Wat het woord Analogie belanght, eenighe hebben ’t woord analogie, seght A. Gellius {Noct. Attic. Lib. ii. Cap.24.}, in ’t Latijn Proportie ghenaemt. Soo schijnt oock den gheleerden Quintilianus de selvighe benaeminghe niet quaed te vinden; die ’t woord Analogie nu onlanghs uyt het Griecksch in ’t Latijn hebben overgeset, seght hy {Lib. L. orat. instit. Cap.6.}, noemen ’t een Proportie. (...) Ten eynde dan dat wy ons selven niet al te langhe met een al te sinnelicke oversettinghe van dese dry woorden souden bekommeren, soo sullen wy ’t hier by laeten blijven, dit maer alleenlick daer by voeghende, dat de Schilder-konstenaers dese woorden Analogie ende Harmonie schijnen ontleent te hebben van die Proportie dewelcke by de Tel-konstenaers en de Singh-konstenaers wordt waerghenomen; want dese Analogie ofte Proportie en is anders niet dan een sekere ghetal-wet, nae welckers voorschrift de Konstenaers alle haere wercken aenstellen.

T: […] Hierom behooren wy niet al te voortvaarende in onze loffelyke oeffening te weezen, en ons niet laaten vervoeren, om straks het einde daar van te zien; Maar wy moeten bedacht, voorzichtig, en te gelyk bezorgt zyn, alzo dat de Naarstigheid, met de rypigheid vermengt zynde, gesteld worde tusschen traagheid en rassigheid: Waar uit dan een prysselyke Naarstigheid voortkomt. Daarom zegt Aulus Gellius zeer wel, om een Zaak wel uit te voeren, moet by de snelle naarstigheid, de traage vlytigheid gevoegt worden.

Quotation

T: […] Hierom behooren wy niet al te voortvaarende in onze loffelyke oeffening te weezen, en ons niet laaten vervoeren, om straks het einde daar van te zien; Maar wy moeten bedacht, voorzichtig, en te gelyk bezorgt zyn, alzo dat de Naarstigheid, met de rypigheid vermengt zynde, gesteld worde tusschen traagheid en rassigheid: Waar uit dan een prysselyke Naarstigheid voortkomt. Daarom zegt Aulus Gellius zeer wel, om een Zaak wel uit te voeren, moet by de snelle naarstigheid, de traage vlytigheid gevoegt worden.
