[ 5] Let thy left handed adversary stringere thee at the inside of thy Rapier, and upon a suddaine thrust at him within with a Se∣cunde close to the Secunde or weakest part of his Rapier, neare his point, if hee doth strive to parere thy Secunde with a Quarte towards his right side, then change thy Secunde into a Quarte and Voltere him at the inside of his weapon at his right breast: But if hee doth parere too farre towards his right side, that thou canst not hit his breast, then let thy Quarte sinke in un∣der his left arme and Voltere him with thy Quart at his left side.
