Ten vierden moet een Schilder oock seer wel de Anatomie, ofte de uyt en inwendige gestalte, ende verdeelinge van ’s Menschen beeldt verstaen: {Oock in de Menschkunde of Anatomie ervaren weten.} Hy moet daer van weten de juyste proportioneele Natuer-maet, en ontledinge van yder deel ten opsicht van ’t geheel, gewicht en tegen-gewicht in ’t bewegen. Veranderlijckheydt van alle soo natuerlijke als gemaeckte Actien, gelijck daer zijn gaende, staende, sprekende, wijsende, loopende, springende, werpende, torssende, treckende, staende, buckende ende andere ontelbare doeningen meer. Hoe die bewegingh door de Musculen of Spieren {Musculen.} worden uytgevoert, en hoe die van gedaente en bysonder gebruyck zijn, waerse in dese of gene Actie het meeste gewelt doen, ende sich sien laten.

[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Fourthly a Painter should also understand the Anatomy very well, or the external and internal posture and distribution of the Human figure: {Should also be experienced in the Anatomy.} From this he should know the right proportional size in Nature, and the analysis of every part in regard to the whole, the weight and counter-weight in its movement. The variability of all natural and composed Actions, as for example going, standing, speaking, pointing, walking, jumping, throwing, carrying, pulling, standing, bowing and countless other actions. How this movement is carried out by the Muscles {Muscles.}, and how these are in appearance and specific use, where they put the most effort in one or another Action, and show themselves.
