De vier eerste hoofd-stucken wierden so wel in d’enckele Schilderye van een figure waer ghenomen, als in de veelvoudighe Schilderye die uyt vele figuren bestond; De Dispositie daerenteghen plaght allermeest in de veelvoudighe Schilderyen plaets te hebben; aenghesien veele ende verscheydene figuren die hobbel tobbel in een stuck achtelooslick opghehoopt worden, anders niet en schijnen te wesen dan een donckere doode verwarringhe van ettelicke qualick over-een-stemmende dingen die licht noch leven in sich hebben, tot datse door de schickingh-Konst in haere rechte plaetse bequaemelick ende ordentelick ghestelt sijn.

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] The first four chief principles are seen in both the single Painting of one figure and in the multiple Painting that consists of many figures; The Disposition on the other hand tends to take place the most in the multiple Paintings; seen that many and different figures that are thoughtlessly piled up messily in a piece, appear to be nothing but a dark dead confusion of several poorly equivalent things that have light nor life in them, until they have been placed competently and properly in their right place by means of the Art of arrangement.

This type of painting is described as 'plurium figurarum tabula' in the 1637 Latin edition and as 'pictures that had many figures' in the English edition (1638). [MO]
