<p>Firstly will each one of the actions in Fencing be divided into three parts which are particularly good to note. Attacking, following after, withdrawal or ending, then to the first in the onset send your attacks through the guards and cuts like they follow afterwards here, however to the other parts and the middle work, this will be reprinted with the handworks, and a mixture of convenient cuts.

<p>Firstly will each one of the actions in Fencing be divided into three parts which are particularly good to note. In the Sword this is namely attacking, followed by the withdrawal or other than to the first to reach it, send your attacks through the guards and cut like they follow afterwards here, however to the other parts and the middle work, this will be reprinted with the handworks, and a mixture of convenient cuts. Onwards to the last, or the withdrawal, how orderly each one will hereafter be diligently written and taught.</p>

| <p><small>[2]</small> Further, you should note the Before and After, Weak and Strong. The Before is when you drive with your ''Stücken'' so that he cannot come to his senses, especially by positioning yourself as close as he is, and how he defends before your ''Stücken'' and these same wants to break and bar, with this, he runs off the Before to you. The After is, when you have been rushed upon by your opponent how it is reported above. Thus you should respond ''Indes'' quickly with convenient work, with this, you are strongest on his ''Stücken'', when you go on with your work in the Before, and in this you are crowded so that you must displace him After, thus is a constant changing with the Before and After, now you have it, then he does, but he who does not pay attention to it, he will never learn to fence.</p>

| <p><small>[12]</small> '''Of the 4 Guards'''</p>

<p>First of all, the ancients not only used the 4 guards for good in attacking, but also hid our so-called fencing summarily in them, that namely they had told and intended with all high guards the cuts from above. With the Fool, however, all cuts from below were therefore called Fool, because all things from below are to be regarded as contrary to what comes from above. They have therefore composed their whole fencing in two cuts namely from above and from below so that no cut can be thrown, for it must be from above or from below and even if one cuts a Middle or Thwart Strike, then that cut still has a common name with the High or Low Cut, then just as no Middle Cut can be made, unless it will go somewhat from below or above. So by the Ox and the Plow they intended the thrust, that is, the upper and lower thrust, which, however, in our present time is not in the fencing for several reasons, I will then save Oxen and Plow together with the thrusts until the rapier, where I will then extensively cover it.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[14]</small> '''Wrath Cut'''</p>

<p>Wrath Cut is done thus, when you are in ''Zufechten'', then come in the Ox or take the sword onto the right shoulder so that the left foot stands forth, step and cut with the long edge from the right diagonally to his left whether to the head or body.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 002v.jpg|3|lbl=2v.3}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[15]</small> '''Crooked Cut'''</p>

<p>Stand with the left foot forward, hold the sword to the right, if one cuts at your opening from above, then step with your right foot well out from his strike to his left side, and cut Crooked ''Indes'' with crossed arms between his sword and head with the long edge to his arm.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[16]</small> '''Thwart Cut'''</p>

<p>Stand how it is described above and hold the sword to the right like before, if one cuts at you from above then step and cut with the short edge to his strike so that the hands are high and point hangs slightly downwards and the thumb is placed under the shield.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003r.jpg|2|lbl=3r.2}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[17]</small> '''Scalp Cut'''</p>

<p>The Scalp Cut is a straight cut from above to the head.</p>

| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[18]</small> '''Squinter Cut'''</p>

<p>In the ''Zufechten'' come as described before and hold the sword as described before, if one cuts at you then step and cut in with crossed hands from above simultaneously with him like all things from the Crooked Cut are told.</p>

| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003r.jpg|4|lbl=3r.4}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[19]</small> '''Scalper'''</p>

<p>Is done thusly, stand in the Ox like the figure of the Ox shows and cut from below with the half edge through the scalp line so that the weapon flies upwards into the Roof Guard.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003v.jpg|1|lbl=3v.1}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[20]</small> '''Blind Cut'''</p>

<p>In ''Zufechten'' come into the right Plow, instantly step and heave the hands upwards to the hanging on the right side, threaten him to the right with the haft, instantly flick with the flat and crossed hands to his left ear.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003v.jpg|2|lbl=3v.2}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[21]</small> '''Rebound Cut'''</p>

<p>So, in the ''Zufechten'' come into the right Ox, instantly pull the sword around the head step and cut with the inside flat horizontally onto his sword, allow the hands to rebound and strike in again with the flat overhand.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003v.jpg|3|lbl=3v.3}}

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[22]</small> '''Short Cut'''</p>

<p>So, stand with the right foot forward in Hanging Point, pull upwards and around your head and cut with the short edge from your lower left to his right ear or arm, in the strike your thumb shall face up.</p>

| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 003v.jpg|4|lbl=3v.4}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[23]</small> '''Wrist Cut'''</p>

<p>Item: If one stands in Speak Window and the other is too, or otherwise comes high so that his blade hangs down to the lower left, then cut with a horizontal strike up from below between the pommel or behind the pommel to the hands.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004r.jpg|1|lbl=4r.1}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[24]</small> '''Clash Cut'''</p>

