divide_v that_o ovale_n into_o four_o equal_a part_n the_o first_o be_v for_o the_o hair_n the_o second_o for_o the_o forehead_n and_o brow_n the_o three_o for_o the_o nose_n the_o four_o for_o the_o mouth_n and_o chin_n as_o afore_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o fielettoe_n but_o when_o you_o draw_v after_o the_o life_n you_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v this_o rule_n exact_o because_o some_o man_n have_v a_o long_a nose_n and_o another_o a_o short_a one_o a_o high_a forehead_n another_o a_o low_a forehead_n therefore_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o a_o hundred_o man_n face_n that_o they_o all_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o the_o eye_n must_v be_v place_v just_o the_o length_n of_o one_o eye_n the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o then_o have_v draw_v the_o head_n you_o measure_v out_o eight_o time_n the_o length_n of_o the_o head_n than_o the_o head_n be_v reckon_v one_o of_o the_o eight_o part_n than_o you_o must_v draw_v a_o straight_a line_n from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o head_n to_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n one_o head_n length_n from_o the_o chin_n you_o must_v draw_v the_o breast_n the_o three_o length_n reach_v to_o the_o navel_n the_o four_o to_o the_o privity_n the_o

the_o heel_n and_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n but_o observe_v as_o you_o draw_v downward_o from_o the_o head_n to_o place_v the_o muscle_n in_o their_o right_a place_n according_a to_o nature_n and_o because_o there_o be_v no_o certain_a rule_n for_o draw_v the_o muscle_n but_o only_a to_o observe_v they_o exact_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o life_n the_o breadth_n of_o the_o shoulder_n contain_v

of_o the_o knee_n a_o hand_n must_v be_v no_o long_o than_o the_o length_n of_o the_o face_n that_o when_o the_o hand_n be_v spread_v abroad_o it_o must_v as_o it_o be_v cover_v the_o face_n and_o no_o more_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o one_o that_o intend_v to_o practise_v to_o draw_v naked_a figure_n to_o draw_v after_o good_a anatomy_n of_o plaster_n and_o when_o you_o have_v practise_v a_o while_n it_o will_v learn_v you_o to_o place_v all_o your_o muscle_n according_a to_o nature_n or_o art_n there_o be_v also_o good_a book_n of_o anatomy_n with_o print_n and_o instruction_n to_o they_o which_o be_v very_o useful_a for_o one_o that_o intend_v to_o draw_v a_o good_a naked_a figure_n which_o you_o can_v never_o be_v eminent_a at_o without_o you_o understand_v the_o anatomy_n and_o use_n to_o draw_v after_o the_o life_n very_o much_o some_o further_a observation_n in_o draw_v a_o naked_a figure_n whatsoever_o you_o draw_v draw_v it_o at_o first_o very_o light_o with_o a_o coal_n because_o if_o it_o be_v out_o of_o proportion_n you_o can_v the_o easy_o mend_v it_o and_o rub_v it_o out_o and_o draw_v it_o again_o anew_o but_o note_n that_o you_o must_v finish_v nothing_o with_o your_o coal_n before_o you_o see_v every_o thing_n be_v place_v right_o according_a to_o art_n and_o proportion_n and_o then_o finish_v it_o the_o one_o after_o the_o other_o as_o exact_o and_o curious_o as_o you_o can_v possible_o in_o the_o draw_v a_o naked_a figure_n observe_v first_o that_o you_o draw_v the_o head_n very_o exact_o and_o next_o the_o shoulder_n in_o their_o just_a breadth_n as_o before_o mention_v contain_v two_o measure_n of_o the_o head_n then_o you_o draw_v the_o trunk_n of_o the_o body_n beginning_n just_a at_o the_o armpit_n and_o you_o may_v leave_v the_o arm_n to_o finish_v till_o afterwards_o and_o then_o you_o proceed_v to_o draw_v down_o to_o the_o hip_n on_o both_o side_n but_o be_v sure_a that_o you_o exact_o observe_v the_o breadth_n of_o the_o waist_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v this_o then_o draw_v that_o leg_n first_o which_o the_o body_n stand_v firm_a upon_o then_o draw_v the_o other_o which_o stand_v loose_a of_o the_o two_o but_o be_v sure_a to_o place_v that_o leg_n which_o the_o figure_n stand_v upon_o firm_o and_o right_o upon_o the_o straight_a line_n which_o come_v down_o from_o the_o head_n or_o else_o the_o figure_n may_v seem_v to_o yield_v one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o and_o as_o