awry 8 Take notice of the bowings and bendings that are in the body to make that part that is opposite to that which bends to answer to it in bending with it as if one side of the body bend in the other side must stand out answerable to the bending in of the other side if the back bend out the belly must bend in if the belly come in the back must stick out if the breech stick out the thigh that answers to it in opposition must come in so also in any other part of the body as if the knee bend out the hams that answer to it must come in and so for any other Ioynts in the body this rule must be exactly observed otherwise the body will be made grosly and absurdly and will be very gowty without any proportion 9 Indeavour to make all things of an equall proportion and bignes not to make one arme bigger then the other or one leg bigger then the other or one breast bigger then the other or any one part of the body in an unIust proportion but as every thing must answer to the bignes of the face so one member must answer to another in bignes that so there may be a sweet harmony in the parts of the body that it may not have broad shoulders and a thin slender waste a raw-bone arme and a thick gowty leg or any part disproportionable from the other unlesse it be so that any part of the body doth turne awry from our eye as if the one arme should be seen side-wayes and the other fore-right then the one arme must be made so much less then the other by how much it turns away from our sight and appears lesse to our eyes and so if one legg be seen full or fore-right and the other legg be seen side-wayes then it must be made so much lesse then the other by how much it turnes away from your sight The proportion of a woman to be seene afore The Proportion measure of a woman to be seene afore is like the 〈◊〉 excepting that that measure of the breadth betwene the shoulders of the woman 〈◊〉 but 2 lengths of thē face as appeares by that pricked line athwart the breasts and from that Hippes to the 〈◊〉 2 lengths of the head marked with an other crosse pricked line which maketh the difference betwene the man that Woman and you must make the Armes Thighes Legges fatter and plumper then that mans euen to that wrists 〈◊〉 Allso you must not make that muscles as of that man The Whole figure of Mans body foreshortened a litle seene by the Sole of the Foot the Back upwards Having 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 at length by the Syde the back upwards You must also observe the measures as 〈◊〉 in the levell 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 23. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. and 〈◊〉 up the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and proportions by the 〈◊〉 lynes vpon the perpendicular which 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 figure and the Shadow of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to make the figure of the Shadow you 〈◊〉 draw a Lyne 〈◊〉 in 〈◊〉 midse of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 therin 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 measures marked 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