<p>In the ''Zufechten'' go with your sword through the Ox, step and strike overhand with the flat to his left ear so that your half edge slides downwards to his right shoulder.<ref>Note: this translation could be interpreted to mean “so that your half edge slides downward [presumably on his blade], hitting his right shoulder”. Meyer used the words ''mit Glitschen = to slither, to slide, to glide, to move with sliding.</ref></p>

| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[25]</small> '''Winding Cut'''</p>

<p>If one stands before you with outstretched arms in the Long Point, then come in the ''Zufechten'' with the right foot forward, the sword in Hanging Point. Instantly pull around the head and cut with the long edge from the left outside and over his right arm so that your sword appears to swing between his head and sword to his left shoulder, pull back around again to the horizontal cut or Long Point.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[26]</small> '''Middle or handworks in the following after'''</p>

<p>Binding on may have no other explanation than that every fencer knows well when the swords come together and have bound.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004v.jpg|1|lbl=4v.1}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[27]</small> '''Remaining'''</p>

<p>Is thus understood when one cuts into an opening with the long edge and at once would pull back to himself as if to cut to another opening, but does not, and instead cuts again with the short edge on the same line, that is called remaining, when one remains with cutting on one opening.</p>

<p>Item: One remains in the binding of the swords and waits on the next action until he gets his opportunity to work further.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004v.jpg|2|lbl=4v.2}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[28]</small> '''Slicing'''</p>

<p>If one has bound on to your sword’s blade, then note when he strikes around and goes away from your sword, then slice him strongly with the long edge to his arm, there are four slices; two from above, from below and to both sides.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004v.jpg|3|lbl=4v.3}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[29]</small> '''Cutting around'''</p>

<p>Is when one cuts around to another opening from the bind.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004v.jpg|4|lbl=4v.4}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[30]</small> '''Chasing after'''</p>

<p>Chasing after is following after his sword to the next opening, so namely of this you should know, when one cuts from above at you, and in the meantime draws up his sword for the strike then you hurry in before he fully springs his stroke, the work is rather good against those who strike around widely.</p>
| 
| 
{{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 004v.jpg|5|lbl=4v.5|p=1}} {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|1|lbl=5r.1|p=1}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[31]</small> '''Snapping around'''</p>

<p>Note: When one has bound on your sword, and is hard in the bind, then let your sword fall down below you, then instantly heave your bind upwards and snap around to another opening.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|2|lbl=5r.2}}

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[32]</small> '''Running off'''</p>

<p>Running off is when I allow it to run off to one side or another and is self explanatory.</p>

| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|3|lbl=5r.3}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[33]</small> '''Doubling'''</p>

<p>Doubling is when you allow it once or twice to run off, and also to double.</p>

<p>Item: One cut done twice or doubled, thus in the approach I cut from my right to his left ear, once it clashes I take it away again, to my right and cut once again inside and halfway through, allowing it to snap in again.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|4|lbl=5r.4}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[34]</small> '''Deceiving'''</p>

<p>That is when you look at an opening and make as if you would cut there, but you don’t and instead cut somewhere else, this is the second Squinter with the face.</p>

<p>Item: The fencer who will willingly parry, or slice away, so there you should work quickly with failing, flying around, circling or looping, so he does not know where to go and gets lost.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|5|lbl=5r.5}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[35]</small> '''Flying'''</p>

<p>Note when you have cut in to an opening, once it touches then pull around your head in a flight in the air to the next opening, if he slips in after then do not allow it to touch but rather let it fly from one opening to another until you have an opening, or otherwise come to comparable work.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005v.jpg|1|lbl=5v.1}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[36]</small> '''Failing'''</p>

<p>In the approach cut him to an opening, once you note that he will parry, then do not allow it to touch, rather allow it to fail, run off and cut instantly to another opening.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005v.jpg|2|lbl=5v.2}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[37]</small> '''Circling'''</p>

<p>Thus you stand before one in the Speak window, then cut from above with the half edge and crossed arms and fail (with it) beside his right ear, in the failing, cut again with the long edge to the same target, namely his right ear.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005v.jpg|3|lbl=5v.3}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[38]</small> '''Looping'''</p>

<p>Looping is when one jerks back from an opening in a swing and in the air lets it run off one time, and from this running off cuts in there again to both sides with a flight above the head.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005v.jpg|4|lbl=5v.4}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[39]</small> '''Winding'''</p>

<p>When you have bound with him, then remain with the edge on his blade, turn the half edge inwards to his head.</p>

</p>Item: When you have thus wound in with the half edge then turn with the pommel again out to the other side upwards and wind the half edge outwards to his head from below through the horizontal.</p>
|

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[40]</small> '''Winding through'''</p>

<p>When you have cut at him with a Wrath Cut, and when it clashes wind with the hilt down through, instantly reach over with the pommel above his blade or arms and wrench downwards or work further to your favor.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 005r.jpg|2|lbl=6r.2}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[41]</small> '''Reversing'''</p>

