<p>Your enemy being in third or high fourth, you will lodge your sword inward; from there, you will shoot a feint outward over his hilt; and in case he goes to parry the feint, at the same time you will lodge your left hand on his weak one in order to keep his point out of your presence; disengaging your point below his guard, you will strike his right side with firm foot. Be advised that for all feints where the hand assists, it is necessary in performing the feint that the right foot advances and the left comes to join it. But when you shoot the real high-thrust, you will perform it with firm foot.</p>

  1. ↑ According to Lauvernay, fourniment is the powder case of arquebusiers and musketeers (sometimes extended to all the equipment carried). The word is only used once to indicate a place on the body, probably a bit below the shoulder.
  2. ↑ Droit can mean "right" or "correct" (as in not incorrect) or "true".
  3. ↑ Volter is an Italian loanword of voltare which means "to turn".
  4. ↑ Estocade is the French loanword for the Italian stoccata and is used in this treatise as "supination".
  5. ↑ Brocade is the French loanword for the Italian imbroccata and is used in this treatise as "pronation".
  6. ↑ Caver is the French loanword for the Italian cavare, which means "to dig or to excavate".
  7. ↑ Lit. translated as "right-hands".
  8. ↑ Estramaçon is a loanword for the Italian stramazzare which means "to fall heavily". It is also French for greatsword.
  9. ↑ Credits to Alan Bloniarz for providing context to the word "garatusa" which is a Spanish card game where one discards their cards to win.
  10. ↑ Écarté is the French loanword for the Italian technique "inquartata" and means "discarded"
  11. ↑ Gannance is a loanword derived from the Spanish word "ganancia", which means "gain". It is used to describe a situation where your blade is used to restrict the opponent's blade movement. Credit to Tim Riviera for the explanation.

  13. ↑ Chassement means "chasing". In this case, it is the back foot chasing the front. In modern fencing, this is known as advancing.
