that_o which_o look_v upward_o both_o which_o receive_v it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o strong_o by_o how_o much_o the_o high_o they_o be_v because_o they_o be_v near_o the_o appoint_v light_n and_o this_o be_v the_o original_a &_o ground_n of_o all_o other_o light_n which_o be_v orderly_o dispose_v through_o all_o body_n give_v they_o their_o heighten_v aceord_o to_o the_o direction_n of_o that_o only_a light_n situation_n and_o climate_n must_v also_o be_v observe_v they_o who_o inhabit_v the_o temperate_a zone_n the_o light_n cast_v their_o shadow_n towards_o the_o north_n who_o inhabit_v the_o hot_a zone_n have_v a_o right_a sphere_n and_o the_o aequinoctial_a for_o their_o zenith_n their_o shadow_n be_v under_o their_o foot_n at_o noon_n because_o they_o have_v the_o sun_n perpendicular_a to_o their_o body_n but_o they_o who_o dwell_v under_o the_o pole_n have_v their_o shadow_n carry_v round_o about_o they_o like_o a_o wheel_n nevertheless_o we_o must_v general_o consider_v the_o best_a effect_n of_o

the_o sun_n which_o in_o that_o part_n where_o it_o begin_v to_o rise_v cast_v the_o shadow_n of_o body_n towards_o the_o west_n and_o to_o other_o part_n according_a to_o his_o aspect_n we_o will_v now_o lay_v down_o a_o few_o precept_n necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v and_o so_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n of_o chiaro_n scuro_n in_o light_n we_o must_v consider_v the_o sun_n in_o his_o luster_n as_o rise_v meridional_a set_v and_o according_a to_o the_o vapour_n he_o meet_v in_o the_o air._n clear_a air_n likewise_o through_o which_o the_o light_n be_v spread_v and_o be_v

too_o great_a a_o brightness_n we_o must_v consider_v light_n as_o principal_a fall_a perpendicular_a without_o interruption_n on_o any_o surface_n or_o extremity_n glance_v by_o slide_v diagonal_o

chief_a light_n must_v be_v on_o the_o principal_a figure_n of_o the_o group_n and_o must_v be_v extend_v without_o the_o interruption_n of_o little_a shadow_n that_o the_o relievo_n may_v stand_v more_o bold_o out_o all_o shadow_n must_v have_v a_o sympathy_n with_o the_o light_n in_o their_o colour_n as_o likewise_o the_o reflection_n with_o the_o body_n reflect_v arteficial_a light_n if_o
