Quotation
Insonderheyt heeft dit seer sterck sijnen voortganck beginnen te nemen, soo wanneer als het gelt, eer, ende rijcke belooningh sijn kracht omtrent de Konstenaers heeft beginnen te Oeffenen, want de Gout-sucht heeft al van outs her den toom van Deught en Ondeught in sijn gewelt gehad; {Konsten worden voornamelijck door belooningh op gequeeckt.}
[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] This especially started to take its shape stronger when money, honour and a rich reward started to practise its power on the Artists, because the gold fever has always had the limits of Virtue and Vice in its power; {The arts are mainly cultivated through reward.}

Nu gelijck de Schilder-Konst heeft toegenomen soo langh de mildtheyt ende rijcke belooningh der Grooten, de neerstigheydt der eergierige aenqueeckte om eenen onsterfelijcken naem te verkrijgen, wetende dat indien sy die konden bereycken het haer aen geen winste ontbreecken souden; {Soo langh de rijcke belooning duerde, was de Schilder-konst aen ’t bloeyen.} soo heeft sy in tegendeel wederom beginnen af te nemen soo dra de Gelt-Liefde, de Liefde tot de Konst, uyt de herten der mogende Coningen en Vorsten begonde te weeren, waer door aenstonts, de groote Meesters verminderden, en daer was by na niemant die de Konsten de handt boven ’t hooft hieldt;
[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Since the Art of Painting has increased as long as the kindness and rich reward of the Great has stimulated the diligence of the ambitious [men] to receive an immortal name, knowing that if they would manage to get it they would not miss out on profit; {As long as the rich reward lasted, the Art of Painting was flourishing.} to the contrary, she has again started to decline as soon as the Love of Money, started to push the Love for the Art out of the hearts of powerful Kings and Rulers, because of which the great Masters diminished, and there was almost nobody who took care of the Arts;
