[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] As such we also recognize that it is not possible to learn everything exhaustively by means of the rules, and that one should therefore make use of the life in many cases: but as it frequently happens that one cannot obtain the life at that moment when it is needed, one should be diligent to make models of all things in the course of time, {How one should attempt to model many things.} […] One should especially grab his chances with regard to the exotic things, {And which specifically.} […] and sometimes are also needed to apply to his Inventions; therefore one should obtain these in different views and situations. Take good care to apply these Masterly and not in a Childish way.

[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Above all a Masterly Painter should also, if he wants to keep his good name, be very thoughtful and careful in all his behavior, especially with regard to his Inventions and the way he brings together the composition of his Histories, so that he would not only avoid to bring forth impossible things or those that go against Art; {A painter has to be careful and thoughtful.} but that in no case he would make things, about which the people to whom they belong or others who see them, would get a bad explanation from them, or also give cause for taunting outside the Intention of the Painter. Therefore one should always ascertain himself well of the meaning and truth of his plan, that it is based on a good opinion and an explanation consisting of reason.

[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] As soon as one understands the meaning of this Example well, one will accustom oneself to observe it and (after a certain period) be able to apply with knowledge the aforementioned looseness to his Drawing; in order for you to acquire a pleasant manner and Masterly handling through it. It is to be remarked, that all of this is not applicable to all manners of Drawing, as the rough and sketch-like Drawing, exists mainly of lines and contours, although the looseness and carelessness can also provide great advantage there, when it is applied wisely and at the right place.