<p>Reversing is when two have bound together and in the bind, one thrusts his pommel through below his right arm, thus he comes with his hands crossed over both his arms, or one comes with the half edge on the other, so that you can constrain him or allow it to run through.</p>
| 
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 006r.jpg|3|lbl=6r.3}}
| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[42]</small> '''Changing - Changing through'''</p>

<p>Change belongs to the fencers who cut to the sword and not to the body. the same, one should change through, so when you note that he wants to meet your oncoming strike, then jerk and cut to the other side, that is called Changing.</p>

<p>Item: Act as if you would cut at him from above, but don’t do it, instead... drive down through to the other side, to the next opening.</p>

| 

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[43]</small> '''Running over'''</p>

<p>Running over works from the low cuts, when one will cut at you from below, then fall on it from above with the long edge, as soon as he drives out from you to defend, then let your cut run over and work to the next opening from which he came.</p>
|

<p>First, the man is divided into two parts namely left and right as shown by the (vertical) line in the above figure<ref>Note: The Lund also mentions “the figure above” yet that figure does not appear in the Lund! Here it does, and it could be a representation of Meyer himself?</ref> from above to below but then into two parts namely in the lower and upper, which the two upper parts are divided in the Ox the other two to the Plow.</p>
| <p><small>[12]</small> '''From the Four Openings and Divisions'''<br/><br/></p>

<p>Firstly will the opponent be divided in two sections, namely left and right, how the lines in the figure above is shown, thereafter in two more divisions namely under and over, the above two openings would be the Ox, to divide the under two, the Plow.</p>

| <p><small>[57]</small> First, notice to which opening he leads his sword, lower or upper, to the right or to the left, and when you have seen that, then attack it as soon as possible, be it to an upper opening or elsewhere, of this, take an example.</p>
| <p><small>[13]</small> Whose use one should thus firstly note, in which division he leads his sword under or above, to the right or the left/ when you have seen that, thus attack against him at once from above, it is about the location, otherwise, take a general example of this:</p>

| 
| <p><small>[58]</small> In the Onset when you both come together and you see that he holds his sword to his upper right, whether it is in the Ox or Wrath Cut, then attack to his left lower opening, not with the intent to hit, but rather to incite him to meet you, as soon as it clashes or touches, then pull around your head and strike above to the opening from which he came, namely to his right ear with the half edge and crossed hands, that is the correct Squinting Cut.</p>
| <p><small>[14]</small> In ''Zufechten'', thus both of you have come together, and you see that he leads his sword to his right in the high opening, in Ox or Wrath Guard, thus attack in to his lower left opening, if not, then it is much more important that you provoke him to meet you. As soon as this clashes, or will, thus pull around your head and strike him high to the opening from which he came. This is namely to his right ear, with the half edge and crossed hands. This is the correct Squinting Cut.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[59]</small> '''Another'''</p>

<p>In the ''Zufechten'' when the opponent holds his sword on the left, then go through before him from your right, and cut with strength to his right. As soon as he slips after the strike, then pull in a loop to the left opening, if he slips after it again, then let it fly back around, thus going from one opening to the other, crosswise and against each other according to opportunity. Every fighter should be accustomed to be promptly heedful in all hits, from whichever opening the cut has come, instantly to follow after there. And before I conclude I will add the teaching concerning parrying. It is written in the ancient ''Zedel'', "Who often parries is often hit".</p>
| <p><small>[15]</small> '''Another'''</p>

<p>Thus when one holds his sword to the left in ''Zufechten'', then go through before him from your right and cut with strength to his right, as soon as he swipes after to the strike thus pull a looping to the left opening, if he swipes after this, however, thus allow it to fly around again, thus drive each opening to the other, crosswise and against one another after your opportunity.</p>

<p>It is every fencer's [desire] that he quickly knows from all strikes, to which opening the cut is coming, ''Indes'' quickly there and follow after, if I however can decide, then I want to instruct about the displacing upwards in hanging.</p>

<p>It is stated in the ancient Verses, who often displaces, will often be injured.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[60]</small> Item: Liechtenauer says in his secret words "Guard yourself against parrying, if need befalls you it will hurt you". Therefore every fighter should be accustomed to be the first to attack and finish, then if every fighter is accustomed to watch and wait for another, this same rarely comes away without harm, or at the least does not achieve very much. A proper fighter however does not parry much unless he has a great advantage. And when the opponent strikes so he strikes too, if the opponent thrusts then he thrusts too, if the opponent steps, he steps also. For when two like strokes come together, they bring their parrying with them, and when someone cuts from above and you cut against it with a Thwart, then you parry and hit at the same time. Likewise you shall pay attention to simultaneous cutting and take good heed of your advantage in it. Therefore, every fencer should know that he should quickly consider, as mentioned above, when two good fencers come together, which I consider is the same as shown before.<ref>Note: here I have included this line for clarity from Dr. Forgeng’s 1568 Lund translation: “Therefore every fighter shall know as has been said above, for when two good fighters come together, whoever thinks quicker triumphs quicker.”</ref></p>
| <p><small>[16]</small> '''Item''' Liechtenauer said in his secret verses, that "displacing hurts you, if you wish it on yourself", therefore shall every fencer know that he is to be the first with attacking and following, then to every fencer that is known to watch and wait on another, from this he shall come to no harm, or at the least, if he does not fight much.</p>

