apelles_n picture_n who_o do_v yet_o like_o a_o workman_n in_o that_o he_o reprove_v the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o thing_n belong_v to_o his_o own_o skill_n but_o can_v not_o take_v the_o pencil_n and_o reform_v it_o if_o a_o painter_n have_v find_v the_o fault_n and_o can_v mend_v the_o same_o there_o be_v his_o praise_n and_o he_o do_v well_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o find_v a_o fault_n and_o

so_o in_o courtesy_n in_o your_o own_o know_a quarter_n reform_v the_o error_n or_o inform_v i_o of_o they_o for_o howsoever_o i_o may_v little_o regard_v the_o unprofitable_a reproof_n of_o common_a
