the Pursuit of this Guard altoge∣ther unnecessary.Sch.But how am I to defend my self, if my Adversarie should pursue me, I keeping this Guard?Ma.You must Defend your self two wayes, either by parieing,How a man is to De∣fend himself upon the Quart Gurad with a streight point. or by using con∣traries to the Lessons your Adversarie playes upon you, if you intend to Defend your self by parieing, which certainlie is the best way, when once a Man is Master of it, then use any of the five Parades I shew you in the Defensive part according to your discretion, and Judgment, but if you intend to use Contraries, then make use of the Contraries which belongeth to the Lessons you Judge your Adversarie is to play upon you, the which Contraries you know, all alongst, I have set down, immediate∣lie after the Lessons they belong to, and therefore, I think a repetition of them in this place, altogether unnecessarie, seing it is but your pains to look back to the pages, where they are set down, and that you may make use of them according to your Judgement, and pleasure.Sch.It is so, but which is your next Guard?0