<p>A proper fencer, who does not displace much, will have the greatest advantage. Thus, when he strikes you also strike, when he thrusts you also thrust, when he steps you also step. Where two equal strikes come together, thus they bring you to displacing, when however one will cut from above, and then next he goes against with a Thwart, thus he sets off, and steps with one another, thus simultaneously should one have a step out, with the same cut and therein with advantage also pay attention to his openings. Thus should every fencer know that he is soon attentive how it is also shown above, that where two good fencers have come together, which I have attentively married together in the illustrations.</p>

| 
| 
| <p><small>[61]</small> Thus I have briefly summarized and presented sword fencing and all needful techniques, and also explained the somewhat obscure words in part, and thereafter integrated them into an attack combination, dividing it into three parts, namely (as I said initially) the beginning or attack, the followup or middle-work, the last withdrawal or end. So that you may understand it better I will repeat briefly, as follows: for the attack I have presented the guards, in which you should not tarry and wait, but through which you should attack to the uttermost with one or two of the described cuts according to opportunity. Now when you have attacked and the Before has run off from you, then in the second part you shall follow up with all kinds of proper handworks, so you keep the Before, these handworks are also presented above. Thirdly you should crowd and confine him with handworks so that you can come to the withdrawal without harm.</p>
| <p><small>[17]</small> Thus have I put forth a short and summary knowledge of sword-fighting and all noteworthy ''Stücken'' and also the translations of which the divisions that are obscured, are clarified in measure and thereafter it enters and then next goes in three divisions, namely how it was previously reported, Onset or Attacking, Pressing After or the middle work, the last is to Withdraw or end and therefore so that one may better understand I will shortly reiterate.</p>

<p>Thus, to the attacks have I put forth the guards in which one should not delay, or wait in them, but rather as a result must your necessary courage with whose reported cuts, go once or twice to your opportunity, so that he must then engage and that the Before has escaped Him, thus to another opening should one work after with various offensive handworks, beholding with the Before, as such handworks are stated above as a three in one handwork, thus to crowd and close so that one may come to the withdraw without shame.</p>

| 
| <p><small>[62]</small> '''Of this I will give an example'''</p>

<p>When someone fights against you from the Roof Guard, then come in the ''Zufechten'' into the Side Guard, you shall not wait there longer than until he pulls up his sword for the stroke, as soon as he brings his sword up in the air, then meet him with a Thwart Strike, once it clashes, then cut quickly again back around with a long Thwart to the other side on his sword, that is the Attack. If he strikes around, then slice after, if he parries, then deceive him, if he escapes then chase him, if he is hard then you are soft, if he strikes then counter it, if he parries then strike. Thirdly, also pay attention instantly for your opportunity to withdraw.</p>
| <p><small>[18]</small> '''Of this, I will give an example'''</p>

<p>If one fights against you in the guard of the Roof, thus you come in ''Zufechten'' into the Side Guard, you must above all not wait in that long, then when he bears witness to the strike and as soon as he brings his sword into the air, thus lay on against him with a Thwart strike, instantly as it clashes, thus cut quickly again around with the long Thwart, to the other side of his sword, that is now attacking, if he strikes around, thus you cut after, if he displaces, then deceive him with the weak, so that you cut him in the After.</p>

<p>If he is hard thus you are soft<br/>If he cuts, so you counter,<br/>If he displaces, then you cut</p>

<p>Thirdly; also have instant attention for your opportunity to Withdraw.</p>

<p>First of all, there are the guards, of which there are six, which are not made to be waited in, as mentioned above in part, but rather for the sake of division, so that one knows how to distinguish one from the other, when one fights from Steer, he should or must use the usual cut and ''Stuck'' that are assigned to the Steer, if one wants to fence with someone, he shall take care of which or by which part he fights against him, so that he may know with which cut or ''Stuck'' he should attack him most effectively, so that he may deprive him of the Before, because the fencers who carelessly strike their blows and ''Stucke'' are soon hit and usually have to go away with damage.</p>

But rather has more divisions there with one knows One from the other to distinguish, namely thus, when one fights from the Steer, he will generally use such Strikes and ''Stücken'', that are assigned to the Steer therefore he who will fight with them, thus should he pay attention from which or through which division he goes against in fighting, thus that he may know best, with what cuts or ''Stücken'' he should lay on against him, in that he in the Before runs off, then your fighting and your cuts to him and techniques will be correctly cut in and soon put, it must usually give way to harm.</p>

And you should yourself not mistake that more than four are known. Steer, Watch, Wrath whose names spring from their intentions and take this first as not only an example, I Hold my weapon above, prepared to strike over my head, that the point is behind me, which I call the Watch, not that he is always in Ox, but rather because my plan is to have prepared or ready strikes and pay attention and watch where he will give cuts to me, then be very ready to cut into the openings, thus I would like to say he who stays in Ox, holds good watch.</p>

