forward near to his right, and then secure his sword, when you do this, you must keep a close Right Foot, and remember alwayes, after you have taken hold of your Adversaries sword, to draw back your right Legg, and Arm, and hold your swords point to his Breast, as in Plat. 8. Fig. 1. So that if he do not immediately yield you his sword,
Oc∣casion 5 you may either give him the Thrust, or spare him, as you please. Fiftly, you may Command your Adversaries sword after this fashion, which is a very good time for Commanding, and that is imme∣diately after you have given in a Thrust without the sword, and that your Adversarie hath paried it, you must then immediately, leap half about to the right, changing your Feet, by putting the Left where the Right was, and the right where the Left was, and in the very time you are changing your Feet, bring your sword which was under your Adversaries, quite over your head, and in the mean time you do this, throw your left arme over your Adversaries sword and so secure it, under your Left arm as in Plat. 8. Fig. 1. The changing of your Feet, bringing your sword over your head, and securing of your Adversaries sword un∣der your Arm must be all done together,
