Daer is oock noch een ander middel, waer door den Schilder hem selven een Vermaerde Naem kan maecken: Namentlijck dat hy somtijts, tijt en vlijt daer toe aenwent, om eenige van sijn beste ordinantien en teyckeningen in print uyt te geven: {Datmen sich door Printen uyt te geven kan in naem brengen.} Want vermits die de geheele Werelt door-wandelen, en in alle Liefhebbers handen komen, en dat de Schilderyen meest altijt maer in eene plaets blijven, soo is licht af te nemen dat men door eenige Print-Konst in de Wereldt te brengen, meerder bekent kan worden.
[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] There is also another way, by which the Painter can make a Famous Name for himself: Namely that he sometimes, uses time and effort to publish some of his best composition and drawings in print: {That one can make a name for himself by publishing Prints.} Because these spread all over the world, and come into the hands of all Amateurs, and paintings usually always stay in one place, it is easy to conclude that one can become more famous by bringing some Prints into the World.