Of this I'll give an example, when I stand before someone in the same work, and cannot at all come to his openings, then I strike in strongly to him from above with a Knocking Cut, not so that I would hit, but so that I would attack him and provoke him to cut so that he would then open up for me, and give me room for the opening, and although it is a High Cut, the cut is still called the Knocking Cut, because my intent is only to knock onto him to see whether he will open up for me.<ref>The above text appears somewhat synonymous with pages 44-45 of the Lund Dussack section, except that in the Lund Meyer says there are 12 cuts and yet here he says there are 16.</ref></p>
| <p><small>[4]</small> Next are the cuts, which even if I would set forth and report to you, of all twelve, yet there are still not more than four main cuts, from which the others all have sprung from, namely, first the High Cut, second the Wrath Cut, third the Middle Cut, and the fourth an Low Cut, than slashing or Crooked so that no one can make cuts, or cut him usefully either from above, or diagonally, Item athwart, or bring from under, thus there are many kinds of names and alterations to the cuts, hence, so named that quite a few are carried out during the cuts, for example, thus I stand before one in the same work, and can't come at all to the openings, thus I cut strongly from above a Knock Strike not that I intend to hit or strike through but rather that I crash on to him and wrench into a cut and with this he will also do this to me, and would thus give room to the openings, from which a High Cut comes nicely. This cut has the name Knock Cut, therefore that my naming this is only about the clashing on that is to be done.</p>

The sooner you catch him in the air, or a Middle Cut in the distance, or an Low Cut down low, the less strength his cut has, but the further his hand gets with the cut, the stronger he is.

<p>First of all, there are seven cuts in the rapier. Namely the first one is a High Cut, the second is a Shoulder Cut, the third a Hip Cut, the fourth a Thigh Cut, the fifth a Foot Cut, the sixth a Joint Cut, the seventh a Forearm Cut, and yet the four remain as taught in the Dussack only the names of the limbs increase the number of the cuts.</p>

|- 
| 
| 
| <p><small>[3]</small> '''Of the Openings'''</p>

<p>In rapier fencing, special attention is to be paid to the four parts of the man. Namely to the left and right, lower and upper, the belt (line) and the two (openings) above the belt line known as the Ox, and the other two below the belt line are known as the Plow, whose thrusts therefore should be used. In ''Zufechten'' pay attention to which part he has his weapon, below or above, or from which opening he brings his strikes or thrusts.</p>

<p>Next, pay attention to which openings you may conveniently attack to, so note an example, if the opponent has his weapon in his upper right opening, then work to his lower left openings with cuts or thrusts, with this you compel him to either work or defend, so then thrust to his upper right opening.</p>

| <p><small>[4]</small> Item: If he has his weapon in his upper left opening, then thrust him to the right, as soon as he parries, then wind under and through to the left opening from where he has just come from, furthermore, if one holds his weapon in a guard to the upper or lower openings, then cut or thrust him straight from above to the face so that he must defend, as soon as he drives out to parry, then wind underneath and through, and thrust at once from below to his body or hip.</p>

<p>Iron Gate has six displacements, suppressing, cutting off, going through, setting off, hanging, taking out with half edge.</p>

<p>Longpoint has three displacements cutting off, setting off, suppressing.

<p>Plow: from the Plow may you set off, simultaneously strike, take out, opening strike, double thrust, single thrust, deceptive thrust.</p>

| <p><small>[74]</small> '''The First Rule'''</p>

<p>Item: If one angrily runs over you with a High Cut, then cut his strike away from you with a diagonal Wrath Cut, close to his Strong, with it you break his grip on his weapon and hand, so that you can then easily cut to another opening before he regains the grip on his weapon, note however in this strike you must step well after once you find that you have weakened his weapon and quickly cut after, pull quickly above you to displace, so that it can't get any better and thrust from you. Then if one strikes at you with a Wrath or Middle Cut, then jump well out from his strike and cut him with a strong Suppressing Cut from above and also on his Strong, quickly jerk your hilt above you, and strike to the next opening, if he cuts at you from below then cut thereafter likewise from above, and once it clashes and he jerks his hilt back upwards to strike, then cut after instantly from below or follow him from below with a thrust to the opening.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 065r.jpg|1|lbl=65r.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[75]</small> '''The Second Rule'''</p>

<p>Item: When one will not cut at the same time as you, but waits after for your strikes, and with ease he follows after with cutting or thrusting, so do to him thus, see in which parry he waits, in the high or Low Guard he holds his weapon, if in the high then cut him diagonally from below strongly upwards, then next cut a Middle Cut from the other side through his face, the third strongly from above, so that you cut through these three cuts skillfully and strongly one after the other, if you will be displaced with his efforts, so then you go over his cut with a slice or parry, then snap with the point quickly around and thrust to the right opening or remain with your weapon on his, and once he pulls off, then thrust after or go in at him and grasp with your left to his hilt which to you can be first.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[76]</small> Item: If one will wait on your strike, which has just been mentioned, then position yourself with comportment as if you would furiously strike from above to his left, once you note that he will slip after then pull back and cut up to his lower right opening diagonally, from this way you may pull the cuts from one opening to another and with this, thrust after to your opportunity and your pleasure.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 065v.jpg|2|lbl=65v.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[77]</small> '''The Third Rule'''</p>