it_o be_v fall_v and_o last_o you_o must_v proceed_v to_o draw_v the_o arm_n and_o hand_n a_o further_a observation_n when_o you_o draw_v a_o naked_a figure_n you_o must_v judicious_o and_o exact_o observe_v to_o place_v the_o joint_n and_o sinew_n and_o muscle_n in_o their_o natural_a place_n according_a to_o their_o proportion_n and_o observe_v that_o one_o joint_n be_v not_o high_a or_o low_a than_o the_o other_o otherwise_o the_o figure_n will_v seem_v to_o be_v crooked_a and_o deform_a and_o out_o of_o proportion_n to_o the_o judicious_a eye_n see_v that_o every_o parallel_a joint_n must_v bend_v moderate_o according_a to_o nature_n and_o answer_v the_o other_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o it_o and_o note_v that_o the_o straight_a stroke_n must_v be_v strike_v according_a to_o the_o bend_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o if_o the_o body_n bow_n the_o stroke_n must_v bow_v also_o and_o if_o the_o body_n stoop_v downward_o a_o little_a you_o must_v strike_v your_o stroke_n slope_v according_o then_o make_v the_o shoulder_n which_o ought_v to_o stand_v straight_o over_o one_o another_o the_o one_o to_o be_v a_o little_a high_o than_o the_o other_o on_o that_o side_n which_o the_o body_n turn_v upon_o the_o shoulder_n and_o the_o other_o joint_n which_o otherwise_o ought_v to_o be_v place_v one_o even_o against_o another_o you_o must_v make_v they_o to_o yield_v something_o low_a than_o that_o side_n the_o figure_n stand_v firm_a upon_o more_o or_o less_o answerable_a to_o the_o stoop_n of_o the_o body_n and_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v very_o exact_a and_o careful_a in_o the_o draw_v your_o outmost_a circumference_n and_o to_o be_v very_o careful_a in_o draw_v your_o muscle_n and_o joint_n which_o be_v in_o the_o body_n therefore_o because_o you_o shall_v place_v thing_n in_o their_o right_n and_o natural_a place_n you_o strike_v the_o straight_a line_n from_o the_o pit_n of_o the_o throat_n straight_o down_o just_a in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o body_n where_o you_o can_v discern_v the_o part_n of_o the_o rib_n from_o thence_o you_o must_v proceed_v with_o your_o line_n quite_o down_o to_o the_o foot_n and_o be_v sure_a to_o observe_v the_o bow_n and_o bend_n of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o draw_v that_o part_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o that_o which_o bend_v to_o yield_v and_o bend_v according_o with_o it_o as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o side_n of_o the_o body_n do_v yield_v or_o bend_v inward_o than_o you_o must_v make_v the_o other_o side_n for_o to_o stand_v out_o answerable_a and_o according_a to_o the_o bend_n in_o of_o the_o otherside_n and_o observe_v whensoever_o you_o draw_v the_o back_n bend_v in_o you_o must_v make_v the_o belly_n to_o yield_v in_o according_a to_o it_o so_o that_o when_o the_o belly_n yield_v in_o the_o back_n must_v stick_v out_o according_a to_o proportion_n and_o also_o if_o the_o buttock_n stick_v out_o then_o that_o which_o be_v over_o in_o opposition_n to_o it_o must_v yield_v in_o equal_o this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o these_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o in_o all_o the_o other_o also_o as_o when_o the_o knee_n bend_v out_o than_o the_o ham_n which_o answer_v to_o it_o must_v yield_v in_o according_o and_o therefore_o this_o rule_n be_v very_o necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v very_o exact_o in_o all_o the_o other_o joint_n or_o else_o peradventure_o the_o body_n will_v not_o have_v all_o the_o natural_a wind_n and_o yield_n which_o give_v the_o great_a looseness_n to_o any_o figure_n whatsoever_o withal_o be_v sure_a to_o use_v your_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o make_v thing_n of_o a_o answerable_a and_o equal_a proportion_n and_o bigness_n according_a to_o art_n that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o to_o make_v a_o leg_n or_o a_o arm_n or_o any_o other_o joint_a not_o of_o a_o equal_a and_o suitable_a bigness_n but_o to_o make_v one_o big_a than_o the_o other_o therefore_o observe_v to_o make_v all_o the_o joint_n of_o a_o equal_a bigness_n both_o of_o bigness_n length_n and_o breadth_n but_o according_a to_o proportion_n but_o
