;Gesture of slicing off
  
* This gesture shifts the wrapping from above of your sword, and it is necessary to handle it thusly. 
* If you employ Athletics against the enemy using the strikes from below, or if you arrange yourself in the guard, which is called Poplar by us, and THEY place their sword over yours before you lift up the sword, your sword remains in contact below under their sword, truly, if you will strongly raise using the short edge, and if THEY press down, then your sword having been shifted backwards and stealthily away from theirs, quickly wound the face above next to the opponent's sword.

* Execute it like this: When you fence with your opponent from cuts from below or from fighting cuts or if you lay against your opponent in the guard here called the fool, if they then fall with their sword upon that before you lift upward with yours, remain on their sword from below, and lift firmly upwards with your short edge. 
* If they subsequently push strongly downward, then sweep quickly backwards, with your sword against and underneath their sword's blade, away from their sword, and cut quickly back on their sword from above at their face.}}

* You will practice the change-across using this method. 
* When you advance toward the opponent, you strike extended against their head attacking above, truly if THEY strike in opposition, attacking the sword and not the body, then send the point across below, before the adversary touches your sword, and you thrust against the other side. 
* and if the enemy would have observed that this has taken place, and they will attempt to shift the forward attack, you will remember to send the sword across again in the direction of the other side, therefore employ this gesture as often as the adversary, protecting themself, opposes your sword on both sides.
|  style="vertical-align:top;"| 
* Item. Execute the change through like this: When you approach the opponent with the initiation of fencing, cut long [and] inwards at the opponent's head. 
* if they subsequently cut against your sword and with that at your body, then let your point slip through unnoticed from below with their cut, before they bind against your sword, and stab them on the other side. 
* Then if they become aware of the thrust and immediately chase your thrust with their sword with a counteraction, then change through again to the other side. 
* And always execute this when the opponent chases after your sword with a counteraction on both sides.

; REGARDING THE WIDE-OPEN WINDOW

* It was called to mind above, a method by which it is essential to compose yourself athletically, the sword having been directed in the four aforesaid guards. 
* Now therefore you would understand the posture we start from to be the guard you can most safely stand in, moreover the guard itself is the point, of the long edge, here namely is the best part of the sword, and the noblest: if any therefore practice properly out of the same Athletics, consequently they round up the adversaries, in order that the reluctant will be wounded.

Note you have heard before about how you should place yourself into the four guards with your sword in front of your opponent. You shall know that the speaking window is a guard in which you can stand fully secure. And this guard is the long point which is the noblest and the best defence on the sword. Whoever can fence from it correctly, they constrain their opponent with it such that the opponent must allow themselves to be struck without their consent and therefore cannot easily come to blows.

* On the other hand, you will form the wide open window in this way. 
* If you moved forward in view of the adversary, the sword being properly directed, employing whatever stroke, whether from above or from below, then immediately after the long point, the lower arm having been extended equally from the strike, you strike against the face or the chest of the enemy, and, in this deep thrust, you press them hard in the attack up to having defended themself, or they will strike your sword in the first approach, therefore, if they would do this, the long edge of your sword would stick fiercely to their sword; and in the meantime, you would diligently observe, with a strong and unwearied mind, what gesture the adversary wants to practice; if the enemy withdraws from your sword, with your sword following, seek their face or chest. 
* But if in truth they attempt to strike your other side from the first flashing approach, you would strongly cut the arm of the adversary in turn, and work diligently against their head. 
* Truly if the adversary neither withdraws from your sword, nor do they want to strike the other side, then use doubling or another from whatever gesture close to that which you perceive them to hold their sword strongly or weakly.

|  style="vertical-align:top;"| Item. Execute the speaking window like this: Whenever you move toward your opponent with the initiation of fencing, with whichever cut you subsequently attack them with, be it a cut from above or below, always let your point shoot in long from your arms with your cut at their face or chest. With this, you force them, so that they must counteract or bind. And when they have bound on, remain strong with the long edge on their sword, and stand easy and observe their situation for whatever they plan to continue to fence. If they draw back away from your sword, then follow behind them with your point toward their face or chest. Or if they strike out from bind aroound to the other side, then slice strongly across their arms and work from above to their head. Or if they do not want to withdraw from your sword, nor strike around, then work with doubling or otherwise with other techniques, according to whether you sense that they are strong or weak against your sword.

|  style="vertical-align:top;"| Item. So you shall know that the speaking windows are two guards from the longpoint. One against the sword and the other in front of the opponent before you either bind against their sword or before the swords clash together and yet they are nothing more than a single guard.

* The sequence of the cutting-into out of the applied form.
*:
* You should make use of the sequences out of both sides while adding the cutting-into, grasp it thus.
*  If the adversary had passed his long strike before your eyes from the right side, or the left, YOU follow his strike courageously, with your sword against his opening.
* But if HE had raised lifted up the sword, ''and your sword had struck from below, while (during) being observed most carefully,'' in order that the swords will have been contacted to the greatest extent, ''you place your sword on top (or over [his]) from the long point, quickly at the shoulder of the enemy,'' and you press it down with this account, or, if you would prefer, you plow into the mouth.

This is so that you should carry out the pursuit on both sides and also strike the slice inward. Consider it like this: When the opponent cuts and misses before you, be it from either the right or from the left side, freely cut after it into the opening. 
Then, if they rise up and bind against your sword from below, then take note: as soon as one sword clashes against the other, INDES fall upon their arm with your long edge, and either press downwards with your edge or execute a slice at their mouth.

* You can also employ the same from the crossed guard from either side, therefore dispose yourself in the previously mentioned guard. 
* When near to the opponent, pull back the gladius in the manner of athletes [in order to] concede temporarily, advance your left foot, thus hold the sword next to the right side, so that the point inclines downward, turn the long edge above, and so you will make the left side opening available to the enemy, if the enemy should assail IT, striking [the enemy above?], then leap forward with the right foot, and using this method you evade the blow into the right side of the enemy, thence you twine the knot [pommel] of the sword under the right arm, and you wound their hands (which have been crossed) using the point from the long edge.
|  style="vertical-align:top;"| <br/>

* Item. You should also execute the crooked cut from the crossed guard from both sides. 
* Position yourself into the guard like this. 
* When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your sword upon the ground with the point next to your right side such that the long edge of the sword faces upward and present yourself with your left side open. 
* If they then cut from above into your opening, then jump away from the cut<ref>Mair omits "the cut"</ref> well to the right side, with your right foot facing them and use your left hand to thrust the pommel of your sword under your right arm, and strike, from the long edge with crossed hands, onto their hands with your point.