<p>If he holds his weapon too high in the parry, then cut him quickly through the foot and note as soon as he sinks after with his hand to your cut or too the opening, then quickly cut him over his weapon to the face or when he sinks with his hand after your strike, then thrust him over his arm to his face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 065v.jpg|3|lbl=65v.3}}

<p>Note so you must defend yourself, if one runs over you with a ''Knebelspiess'' and you only have a Rappier or other single hand weapon, then hold your weapon horizontally in front of you with the point towards the ground before your left foot, if he strikes powerfully at you, then drive above with your weapon and spring in well under his strike, bend down while springing in and keep your hand out from his strike and allow his strike to glance off on your weapon then hastily grab onto his staff with your left hand, ''Indes'' cut quickly to his hand.</p>

| <p><small>[83]</small> '''Item''' If one thrusts on you and you have your weapon like is above taught, thus drive on and set off the thrust upwards above the head, if he pulls from your displacing and thrusts again, thus wind from above out of the Ox, his other thrust, again around out from and on to your left side with a Great spring to and grab his staff like before, on this lesson, may you defend against a long pike. But such a thing is not wise to use, especially against those who will signal their Pullings, where but one is Wrathful and is pressing on you, such techniques are altogether very desirable.</p>

<p>''Balgen'' is an abridgement and the proper Core of both weapons: the Dussack and the Rappier put together, which is so understandable and properly divided and placed, that every one of the four cuts can only be cut long from you. May you well understand and usefully learn from it, whether he even taught a bad school rule, and firstly therein is taught the cuts are orderly placed, to and through the man, how the drawn lines reveal. Next then however; as such cuts are cut at you, and how you shall meet these with displacing and breaking, to the third, when he now also uses such displacing and how you should take up in that, the fourth and last part teaches, of those who run in or under.</p>

<p>Note when he does not want to cut at you, then you should also not meet him with the first strike, but rather show as if you intended to strike to him, then when he misjudges, thus translate with this same cut, it is from above or below, suppressing or cutting out. The same displacement, should one quickly cut after.</p>

| <p><small>[76]</small> However where he is not provoked with a strike to counter, thus cut a Cross through his displacement or two Middle cuts against one another so that his blade is cut away, then must he cut, as soon as he cuts, thus takeout and away his cut with a counter cut, more to his strong thus as soon as you feel that he is soft, thus cut quickly to his body before he recovers, that is below or above.</p>

| <p><small>[1]</small> '''Dagger fencing and Wrestling ''Stuck'''''</p>

<p>In dagger there are three guards, namely the High Guard and the Low Guard on both sides. The third Guard is in front of you by the forward most thigh or chest with crossed hands, or else with both hands close to each other.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067r.jpg|1|lbl=67r.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[2]</small> Item: From you there are only three thrusts, namely High, Low and Thwart thrust, however you will find seven openings, namely the back of the neck/head, the throat, armpit, hip joint, hand thrust, knee joint, and the groin how well you don't need use of all of them with the bare body, but rather in the armor with the fighting daggers.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067r.jpg|2|lbl=67r.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[3]</small> '''The first guard'''</p>

<p>Stand with your right foot forward the dagger above your head, so that the tip remains pointed out at the opponent's face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067r.jpg|3|lbl=67r.3}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[4]</small> If someone stabs at you whether from below or athwart, so thrust through from above with the ''threner''?, the next thrust in through the cross again, the third one a horizontal thrust through his left, drive with the pommel from your left again upwards, into the previously reported guard with a Driving Through.<ref>''Kelen'' = throat, ''Ancken'' = back of neck/head.</ref></p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067r.jpg|4|lbl=67r.4}}

| <p><small>[5]</small> '''The Second Guard'''</p>

<p>Note: Then stand with the left foot forward hold your dagger low beside the inside knee, the tip pointed upwards towards the opponent.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067v.jpg|1|lbl=67v.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[6]</small> Item: If one stabs from above, then thrust from below against him with a middle thrust from your right side, so that you come back again into the described guard.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 067v.jpg|2|lbl=67v.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[7]</small> '''The Third Guard'''</p>

<p>Hold your hands cross-wise one above the other in front of you, the right over the left, the dagger on the right arm, and if someone stabs at you from above, then drive up with the arms and capture the strike between your two hands on the dagger’s blade, ''Indes'' grab his right hand with your left hand and jerk him to you towards your left and stab him to the opening.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[11]</small> Item: Lay the dagger on your arm and if someone thrusts you from below then displace from above down onto the middle of the blade and drive it with the pommel to his face, so that he must defend himself, then go under his right from below and drive upwards with your left hand to take him out and stab him in the face.</p>

| <p><small>[1]</small> '''Staff fencing which is a precedent''' and root of all long weapons such as halberd, ''Schefflin Knebelspieß'' and long pike</p>

