[2] Whoever wants to hew upon you, you shall parry it with joy, and when you have parried, thus all of his hews are destroyed. The two both stand to the right in the over hew If you want to behold the art, then to left and right with hews and left with right is what you strongly desire to fence. Whoever goes after with hews allow their art little joy. Hew nearing what you want, no change-through comes to your shield. To head, to body, don’t abandon the fencing, with the whole body fence, what you desire to drive strongly, hereafter what you strike crisply on.			600px
[3] The two both stand on the left in the over hew Don’t fence above on the left if you are right handed, and if you are left handed and in the right also severely hindered. Before and after, the two things are the origin of all art. Weak and strong, indes, wait, with that note your work. Thus may you learn your work with art, and whoever frightens easily, he shall not learn to be a fencer.			600px	600px
[4] He stands in the over hew This is the wrath hew from the right shoulder This is about the wrath hew. Whoever hews you from above, take the wrath hew strong on your shoulder and hew in straight, over the parry, and hang and wind with the sword as if you want to thwart, and allow to drop to both sides with half failers and hit him with the long edge to the right ear to the head away.			600px	600px
[5] He stands in the over hew This is the wrath hew from the left shoulder This is the wrath hew on the left side, and take the same from the left shoulder and hew him quickly in long to the head and hang and wind with it, and again use the failers, and hit yet again as stands written before and behind.			600px	600px
[6] This is the wrath point He stands in the over hew This is the direction, and note: whoever hews you from above, that you penetrate him with the wrath point and if he becomes aware, then take it away above without risk, and be strong here again, wind, hew, and stab, if he sees it, then take it low. Note this precisely: hew, stab, weak and strong and take it with half failers, but hit in as before and behind.			600px	600px
[7] He stands in the over hew This is the other wrath point. This is the other wrath point on the other side, take it also thusly: If they indeed both wrath hew from the shoulder, and one must make a stab from a hew, and the hew must be thrown, and take that also quickly away like the above.			600px	600px
[8] Here, fences to the war The two stand in the war This is the direction about the war: Whoever’s war aims above, he will be shamed from above low. Indes, before and after, don’t be quick to your war, understand this in all things if you want to make the war. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[9] This play is in the war This is also about the war, and should also know that in all windings, hew and stab swords, run-over sword, wind out in all exchanges if you want to fool the masters because there are very many breaks about them and also to them, realize how one bares with the war. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[10] This is an outer winding and break from the war This is another play from the war and a break of the previous play, and is an outer winding that goes: hew or stab, find slices well. You shall also hew, stab, slice below with need in all exchanges if you want to fool the master.			600px	600px
[11] This is also about the war This is also about the war: squint to the point and take the neck without apprehension. You shall also turn crooked and search to and on and test his techniques, whether he is soft or hard in his technique. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[12] This is also about the war This is about the war. The direction: Whoever rightly fights one with the sword near the neck, he must turn with a winding through and wind again. That goes well weak and strong below and turn your sword at the neck and jerk the left foot behind you and slice him or the neck. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[13] Those are points in the war Those are the false points in the war. They go forth earnestly, because why they pertain to many passages, in addition, windings below through or wind nimbly above to the top and throw the point onto the hands and invert forcing run through also if you want to wrestle.			600px	600px
[14] This is also about the war This is the war when you strike someone to the right side, then the other takes the war and needs no more from you than to parry your opening with the long edge and thus he shoots to you with the sword above over, and do as you see it pictured.				600px
[15] This is also about the war, a sword taking Gloss note: This is a sword taking and goes from the war, which one takes very slightly away, so that there are yet very many good plays which pertain to the war, and is many things of the war, and therefore you should note very many things.			600px	600px	Page:Cod.Guelf.38.21 Aug.2º|021v.jpg|600px|center]]
[16] Here, fencing to the four openings Those are two openings Here fence to the openings to the head and also to the side. Know to aim for the four openings, thus you will hit wisely without fear, without all doubt how he bares, you will be well aware of that. Also, it comes after at the end hereafter how you shall break the four openings. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[17] Those are also two openings Those are the other two openings to the other side, therefore deceive and note on as the whole, and whoever takes the openings below, they will be shamed above near the ears. Gloss note weak and strong.			600px	600px
[18] This is the crooked hew on the right side change He stands in the over hew This is about the crooked hew, the direction: Crook on nimbly, throw the point upon the hands. Hew crooked to the flats if you want to weaken the masters. Don’t hew crooked, hew short, with it show your change through, or use if you want to wrestle, and step to him in the triangle. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[19] He stands in the over hew This is the crooked hew from the left side That is, crook on nimbly. Whoever parries well with striding, he destroys many hews. Hew crooked to the flats if you want to weaken the masters. When it sparks above, stand away, that I want to praise. Strike crooked and not short hew, with it show the change through. Hew crooked whoever errs you, the noble war confuses him.			600px	600px
[20] This is how one shall break in the four openings: He hits him with opening to the side, thus the other breaks it to him and hits him behind onto his head He hits to the other opening to his right side This is to break openings, and you want to reckon yourself, artfully break the four openings, you double above, rightly mutate below. I say to you truthfully, no man protects himself without danger. If you have heard, he may come to hit nobody. That I have heard. Gloss note.			600px	600px
