Talhoffer teaches here a general teaching about the long sword from the Zettel, etc.

9	If you want to behold the art,  Then fight to the left, with cuts from the right,
10	And to the left against the right  If you want to fight strongly.
11	Whoever follows after with poor cuts  May find little joy in the art.
12	Cut close to what you want,  Do not allow a Changer on your shield,
13	At your head, at the body  Do not neglect/avoid Tag hits
14	Now fight widely with the whole body  Whatever you strongly want to do
14a	However, additionally remember and also  Understand it correctly
15	Do not fight above left if you are right
16
17	Before/after, two things [that]  Are an origin for all art
18	Remember your weak and your strong  Likewise your work therein
19	Thus you can learn  To defend yourself with fighting
20	Whoever is thus easily frightened  Should never learn any fighting.

Text on the recital's parts

21	The cuts are five and are called five vowels  Learn them correctly and remember them well
22
22a	The correct foundation comes to us from them  Which is known to very few fighters.