<p>The staff has four parries, namely in the binding two to both sides, in setting off and slicing off and clearing away, item: one in the middle, also to both sides. Further it has eight bindings, four bindings above and below, and in front of each hand one and two in the middle of the staff.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078r.jpg|1|lbl=78r.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[2]</small> You should also pay attention to the four parts of the staff and what goes to each of the four parts in the work, as in the first part is to the cutting and to make flying thrusts, in the middle part is the striking, simultaneous thrusting, hanging and hanging over, and in the third and fourth part the windings and the running off.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078r.jpg|2|lbl=78r.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[3]</small> '''Fencing in the forward most part (of the staff)'''</p>

<p>Item: If you bind him at his staff's furthest point with your most forward part of your staff, from your left toward his right, then yank the staff out to the right side but do not fall too far from his staff, rather thrust this yank quickly back to his face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078v.jpg|1|lbl=78v.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[4]</small> Yank the staff out as before, and thrust as before, as soon as he wants to parry the thrust so change through to the other side with the thrust.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078v.jpg|2|lbl=78v.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[5]</small> Item: Jerk the staff strongly out from him with your left hand as before, pull the staff in quickly to the other side, and with this strike see that you grab the staff again with your left hand, flit it again with your left hand to the displacement.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078v.jpg|3|lbl=78v.3}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[6]</small> Item: If you have bound with him forward on the staff so quickly pull around your head and hit him with one hand straight in from above to his head, with this strike seize the staff again with a diligence to the thrust.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 078v.jpg|4|lbl=78v.4}}

| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 079v.jpg|1|lbl=79v.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[10]</small> Item: When in the bind, thrust towards his feet as if you wanted to hit, but behave as if you had missed, and as soon as he thrusts in after to you, turn his thrust away with a step out and thrust in simultaneously with him.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 079v.jpg|2|lbl=79v.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[11]</small> When you have bound with him in the middle, or the second part of the staff, then remain strong in the parry and note as soon as he opens himself, whether with changing through or however it happens then thrust in quickly being strong with the displacement.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 079v.jpg|3|lbl=79v.3}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[12]</small> Item: However, if he will not thrust after to your opening, so allow the point to drop downwards, and heave the rear hand upwards, thus you stand in the hanging as soon as he then thrusts after at your opening, then turn his thrust away and thrust in simultaneously with him.</p>

| 
| <p><small>[14]</small> Note: When you bind with one from your right, then thrust him upwards to the face but fall, and at the same time allow the point to sink downwards to his right then change through and heave your rear arm upwards and thrust from above down to his hip, pull the staff around your head and strike after or if he will thrust to your face while you are (changing through) with your forward point under his arm, so then turn away his thrust upwards and thrust after to him.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[15]</small> '''Swing thrust'''</p>

<p>Note, bind on to him from your right against his left, pull your staff with both arms around your head so that the staff flies around to your left like a Zwerch with this you make your face open, then take out his thrust from your left to right so that you transfer your rear hand high above your head, and your forward point hangs down to the ground, just like the hanging, wind the thrust under your hand into his face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 080r.jpg|2|lbl=80r.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[16]</small> Item: If one strikes at your feet, then parry his strike with the point towards the ground, thrust him quickly from below to his face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 080v.jpg|1|lbl=80v.1}}

| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 080v.jpg|2|lbl=80v.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[18]</small> Item: If one strikes to your shoulder or to your middle, then parry between both your hands so that your point hangs to the ground, and drive him with the rear point into his face, however if you parry his strike to your right, then step and thrust him with the forward point from below to his face.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 080v.jpg|3|lbl=80v.3}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[19]</small> Item: You may also suppress the strike with a strike from above onto the Strong of his staff.</p>

|- 
| [[file:MS Bibl. 2465 081r.jpg|400px|center]]
| <p><small>[20]</small> '''Winding'''</p>

<p>Note If one binds hard on your staff and rests hard there in the bind by your left side, then thrust upwards strongly to his face on his staff that he must parry, ''Indes'' spring in well under the staff with a thrust and turn with your rear point over his staff and strike him crosswise to the head.</p>
| 
{{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 080v.jpg|5|lbl=80v.5|p=1}} {{paget|Page:MS Bibl. 2465|081r|jpg|lbl=81r|p=1}}

| <p><small>[21]</small> Item: If you bind on him from your right then thrust upwards from his left to his face, instantly run in under his staff and with the rear of your staff, catch his staff between his arm and his staff close to his hand and wrench out to your right side, come to your own aid with the Long Point or the entire staff. You may also bind in such running in with the rear point to the face.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[22]</small> In all winding, be careful on which side you thrust in with the Long Point. So wind with the other rear point with a running in to the other opening under or above the arm.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 082r.jpg|2|lbl=82r.2}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[23]</small> Above the arm you may take him with the rear point around the neck and with the foot step behind and throw or other wrestling on the hand taking.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 082r.jpg|3|lbl=82r.3}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[24]</small> If someone wants to run in at you, pull back short with the staff with a jump and let the point sink so that your rear hand is high, then your staff will come between you and him in the hanging, push him away from you on his chest.</p>

