	300px	[90] If I am armored this is a good cover to choose, And from here I can enter quickly into the middle bind, And the fight will be over For there is no good defense against it. I am the Seventh [Dagger Remedy] Master and I play with arms crossed. And this cover is better made when armored than unarmored. The plays that I can do from this cover are the plays that came before me, especially the middle bind which is the third play of the first Dagger Remedy Master…			[17r-a] ¶ Lo Setimo Magistro son che zogo cum le brazze incrosade, e piu vale questa coverta in arme che senç'arme. Quello che posso fare cum tal coverta gli miei zogi sono denançi, zoe la ligadura mezana ch'e lo terzo zogo del primo magistro rimedio di daga. Anchora te posso voltar pençando te cum la mia man stancha lo tuo dritto cubito. E poii ferirte in la testa o in le spalle di subito. E questa coverta e piu per ligare che per far altro, ed'e fortissima coverta contra daga.	[11b-e] Siando arma questa coverta voio pigliar E subito in la chiave mezana voio intrar Aquella ch'e finimento de bataiia E contra lei non ne deffesa che gli uaiia	[36v-c] ¶ Hanc ego tecturam facio munitus in armis Et subito in mediam clavem quae terminat omne Bellum, nec contra valet ullus bellica tractans, Intrabo. nec obesse potuit mihi quisque reluctans
	300px	[91] After this turn that I make you do I will strike you and force you to the ground. …Also I can turn you by pushing your right elbow with my left hand. And I can strike you quickly in the head or in the shoulder…				[12a-b] Per la volta che presta t'o fata far Ferendoti in terra ti faro andar
	300px	[92] In armour this is a very strong cover Because from here you can bind either above or below; One way you go to the lower bind, The other way you go to the upper bind or the middle bind. …And this cover is better for binding than any other cover, and is a very strong cover to make against the dagger. [In the Paris, this Scholar wears a crown.]				[12a-c] In arme aquesto e un fortissimo incrosar Che desopra e desota se'po ligar Aquesto va ala ligadura sotana E quello de'sopra va ala meçana	[37r-c] ¶ Praevalet iste modus cruce dagam nempe tenentj. Supra nanque potuit operarj & subter in armis. Vadit ad extremam nexuram hic ludus aperte Inferior. Mediana iacet sub forte supermo.
	300px	[93] You will not be able to put me into the middle bind, Whereas I am going to strike you as I turn you. This is the counter remedy to the plays of the Seventh [Dagger Remedy] Master who came before me. With the push that I make to his right elbow, let me tell you that this counter-remedy is good against all close range plays of the dagger, the poleaxe, and the sword, whether in armor or unarmored. And once I have pushed his elbow I should quickly strike him in the shoulder. [In the Getty, the Master's right foot is forward.]			[17r-b] ¶ Questo e lo contrario del Setimo Magistro che m'e denançi. Per la penta ch'io fazo al so destro cubito. Anchora digo che questo contrario si'e bon a ogni zogo stretto di daga, e d'azza, e de Spada in arme e senç'arme. E fatta la penta al cubito, lo ferir in le spalle vol esser subito.	[11b-f] In la ligadura meçana non son per intrare Anche son per ferirte in'farte voltare
