Latin 31v

¶ Inferior clavis fertur sub nomine fortis
Est nexura quidlibet nimio discrimine mortis.
Si quis in hac intrat, vix hac exire valebit.

¶ Hoc ego contr^:arium perago luctando m^:agistri
Efficiens palma manuum quocunque reversa.
Tuque hac captura procumbes poplite flexo

The second line of the top verse has been scraped and re-written. Based on the ghostly marks that remain, we speculate that the scribe accidentally wrote the second line of the bottom verse here, mistaking one middle line beginning with E for the other.

Italian

This is called the strong key [lock] underneath  and the perilous bind of death.  The which bind, truth to tell,   whoever enters it, may exit* it badly. * ensire=escire=uscire	[9a-d] Questa e chiamata la chiave de soto forte E de ligadura perigolosa de morte La'quale ligadura sença nessun mentire Chi ghi entra male ghi po ensire
The counter of the master of the backhand, this I know how to do,  and I will make you kneel on the ground through this catch.	[9a-e] Contrario del magistro de man riverssa questo so fare E per questa presa in terra ti faro inzenochiare

English 31v

 
¶
Any and all are excessively bound by the peril of death.
If someone enters into this, they will scarcely [be able to] take their leave from this to escape.
