Young knight, learn.: Revere God and honor women, converse wholesomely with women and be manly. Then, one shall shall marry you. Also, before laying down with them, do not let yourself be deceived. Consider the spirit of this one against what does you wrong and set your judgment in a noble place. Therefore, learn manly knightcraft yet with lightness. Practice shot putting, squatting, pressing, fencing and wrestling, dancing and leaping, jousting and competing. With these, one shall curry favor with beautiful women surely clapping and delighting. Fencing demands having a heart. Whoever is terrified doing this won't ever learn to fence. Why? Whosoever loses the art of the sword, they go dumb. And great strokes also make such a seized heart soft. That's why one often hears one say that someone seized up often becomes struck and is one without a sense of daring. Thus a fool will come out during fencing, and they have not learned the art. This I myself, Jorg Wilhlem Hutmacher from Augsburg, lament day and night.

Here they fence to the opening to the head and also to the sides.

Know to target the four openings, So that you strike wisely Without any danger, Without any doubt however they bear.

You will become well aware of this. Furthermore, how you shall break the four openings, comes from the things that follow hereafter. Note the gloss.

Whoever wishes to attack you, blocking shall relieve you. And if you have parried, Then dispatch all their attacks disrupted.

Both of the two stand on the right in the descending cut If you wish to examine the art, Then be left and right when attacking. And left with right Is how you desire to initiate fencing strongly. Whoever is a follower when atttacking Consigns themselves to little joy of the art. Attack closing in whatever you wish, No disengaging comes upon your shield. Do not avoid the fencing to the head, to the body With the entire body, Fence whatever it is you desire to conduct strongly.

Hereafter, whatever you strike, make it fresh.

These two both stand in the descending cut from the left

Do not fence from above on the left if you are right handed And if you are left handed And you are also severely impeded on the right Before and After, the two things Are the singular origin of the entire art Weak and Strong frames your work in the moment [Indes]. With this, note So you may learn To work with Art. And Those who Frighten easily Shall learn no fencing.

This one stands in a descending cut

This is the wrathcut from the right shoulder This is about the wrathcut.
