Dit selvighe is oock veele Schilders wedervaeren; als Aristomenes, Thesius, Polycles, Atramisonus, Nicomachus en verscheyden andere. Want alhoewel het hun aen naerstigheyd, vernuft, en Konst-oeffeningh niet en schorte, nochtans bleven sy verdonckert, en wierden altijd door haere armoede, ramp-spoed, en door d’eensijdighe gunste van eenen hoop partijdighe oordelen in haeren achtbaerheyd verkort wanneer sy met eenighe andere Konstenaers den strijd aenvinghen.

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Many Painters have experienced the same; like Aristomenes, Thesius, Polycles Atramisonus, Nicomachus and many others. Because although they did not lack diligence, resourcefulness and Art-practice, yet they were overshadowed, and were always shortened in their respectability by their poverty, misfortune, and by the one-sided favor of many prejudiced judgements, when they set out competition with any other Artist.
