This is Master Jobst of Wurtemburg's understanding of the Zettel of the Long Sword.

Item. It is to be known that there are five cuts with the short edges. The first: the wrath cut, the second: the fool, the third: the crooked cut, the fourth: the war cut, the fifth: the ox and plow. And thereafter the four parries, two from below and two from above. And from each technique and parry you can conduct the art of the Zettel.

For the first, the wrath cut and the work afterwards and after that, the overwhelming and yet whoever parries you, the narrows breaks this technique. If someone overwhelms you, then take their sword. Do not conduct the wrath cut if you are then close to the opponent.

The fool is good for any parry of the opponent. You can conduct the art well.

The crooked cut serves the winding well or woefully

The war cut serves the crooked cut woefully and when you collapse their sword, then you can wind.

The ox and plow handles any hew well you can merge into

It is to be known that when you strike to one side with the wrath cut

Then you must be quite light in your movements on theirs. And if they strike again on the other side,

then parry it between the both of you

then complete it and shove your sword against their neck

and do not forget if you leave the opponent and cut, that you they do not follow you.

and whatever you fence, fence with the pommel high free in the air.

This is the short Zettel with the short edge so that you do not completely ruin it.
