zü schlag mag er klain kümen

83v a

83v a Latin

Ratio, qua nuditates, quo minus la[e]dantur, tueri licet.

Si quis acriter et totis viribus contra te feriat, et tu conatum adversarij impedire, atq[ue] curare, ne quatuor corporis partes supra modo commemoratas sauciat hostis, conaris, et is potius invitus la[e]dat[ur], tum conduplationibus contra partem ensis superiore[m], que firmior dicitur, et mutationibus contra infirmiorem utitor, ea[m] igit[ur] forma[m] si exercebis, facile hostis vulnerabitur, neq[ue] ullos habitus assumere poterit,

conduplationes hac ratione exerceto, Si adversarius supernè contra te feriat de humero suo dextro, vicissim et tu pariter cum ipso de dextro itidem firmiter ferire no[n] dubites caput appetendo, eum ictum si parte ensis firmiori hostis exceperit[^1], sublatis brachiis, manu sinistra nodum ensis tui sub brachium dextrum si co[n]torseris, acie lo[n]ga p[re]missa ex brachiis cancellatis caput ipsius saucies retro ipsius ensem.

83v a English

The method allows [you] to observe any opening which has been minorly injured

If anyone strikes against you fiercely and with [their] whole strength, and you attempt to impede the attempt of the adversary, and to take care, [and] the enemy has not wounded the four parts of the body in the way which has been recorded above, and HE having been wounded is more reluctant, then by means of repetitions against the higher part of the sword, which is called stouter, and use alterations against the weaker, therefore if you employ this form. the opponent is easily wounded, and he will not be able to take up any gesture —

employ repetitions using this method, If the adversary strikes against you from above away from his right arm, and you in turn equally with the same from the right, likewise don't hesitate to strike firmly while seeking the head; should the opponent take out that strike using the stouter part of the sword, (the arms having been lifted), if you would twine the knob of your sword with the left hand below the right shoulder, you would wound his head by means of sending the long edge forward from crossed arms back to his sword

83v b Latin

At si in primo conflictu eius ensem ex latere sinistro tuo contigeris acie longa. sublatis confestim brachijs in ipsius ense tuus h[a]ereat, verum pòst retro ipsius ensem strictum, acie brevi caput vulneres.
