Ende ghelijck de Lichaemen dewelcke overal met ooghen beset syn, de schoonheydt van d'andere leden verdonckeren, soo verdooven oock de huydens-daeghsche Konstenaers den luster haerer Schilderyen met al te vele oppronckens.

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] And like Bodies which are covered everywhere with eyes, darken the beauty of the other members, as such the contemporary Artists weaken the splendor of their paintings with too much ostentation.

[...] even alsoo plaghten dieghene scherper te oordeelen, dewelcke daer toe versocht worden; sy vereyschen de waere kracht der Konste, sonder nae ’t uyterlicke opproncksel ende ick en wete niet wat voor aentreckelicke nieuwigheden om te sien; soo ghebeurt het oock doorgaens henen dat een naukeurigh oordeeler de gebreken van stonden aen meteen halve ooghe weet uyt te vinden; en wat daer erghens in ’t werck misprijselick is, plaght met eenen oock den luster van de prijs-waerdighe dinghen te verdonckeren; voornamelick in die Konsten, dewelcke niet soo seer tot noodsaeckelick ghebruyck gheoeffent worden, als tot enckel vermaeck van onse curieuse nieus-ghierige sinnen.

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] …similarly, those tend to judge more sharply, who are asked to do so; they demand the true power of Art, without paying attention to the external embellishments and I do not know what kind of attractive novelties; as such it also commonly happens that a precise judge can immediately spot the flaws in the blink of an eye; and that which is to be disapproved somewhat in the work, tends to simultaneously darken the delight of praiseworthy things; mainly in those Arts, which are not so much practiced for necessary use, but rather for the sole entertainment of our curious inquisitive spirits.
