and_o in_o case_n it_o be_v a_o fat_a face_n you_o will_v perceive_v the_o cheek_n to_o make_v the_o side_n of_o the_o face_n to_o swell_v out_o and_o so_o make_v the_o face_n look_v as_o if_o it_o be_v square_a and_o if_o it_o be_v neither_o too_o fat_a nor_o too_o lean_a it_o will_v be_v round_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o lean_a face_n the_o jawbone_n will_v stick_v out_o and_o the_o cheek_n fall_v in_o and_o the_o face_n will_v be_v long_o and_o slender_a observe_v when_o you_o draw_v the_o outmost_a circumference_n of_o a_o face_n to_o take_v the_o head_n and_o

that_o the_o old_a grecian_n make_v the_o goddess_n vesta_n but_o seven_o head_n high_a because_o this_o proportion_n be_v grave_a and_o matron_n like_a and_o therefore_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o