|- 
| class="noline" | 
| class="noline" | <p><small>[25]</small> Several clarifications of good strikes with the staff: When you bind one at the forward point, jerk your hand over you and give the staff a swing with your left hand and strike him above to the head, Cross Strike is when you pull in the bind and strike with both hands to his forward arm from the other side. Round Strike I want to save for the halberd. Locker Strike is the one with an overhand. Through Strike is when you strike him through to his forward leg and back in again to the other side.</p>

| <p><small>[1]</small> '''Now I give the halberd'''. I will teach it first from the Driving Cuts which are very useful in the wrenching.</p>

<p>Item: Firstly do this, stand with the left foot forward so that you lead with the left, hold your halberd in the right Ox and rip through with the hook from your right over the left leg, the second cut through from your left shoulder with the blade, so that again you come into the right Ox, thus drive these two cuts together, the one from the right with the hook is a rip, the second with the blade is a cut.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 082v.jpg|1|lbl=82v.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[2]</small> Item: Stand with the left foot forward, the halberd beside your right, the point at the ground, cut the first with the hook from below diagonally through the opponent, the second from your right also from below diagonally through the opponent with the blade, the third rip again through from below with the hook from your left like the first, the fourth also again from the lower right with the blade like the second and from then on however many cuts as you want through the cross from below or like the first driving from above, to your advantage and note that the rip with the hook is from the right and is the Taker, the cut from the left is the Hitter, however if you lead with the right hand forward, then the rip comes from the left and the cut from the right.</p>

| 
| <p><small>[3]</small> Once again stand with the left forward and cut the Low Cut from your left with the blade so that you come into the right Ox, from there rip downwards over your left leg thus you may drive the rip and cut together from below and above over your left thigh until you see an advantage.</p>

| <p><small>[8]</small> Note: If you stand in a Low Guard before an opponent, then pay attention when he will work at you from above or to your face, so see when you can catch his halberd with your blade, then do it with force upwards and as soon as he goes off, then thrust forth to the opening that you certainly have.</p>
| {{paget|Page:MS Bibl. 2465|084v|jpg|lbl=84v}}

| 
| <p><small>[9]</small> Note when one is almost at you, then pull upwards while instantly sinking with the point to the ground, so that your rear hand is high above your head, turn out his thrust then through the hanging between you and him, set it off into his face, or attack him with the blade also to his forward set leg, pulling to you.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 085r.jpg|1|lbl=85r.1}}

|-

| {{paget|Page:MS Bibl. 2465|085v|jpg|lbl=85v}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[14]</small> Item: If you bind on his blade with yours, then drive with your blade a little above his, and wind with your blade over his staff and wrench downwards, then yank his weapon on the Weak and change through by his right and thrust him to the chest.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[16]</small> If you bind on to him from your left, then change through and thrust to the other side, to the half part, as soon as he turns away your thrust and will quickly thrust after, then note when he thrusts that you step out from his thrust to your right side and shove the halberd off from you and over his staff, capture him with your blade around his neck and pull to you or catch him by his forward hand, and wrench that away, yank his halberd away from him and then thrust after.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 086r.jpg|3|lbl=86r.3}}

| <p><small>[18]</small> If you come to him with your left foot forward and also your left hand forward on the staff, then lift your rear point over your head and let the blade run down next to your left side. Then strike a High Blow from your left shoulder and as soon as he moves upwards to displace, so turn the strike into a thrust and stab him under his displacement to the chest.</p>

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[19]</small> Note when one brings at you a Round Strike with the hook, that you must drive this strike upwards with your hook to parry, so pay attention as soon as he reverses it into a thrust, then remain with your arms high and sink the blade beside your lower left, then turn out his thrust from your left between he and you, through the hanging and thrust from below to his belly.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 087r.jpg|1|lbl=87r.1}}

| {{paget|Page:MS Bibl. 2465|088r|jpg|lbl=88r}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[24]</small> Note when you have thrown a power strike at him or failed with it, then spring the blade quickly after, quickly pull with a rip upwards or when you spring after with the halberd from below away from you, or when you fail with the cut then pull the staff back up again around your head and cut at him a ''Wecht'' Strike (Overhanging Strike?), in the strike grab your staff again for the thrust he shall not be able to hit anyone with the halberd to his benefit.</p>
| {{section|Page:MS Bibl. 2465 088v.jpg|1|lbl=88v.1}}

|- 
| 
| <p><small>[25]</small> Item: In the wrenching hold fast and pay good attention, when wrenching to yourself, that you do not go (away), so that you don't open yourself, rather always wrench downwards or out to a side, or else he will follow after your wrench to your face.</p>
